I'm mainly a dinosaur for wanting audio jacks as i still use my old Sennheiser headphones that I bought in 2006, and still work perfectly. I did switch to Bluetooth headphones for a while but they fell apart after 12 months.
I feel like prices haven't moved in line with inflation, it's just planned obsolescence has moved further up the price range.
That said, I'm aware that I could buy a second hand iPhone with an audio jack if I really wanted.

There is something to be said about wired peripherals... their dependability, ease of use and lack of wasteful batteries that just end up in a landfill.
