Wired headphones... could be used while charging

Sure is a shame nobody ever came up with a way to do that before.

Soon you're gonna feel lucky that your phone has even ONE port.

Give it 5 years and Apple will have removed their lightning and/or USB port and gone wireless on everything.

This is what life is when all viable phones are made by two giant tech companies.

1. I never understood why space should be at premium. A phone does not need to be as thin as possible. 1½-2cm thickness is reasonable in my eyes, and would allow so much more ports and/or buttons. I would have use for 2-3 extra buttons.
2. The biggest pro of two opposing ports: you could always charge your device regardless of orientation. With just a port on the bottom charging while scrolling in the bed is often uncomfortable

Bring back the headphone port! Bring back the headphone port! Bring back the headphone port!

You know what? As long as the second port isn't gimped in any way (can do video out + all the typical USB things), then I might forgive them for taking away the headphone jack.

And the 2nd one could go full thunderbolt too

Weird headphones don't use ucb-c, there is already a standard for headphones and it's the 3.5mm audio jack.

ASUS ROG Phones have them. Also with a headphone jack I think.

I agree with this idea. But it would make it harder to pick up your phone blindly and know which end is the top. I instinctively feel for the usb port on the bottom so it's oriented correctly by the time my arm swings it into view.

Can USB hubs even allow the phone to be charged and simultaneously control things through the same port? I know I tried that back in the USB2 days and found it infuriatingly false, since had set up a wired USB mouse and game controller to my tablet for portable shooters. One particular hazard is I've found that combining bluetooth headphones and game controllers can result in unplayably-bad latency on Android, so wired options would be nice.
