    There are still manufacturers out there making 3.5mm jack phones, and still have Bluetooth as an option so users can choose which to use. Sony and Samsung have models still, and there are a few others.

    I just can’t believe having both was the norm 15 years ago, with ample waterproofing, and now we have let it slip away for the dubious benefit of a marginally slimmer phone.
