Top. So it can sit in my cup holder with the map up proper.

You guys have headphone jack in your phones? I certainly miss headphone jack in a phone

Bottom. Phones go in pockets top down so you don't have to readjust your grip. If it's on top, now whatever's plugged in is holding up the phone. The only real benefit for a top port is the ability to have stereo bottom speakers without space constraint worries.

Honestly it doesn't really matter to me. Depending on whether it's on the top or bottom I'll just put my phone in my pocket to make it point upward when I use it. I tend to use Bluetooth anyway most of the time, so the headphone jack is mostly there as backup and for connecting other audio devices at parties etc.

What privacy respecting phone are you using that also has a headphone jack? If it has an sd card slot too I'll think I've gone back a decade

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Well sadly I dont use a privacy respecting one, i use nokia g21

So many non-answers that are like β€œwar janck pls”

That’s not what the question is.

Get out your pitchforks because I prefer headphone jacks to be a thing in the past

Imagine if phone manufacturers asked the public like this...

I'd settle for a headphone jack period. Any suggestions?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Samsung galaxy S10, any more recent suggestions would be a godsend.

I love when phones place the usb on the top. I have no idea why the bottom is standard, nobody uses docks anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't think there's room at the top with the cameras.

My phone always goes into my pocket with the top facing the ground, always has, never bought a phone with one on the top, never will.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Me neither, just doesn't sound like a good idea when it's raining

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

The side of the phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I don't think I've seen one at the top..

I'd say bottom because I'd rather not have the cord coming towards me, rather than away, when I'm using the phone. Also it seems more ergonomic for me to put my phone in my pocket with the top pointed down rather than up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

iPhones used to have them on the top. At least.

It was kinda weird.

My Xperia 10 III has it up top. Damaged more than one cable by just jamming it in my pocket upside-down then realising the cable's getting smushed up. Note to self: Get headphones with 90 degree cable connectors

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Bottom I can always put it in a pocket upside down. Just feel downs a bit more protected from the rain.
