I've had phones where I needed a USB-C to jack adapter, and I'm not buying another one. I don't often use headphones with my phone, but 95% of the time, I'm on a plane and I'd like to stay charged while I watch my movie. It's also really easy to leave the dongle on the plane, so that's annoying too.

Don’t you still have the adapter?

I accidentally left an adapter on a plane, so no I don't still have that adapter.

I do have another one (from my spouse's phone), but my current phone doesn't need an adapter, because it has a 3.5mm jack.

plenty of split dongles that do power and audio, right?
