    These points were all disproved long ago. The jack is a the same thickness as the display.

    The reason is because BT headphones have a much higher margin, and need to be replaced every few years because of the battery (if not already replaced because they were lost or damaged).

    It’s just a dumb cash grab.

      This would make sense if the only Bluetooth headphones that worked with the phone were made by the same company, but alas, that’s not how it works.

      The reason they don’t have a headphone jack anymore is because it’s easier to make without it, saves money, has a built in replacement in BT, and people overwhelmingly love BT headphones due to being wireless.
