The 3.5MM jack isn’t coming back, but having USB-C adapters would be a good compromise. I don’t see any major phone maker shipping them though, and you know Apple would charge $40 for it. Even Anker’s is like $18, and they are the current “good, but not crazy expensive” accessory brand.
It could come back immediately if a law was passed requiring it but we’re too busy fighting about social issues to actually expect the government to do it’s job.
They could also bring back 24-pin serial connectors, the old ps/2 mouse and keyboard connectors and physical keypads.
They’re not going to.
The vast majority of people are going to be buying one version of Bluetooth headsets or another anyway. The wired headsets they’re not shipping were mostly just e-waste, and the jack represented another point of liquids ingress on your phone.
Are you actually saying that social issues are less important then a headphone jack? Like, I would prefer a headphone jack, so much so that I simply buy phones that have them, but it’s not that important.

I wanted to joke that the Apple adapter would be way more expensive, but it seems to be 10€. Maybe that would work?
funnily enough I’ve only heard good things about that Apple adapter, so yeah probably
USBC Adapter is another failure point.
People will lose it or forget it.
I don’t care - I want my 3.5 mm jack back, I won’t ever forgive it. Also most phones sold on the world have 3.5 mm, just not the models sold in US.
My mom could use 3.5mm no problems, she can’t use Bluetooth - too complicated for her. Apple is a problem.

A law. A law to mandate 3.5mm headphone jacks on cellphones.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read all week.
