Maybe it's because most people still use phones with 3.5mm therefore no "roaring trade"? Plus, how would a phone case reintroduce 3.5mm without bulging out like crazy...
You can do it if you open the phone and insert enough chinesium guts, there is a youtuber that did it but it's certainly nothing covered by warranty.
- isostatic 8y agoYou'd need something no more than 8mm (an iphone SE has a jack and is 7.6mm thick - thinner than an X). It would add 8mm to the length of the case too (you'd insert sideways) All iphones are 7-8mm thick, so any case is going to be thick enough to support a jack, which means adding 8mm to the length, and the mophie cases I've seen do just that. However if apple refuse to allow it, that's obviously a problem, but it's not a technical problem.
- zaarn 8y agoYou don't even need that, there are people who retrofit 3.5mm jacks into jack-less iPhones. Ie, the iPhones that were designed to be without audio jack still have enough space to accommodate a hub to switch the lightning port and a DAC for audio output AND a 3.5mm port.
