    Honestly it doesn’t really matter to me. Depending on whether it’s on the top or bottom I’ll just put my phone in my pocket to make it point upward when I use it. I tend to use Bluetooth anyway most of the time, so the headphone jack is mostly there as backup and for connecting other audio devices at parties etc.

      I still miss it so much. I’d take bottom or top, just to have that hole back. I have some amazing headphones, but they’re like 20+ years old and now gathering dust.

      I brought my favourite set of noise cancelling headphones with me after switching phones before I realized I had no devices to plug it into anymore.

    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.

    I do not care about having a headphone jack, but it would be nice to have the charging port on top; it’s more out of the way for me.

    Ever since I’ve gotten some decent noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones, I don’t really care where the headphone jack is or even if there is one. It happened way too many times that the cable got snagged on something and yanked the buds out of my ears, and I’m well past the age where I had the cable under my shirt and the earbuds dangling in front of me all the time. Especially when running or otherwise exercising, I don’t miss the cable one tiny bit.

    Anywhere but the bottom half of the phone. I hate that the charging port is on the bottom. It’s in the way when I need to use my phone while charging.

    bottom, so I can charge it and have headphones plugged in at the same time while it’s in my pocket.

    I had the last generation iPod nano, and none of the clip-on cases I could find would put it upside down like the way I preferred my phone so I cut it with an exacto knife to reverse it
