I presume it makes it harder to waterproof the phone with multiple ports. Having only one port, either lightning or USB-C, would hopefully lead to a better phone design. And if we’re trying to add Face ID, I assume the headphone jack is wasted space. I can buy an adapter or use the compatible Apple headphones that would be included.
But honestly, I’m done with Apple. I collect old iPhones and use them until they give out. I will not buy another flagship but am really interested in Purism’s phone. Currently have an SE, 5S, 2 5Cs, and a 6. I use them for various purposes and eventually will recycle when they die
Convenience. Not having to charge something. Having something that always just works. I have a pair of BT headphones too btw. I think both have use cases and there is no good reason to remove a jack (unlike floppies)
