There are $10 adapters that convert USB-C to a 3.5 mm port, if that is critical. Or just get any of the wide variety of Bluetooth devices on the market.

A 3.5mm jack costs fractions of a cent, and I don't have to carry around a $10 dollar adapter to solve an artificial problem.

Bluetooth sucks badly, and the wide array of devices on the market have batteries that need to be charged. I'll stick with the best option if i can thanks, 3.5mm jack.

Okay, but in exchange you're carrying around a $250 device that is much large than the adapter? That was my point. And for many people, myself included, Bluetooth devices do decently well even if they have their drawbacks.

Fair enough. I guess my point is that a modern phone should have both Bluetooth AND a 3.5mm jack.
