I haven't found a >=2025 phone (I started looking in the summer) with a headphone jack that I can actually use more conveniently than a tablet. Everything now requires two hands, not counting warrantyless china phones like the jelly star, or ones with a chipset that would have been considered fast in 2018

As for the camera, a webcam sticker seems much more convenient than needing to mess with the hardware internals

Why such a restriction?

Except there is also a microphone.

What do you mean? My phone has a convenient, external hardware kill switch. No messing with internals is necessary.
