One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is extremely versatile port, but you only get one and it’s used for charging half of the time. (I am aware dongles exist)
How do you figure? The only benefit wireless has over wired is the lack of cable, but it brings the drawback of added cost, limited usage due to being battery powered, limited lifespan due to limited charge cycles, and connection issues.
I think there is a place for both but BT audio is far from surpassing wired audio, which is why it shouldn’t be a forced choice. Manufacturers see little downside to removing the 3.5mm port as it only reduces cost and increases add-on sales which both increase profit. It’s not like we have a choice in the matter as consumers. We take what they give us.
