       One of my most hated activities is buying a new phone. Would like a real headphone jack and wireless charging without spending stupid amounts of money. Apparently I get to choose zero or one of my purchase criteria. Even giving in on the headphone jack (#@$! you, Apple...), wireless charging seems to have disappeared.Every time I go to buy a phone, they're packed with expensive features I either don't care about or actively do not want: curved glass, flexible phone, forty cameras including 7 selfie cams poking through random holes and notches in the display, water thin yet almost too wide to hold in a typical adult human hand. This isn't some recent old-age thing; it's been going on for at least a decade and I really hate it.

       @arclight I could have written your post word for word and I found that the iPhone SE 2022 solved my new phone issue quite nicely earlier this year. I had to give up the headphone port but Qi charging honestly makes more sense so now I just leave my (old style) headphones plugged in to the main port with an adapter and placed on a Qi pad all day. When I have to get up from my desk I don't have to unplug anything at all. Takes an old style 6 case too so there's tons available dirt cheap.

       @vees @arclight Yep. I hope they never drop the SE line, it's the only one I actually like.

       @complexmath @vees I'm looking at the OnePlus Nord N20 which is a little on the cheap side. I can't justify an $800 phone; my wife got a whole gaming laptop for that much. I've liked my last two LGs but they left the phone market.
