      If we revisit the “loud” vs “statistically significant” paradigm, while it is a shame you will not be able to charge the phone with a dac in without buying a specific cable, how often does the average person do so?

        so you need a dongle for the DAC, and an additional dongle for charging that is also, if I recall it correctly, violates the USB-C standard. did I understand it correctly?

          Sure, for simplicities sake let’s just say it’s impossible.

          How many times has the average person needed to do so in a year?

            how many times does the average person use wireless charging? Seriously, I haven’t seen anyone do that yet, or know of someone who uses that.

            and yet that’s still a major feature in lots of phones

              If I’ve asked a question twice and you’ve danced around it both times, that tells everyone what your answer is.

                someone who is often listening to music with their phone and wired headphones, or even just when arriving at home from work, is going to use both the charger and the jack at the same time frequently.

                another scenario is if the person uses their phone as the microphone for their PC.

                you can argue that both must be rare because you have never seen them done, that’s my exact opinion about wireless charging

                  Funny you bring up wireless charging.

                  Does that not solve your proposed problem? You can use a usb-c to audio dongle, which often comes with better sound quality than a phones DAC, and wirelessly charge, even via many powerbanks. These are features found fairly commonly in today’s phones, so problem solved?

              “It’s not in front of my face, so it doesn’t exists!”

              That’s literally the thinking abilities of a toddler. Wireless chargers sell like hotcakes. MagSafe charger is Apple’s most popular accessory in their entire history.

      Wirelessly.

      Or you switch to your bluetooth buds during a wired charge.

      I’m all for audio jacks, but have been using a phone without one for 4 years now, and there are so many options to not be incovenienced.

      Also I don’t use my audiophile headphones with the phone at all - DAC on it just isn’t good enough to get most out of then, prefer to use them with my desktop PC amp only.
