Top or Bottom?

Do you prefer the headphone jack to be on the top or bottom of your phone? I just bought a Pixel 5A and it's on top. I'm mildly curious if people have strong preferences and rationale either way.

It depends on the way you are using/placing/storing/holding the phone. If you're putting the phone in a pocket, it's best to have the port on the top. If you're holding the phone in your hand, it's best to have the port on the bottom.

The Highlander Law doesn't apply here.

I just prefer that the headphone jack be on the same side as the charging port. That way it can be stood up in that orientation regardless of if stuff is plugged into both.

    This works because headphone plugs are narrow and don't interfere with other peripherals. They're also round, so you can't put it in wrong.

Never thought about it, but mine is at the top and now I realise I would prefer it to be at the bottom. Something new to be dissatisfied about - thank you :(
