USB C to AUX adapters work for me.

Having a secure and up to date device should likely be more important

It is great that works for you. However, you are not everyone

Flimsy awkward adapters + having to choose between charging or audio? But they had matching earbuds with irreplaceable batteries to sell…

Ugreen sells a dual adapter. I'm sure other make one too. Don't choose, just have both.

As for flimsy, unless you get apple's piece of crap, they are resonably durable. Headphone cables were never know for duarbilty either.

Lastly, just leave the adapter plugged into your headphones or aux cable.

I'll agree, they are awkward and I do miss my headphone port, but the ~~solution~~ work around is not that deep.

While the greater knowledge tells us the jack integration costs the manufacturer less than a greenback, the narrator buys @ 20× the price a dangling dongle whose DAC quality is an unknown. Strolling with cellular apparatus in hand, the narrator’s new phone tails are inserted—one side waving in the wind & the other causing a weird, uncomfortable cinch in the junction with 3.5mm jack. Additional stress is forced upon the singlar USB-C port. Who will last longer on this phone, port, battery, screen? “This is fine” he tells himself lifting the screen searching “best Bluetooth headphone 2024” just to see what’s out there—even tho his headphones have no performance issues & a replaceable, detachable cable already built to last.
