Most people don't care, don't use it and it saves cost and thickness. I think they are smarter than you on this.

You are not their target audience, they know there's not enough of you for it to make a difference.

It saves an amount of money so minuscule it literally makes no difference.

As for thickness, the iPhone 15 is 7.8 mm thick. You cannot in good faith believe that a 3.5 mm headphone jack can't fit in it.

Wouldn’t they have to sacrifice like three* minutes of battery life or something though? Everything packed sooo tightly.

*or 10 or 30, somebody here probably can make a really good educated guess

Depending on the internal design of the phone, maybe.

But batteries are rectangular and they can't put them EVERYWHERE. There are places (such as near the USB port) where you can't really put battery no matter what because there have to be things that would interfere with the rectangular battery.

So it might have an effect, but not necessarily, depending on design, and it might be smaller than you'd think.

Phones are so thin now that people are crying back the thicker ones...

Wouldn't be surprised if they have trackers on the iPhone to survey if ppl use the headphone jack 😂
