Line in through the headphone jack?

I am looking through the specifications of the new (2021) MacBook Pro range and having difficulty finding out whether the headphone jack on any of the 14-inch models listed will also work as a line-in device. Would any of you know where I can find this specification?

Thanks in advance!

Apple's official specs suggest it is audio-out only:

Looking at the MacTracker database (in the Mac App Store), the "combo" 3.5mm system that allowed both audio in and out went away when the Retina MBPs were introduced in Late 2012.
