My main problem with the jack removal is that not only did it make life worse for many people, but there's really no reason for the removal. You want to convince everyone to use bluetooth headphones, fine! You don't need to get rid of the jack for that.
And the space excuse seems like a silly one: They managed to fit one in the quite thin and small iphone 6. The 5 / SE is plenty thin (my preferred phone right now) and has one. Really, I don't need a phone to be smaller than that, and phones keep getting getting larger anyway!
More generally with apple products, I don't need them to keep "innovating" all the time. My 2013 retina macbook pro is the best laptop I've ever used, and they had to make it thinner and remove a bunch of stuff for no good reason. sigh The latest iphones are marginal improvements over their previous iterations, especially in comparison to how huge a leap each one of the first few iterations were. And this is fine! It means you're approaching a stable, mature product. Stop rejiggering everything. :-(
