> "the 3.5mm jack is the single thickest component in the phone. Removing it makes sense from this perspective." Here's the problem with that perspective... 1. The 3.5mm jack isn't the thickest part of modern smartphones. To give one example, the camera module tends to be thicker. 2. As far as I've seen pretty much nobody is looking for phones to get any slimmer, especially as slimmer phones = smaller batteries. If you can find me any comments online from other people stating that the current top of the line smartphones are too thick, I'll be very surprised.
