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.
So, it can lay flat to charge…
…but it has to be upright to play music…
?
If you want to use it for other things at the same time, then yes, it can’t lay flat. I really don’t see how the concept is so difficult to understand.
It seems like you’re reaching really hard for it to be an issue.
Book stands hold phones very well.
So do old cassette cases.
I find my hand usually does a good job too, but sometimes I prop it between my knees.
If you really want it to be an issue, I guess it could be, but you’d have to try really hard to be inconvenienced.
Top will always end up in front of the screen.
Only if you lean your phone towards you instead of slightly away from you.
Which is more often that you think
I guess it depends on the type of headphone you are using. I could see your problem with those short wire earplugs with one wire to each ear where the wires are hanging between ears and phone. Not so much with the longer ones that only go to one ear and have generally thicker wires like an over-ear headset.
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.
You guys have headphone jack in your phones? I certainly miss headphone jack in a phone
Bottom. It slows accumulation of pocket lint in charging port.
Top. So it can sit in my cup holder with the map up proper.
None, because I use wireless on the phone. Tablet/laptop is used when I need fidelity.
Top. If I put the phone in the cup holder it sits more naturally if the jack is at the top
I haven’t used either so no clue. No headphone jack on the s21
Dongle life!
Top right.
It’s best place when holding it in landscape mode.Ever since I’ve gotten some decent noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones, I don’t really care where the headphone jack is or even if there is one. It happened way too many times that the cable got snagged on something and yanked the buds out of my ears, and I’m well past the age where I had the cable under my shirt and the earbuds dangling in front of me all the time. Especially when running or otherwise exercising, I don’t miss the cable one tiny bit.
Bottom, because I put my phone in my pocket top down.
Top down, ports up. That’s the way you like to hang up.
Yes
I do not care about having a headphone jack, but it would be nice to have the charging port on top; it’s more out of the way for me.
Get out your pitchforks because I prefer headphone jacks to be a thing in the past
So many non-answers that are like “war janck pls”
That’s not what the question is.
