I'm deeply saddened that they didn't add a 3.5mm audio/headphone jack.

There was a community poll and I believe a headphone jack was the second-most requested feature after a MicroSD slot.

I appreciate they have to draw a line under the feature set somewhere, however the cost of an audio jack is literal pennies and I'm quite sure the PCB designers could have squeezed it in somewhere.

As someone who has no interest in wireless accessories it makes me unwilling to buy the phone.

Seems like a very poor choice to build in a headphone jack. Why not just use usb c to headphone adapter?

		why does it seem like a very poor choice to you, exactly? as for using an adapter, it's one extra thing to carry and also difficult to charge with simultaneously

This works wonderfully in quiet environments. But the moment you have any significant background noise, and need noise-cancelling headphones, this ends up being useless because no headsets do noise cancelling over a headphone jack - only internal batteries or USB connectivity.

Even with those rare wired-optional headsets that accept headphone cords, the noise cancelling functionality gets shut off the moment you plug the headphone jack in.
