See, I'm the opposite. I always wanted the headphone jack on the bottom because that's where it needs to be for the phone to go properly in my pocket.

If screen rotation were free, surely you could both have what you want?

It's not just the screen. The actual physical phone has to come out of my pocket upside down if the headphone jack is on the top. The volume keys are on the wrong side; if you have a home button or fingerprint reader, it's flipped upside down.

I wasn't trying to make a massive deal about it, for what it's worth. Every phone I've had for probably 8 years has had the jack on the top instead of the bottom where I'd want it. It's fine. I was just chiming in to say there are legitimate reasons why it's not necessarily obvious that there's a correct answer.

Problem is that the camera is on top so if you rotate the phone and stand the phone on a surface, the camera is pointing in the wrong place.
