It may just be a matter of time. Especially if 2 major companies normalise it, then all the other companies get to drop a feature and save a few cents on every phone.

- pebers 9y agoIf there are enough customers that really want a headphone jack and everyone else was ditching them, it'd be a point of differentiation and hence worth those few cents for some manufacturer to offer one. I suspect that won't happen though because it'll transpire that most customers don't really care that much.
- dragonwriter 9y agoSamsung's still making a flagship line with a stylistic after pretty much everyone else dropped smartphone styluses; and they brought back external SD cards, too, which a number of manufacturers (themselves included) dropped from flagship lines. It's possible that dropping headphone jacks could become universal, but I don't see any reason to expect it's likely.
- 2muchcoffeeman 9y agoI can see wireless charging and waterproof devices becoming the norm. Most people also buy headphones from popular brands rather than attempt to discern on sound quality. I see quite a few AirPods and Bluetooth headphones these days. I don't think you can discount the possibility.
