That's what I thought too, but then I just bought enough $10 usb-c to headphone dongles for all of the headphones I usually use (one at home, one at work one in the car and one in my backpack). iPhone dongles work on the Pixel too.

Sucks to have to pay $40 just to restore the functionality of the headphone jack, but kept it from being a dealbreaker.



I don't particularly trust them though. instead of just audio, some cheap dongle maker gets full USB access to my phone


Doesn't your phone limit that unless you tell it otherwise? Or do you just mean it has physical bus access?

USB is fundamentally broken and insecure. It simply isn't possible to keep a bad actor who plugs in from hijacking your system ports.
