When people want to play vinyl LP's, they get vinyl record player. Most phone users today do not need 3.5mm audio jacks, so you shall not demand modern phones to be capable of playing vinyl records supporting 3.5mm audio jacks.

When people want to make love with a real woman, they find one of those.  Or, they are stuck with the wireless model!  :D

Joking aside, I have noticed that the headphone jack is making a bit of a comeback, just like vinyl records!

I disagree. I have nice headphones that have an audio plug, so I need a way to plug them in. There is no way that headphones are obsolete, even today.

You do not seem to comprehend what I am saying. Even vinyl records are not obsolete, they are just rare, not for mass consumption.

I know lots of people that use the headphone jack on their phone, when the device is meant to double as a portable music player there's a good reason for it. Bluetooth audio has its place, but sometimes it's just a hassle to deal with more devices that need to be charged up.

I read somewhere that vinyl record sales were way up over the past few years. I'm old enough to still have a handful of them that I had back when that was how you listened to music at home, then a few years ago I started buying them at thrift stores. I'm not going to argue that they sound better than digital, but a record in good condition played on a decent turntable does sound good, and it's a different experience. There's something fascinating about entirely analog audio, the earliest of which did not even require electricity. It's interesting to think that a person ~3,000 years ago could build a functional record player had the idea occurred to them.
