Failure rate is one tenth that of any other external port. Use is so widespread in home audio that it's absence is seen as a detractor. The original Walkman has a 3.5mm jack. That's how far back this standard has been in common use. I can't comprehend why anyone puts up with not having an audio jack. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago probably because they are fine with mediocre audio permalink fedilink source parent [–] soran0allsmark@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Dear god yes 😭 I miss those so much permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 2 years ago i do have a cheap Samsung with a headphone jack permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kevnyon@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Redmagic 9 has it.
