I have been happily cordless for years but preferred the bottom as putting the phone top down in my pocket makes for one quick motion to view the phone and put it back without rotating it.
The best answer is where the charging port is. So if we all decided it's bottom, then it has to be down there.
All the answers trying to put it at the top don't realise they would have now double problems either when charging or using the jack.
Also, bottom jack makes it great for pockets which is where the most audio time happens.
Bottom sucks though if you want to use the phone with headphones and set the bottom edge down on something (e.g. on your bed).
Same issue with charger tho?
Yeah, but you can always charge while you are sleeping or otherwise not using it but if you want to listen to stuff in an environment that requires headphones you have no choice but to have it plugged in at that time. Can't exactly pre-play your music or audio book into your headphones at night.

Top will always end up in front of the screen.
Only if you lean your phone towards you instead of slightly away from you.

Side, cuz fuck you that's why.
I vote all ports top left.
This is actually genius, because then, while you're at it, you could add different ports too, like RCA ports, a bit-perfect Toslink, etc. I desperately want this phone now! I don't care if it weighs a few extra kilograms, I NEED TOSLINK!
Give me a parallel port or give me death.
I was just thinking my hand would be less in the way than the bottom and top seems unholy and undignified.
Best we can do is co-ax

Top right.
It's best place when holding it in landscape mode.
On the back so it doesnβt get in the way.
But seriously, neither. If Iβm listening on my phone Iβll be out and about, and donβt want wires in the way. Bluetooth all the way.
At home, via a decent DAC hooked up to a PC.

To be honest i'd prefer it to be there at all considering the current trend of removing it.
But to answer your question, jack on top, so when the phone is plugged in the wall you can stay on the other side since the headphone cable wont be bent

Top
I don't really care because I rotate my screen 180 degrees in landscape if it's on the bottom and I'm using headphones
Bottom. If I pull my phone out with the bottom facing up it's a very easy transition to hold it up and use it. At the top I've got to flip the phone around when I take it out, and that's an unforgivable sin of design. Only exaggerating a little
I just want the phone to rotate correctly whichever way I choose is up. I want to be able to read ebooks and charge my phone without holding it up. /End rant
I use this to fix that problem on android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crape.rotationcontrol
Don't know about iPhone but I won't ever use them
Bottom of the phone.
I tend to mount my phone in my car and prefer if the jack is at the bottom.
