I am no fan of Apple's phones, last I used being an iPhone 2. But this argument is nonsense to my mind. I cannot remember the last time I used the headphone adapter on my phone. It was probably at least two phone upgrades ago, making it an early generation Android device (I have since dumped Android for Windows). Modern mobile headphones, speakers, and automobiles attach to the device via Bluetooth. If am doing high-fidelity listening using good headphones, I'm not playing the audio from my phone anyway; I am at home with my proper audio equipment. I don't know anyone who uses the headphone port on their phone. That said, I agree that I'm not clamoring for an ultra-thin device, principally because I don't find it particularly easy to hold a super thin phone. I'm not ruling out the possibility that an ultra-thin device could be designed that is easy to hold, but of all the problems I have with mobile computing, thickness is not in my top 50 complaints. In fact, subjective or apparent fragility is more a concern than thickness, and reducing thickness will inevitably (I feel) increase apparent fragility.
