Nah, the headphone jack can move to the history books already. They oughta replace it with something standard, though, like USB-C. Bluetooth isn't an acceptable total replacement as long as batteries add bulk and need to be recharged. When that's fixed, Bluetooth everywhere will be fine also.

Bluetooth has lag, which makes it useless for playing instruments (say guitar). Analog jacks are a nice feature, moving the DAC through another interface doesn't solve much.
