Removable batteries are coming back, as they become mandatory in the EU in 2027.
Or you can already get one with a Fairphone (which also has SD card slot).
As for the headphone jack, I'm afraid it won't come back. Bluetooth alternatives are far better these days (I got both, so I know from experience), and good adapters (like Apple one) are barely more than $10.

Bluetooth alternatives are far better these days

Disputable.

  • they are cable-less, thus need to be charged separately
  • they are cable-less, thus it is easier to lose them
  • bluetooth implementation is a potential security vulnerability
  • transmission by radio will always be less energy efficient than transmission by wire

I liked the whole not having to charge headphones thing more than anything.

I liked being able to accidentally brush up against my headphones or putting them down for a moment without them turning off my music.
