It could come back immediately if a law was passed requiring it but we’re too busy fighting about social issues to actually expect the government to do it’s job.
Are you actually saying that social issues are less important then a headphone jack? Like, I would prefer a headphone jack, so much so that I simply buy phones that have them, but it’s not that important.
No. I’m saying that we need to learn to set aside our differences, even when we differ on very important issues where some people have very bad opinions, to work together on unrelated issues.
The current system of hating each other so much we can’t make any progress only benefits the 1%.
That’s not what you typed. Also, headphone jacks aren’t why we hate the 1%. If you want a headphone jack, just buy the phones with a headphone jack. Don’t feel that you need to own the flagship phones. That’s just marketing.
They could also bring back 24-pin serial connectors, the old ps/2 mouse and keyboard connectors and physical keypads.
They’re not going to.
The vast majority of people are going to be buying one version of Bluetooth headsets or another anyway. The wired headsets they’re not shipping were mostly just e-waste, and the jack represented another point of liquids ingress on your phone.
False equivalency. USB is just as good or better than PS2 connectors. Bluetooth can exist on phones anyway and USB C has all its well documented issues.
the 3.5mm jack has one thing in common with all of those connectors: Nobody uses them anymore.
as I said: the VAST majority of people aren’t using wired headsets. We’re in the modern era using bluetooth-capable headsets. Which is why bluetooth is in literally every phone for about twenty years. It’s alot more convenient than dealing with a wire.

I use mine on all my devices. and I see others too.
You’re telling me people aren’t using connections that don’t exist any more??? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked!!!
No I’m telling you they stopped using them before they were removed, and don’t use them, even when they aren’t removed.
If that weren’t true, Samsung would have seen a gain in market share when apple did it, and would never have followed.
Sorry to get on your snark, but seriously.
A law. A law to mandate 3.5mm headphone jacks on cellphones.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read all week.
I mean a lie is why Apple is adopting the USB type-c on the iPhone… Else they were never going to change.
A law* and thank god
So what?
You must not read much then. There are much dumber things said by very powerful people on the front page of Lemmy right now.
I’ll do you one better:
The government should mandate that there be no external loudspeakers, barring a simple ringer, on any mobile device.
I think mine might be just a shade dumber, but I can’t tell
No, “gov’t should regulate headphone jacks” is fucking dumb.
