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

Lol The future is interesting
You guys have headphone jacks ?
I'm using the Pixel 5a. Solid phone, low price, unlocked so it can move networks, virtual SIM ready, 5G capable, and it has a headphone jack. Mine is a few years old and still cruising along just fine. I think they were under $500 at launch, so don't believe anybody's bullshit about headphone jacks drastically raising costs.
Same side as the charging port. All cables must come out at the same side.
I need a port on each side.
USB-C on the bottom.
3.5mm audio on top.
RJ45 on the left.
SCART on the right.
Just having one would be great. Thank you Apple (but why did so many Androids copy the removal?).
Side, cuz fuck you that's why.
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!
I prefer the headphone jack is on the bottom, next to the charging port. That way, I can put the ports down while my phone is in my pocket if i'm working, so nothing gets into the ports. Then, if I'm just keeping my phone in my pocket normally, with the ports up, my headphones can plug in without problems.
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
At the bottom. This way when you will it out of your pocket, you don't have to turn it around for the screen to be the right way up.
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
If the screen rotates 180 degrees then I don't care where the jack is.
When in my pocket or on a call I want the jack "up"
Not pickyβit just needs to be there else I would be forced to buy Bluetooth e-waste.
I don't know what kind of shit you guys buy, but I have used one single pair of Bluetooth tws earbuds since pre-covid and never looked back to wired which, at least in my experience, are the ones more prone to breaking
Edit: and it's not like I got Apple airpods or anything, they are haylou gt1 that I paid like 25$ for in 2019 or 18
Edit2: and yes I do have a micro jack in my phone which I have not used once for the three years I have had this phone
Neither. I want it on the front, right in the center.
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.
Top, 100%
Then you wont rest you phone on the cable and possibly ruin it.
Top. If I put the phone in the cup holder it sits more naturally if the jack is at the top
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.
Bottom I can always put it in a pocket upside down. Just feel downs a bit more protected from the rain.
The phone should not have a dedicated βtopβ or βbottomβ; the image should be able to flip 180 degrees via user config.
I don't really care as long as it's there. If I have to choose a spot, I think somewhere beside the usb-c port should be good.
Bottom of the phone.
I tend to mount my phone in my car and prefer if the jack is at the bottom.
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.
Bottom. It slows accumulation of pocket lint in charging port.
I love when phones place the usb on the top. I have no idea why the bottom is standard, nobody uses docks anymore.
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.
