No and that was some tin foil stuff from people trying to rationalize it

I had Bluetooth headphones since the iPhone 6 and so did a lot of people

Removal of headphones was done for waterproofing.

If you want to use regular headphones you can get an adapter for like $10

It's really not a big deal at all.

Well.... maybe not. Other flagship phones have added a headphone jack and still gotten the IP water resistant certification. So Apples reasons for removing it dont really hold up now.

Like everything else, it's a cost cutting measure marketed as a "feature" or improvement. Less is always more in the eyes of corporations.

I remember the Ericsson R310s released 19 years ago.
It was waterproof as well, better than IP68.

my theory was that they did it to promote sales of their Beats headphones since Apple acquired that company like a year or two before axing the headphone jack

Why is this considered a conspiracy? Of course they did lmao. Or at least it was definitely taken into consideration while deciding on whether or not they should remove it.

People want features like multiple cameras, wireless charging, nfc, big battery life, face id, etc while keeping the phone slim and bezel less. Apple can only put so much in a small space that something has to go.
