I've been holding out with my iPhone SE for 4 years now, it's been a great ride. I do wish I could keep this phone for longer, but as it's about to lose iOS 16 support, I can see the time is coming when I'll need to upgrade.
Problem is, there's no iPhone with a 3.5mm headphone jack anymore. I love the headphone jack – I've constantly got a pair of wired headphones, and it's so easy to swap between the iPhone and a MacBook whenever needed (or any other device, including vintage Macs). As far as I can see, there is no replacement for this level of convenience.
I'll probably end up with an iPhone 13 mini (smallest possible, still wish it were smaller and lighter though), and a lightning-headphone dongle. Dongle life seems miserable... and I know I'll lose it after a couple swaps throughout my week.
Anyone who uses wired headphones have a solution for this that works well? The best solution I could imagine would be some kind of custom case that slightly extends the iPhone and gives you headphone + lightning split...
