Instead of removing the headphone sockets on smartphones, why not just switch to the much compact 2.5mm standard?
Why is my Samsung flip phone from 2005 capable of having a physical headphone socket, but the feature is suddenly too much to ask for in a 2019 smartphone?

No phone on the market is currently thinner than a headphone jack. It was a worthless move.

You honestly think it's because of the jack size they're removing it?
Blue pilled cuck.

It’s also waterproofing it, as well as providing room for it on the motherboard.

removing the headphone jack is 100 % about closing the analog hole and has nothing to do with size or waterproofing.

2.5mm is not durable enough for normalfag usage. Also if you're going to switch standards might as well go USB-C then. I still use a DAP i don't mind.
