#2Is there any major downside to the 3.5mm jack? Especially that hold a candle to the cheapness of them and how widespread they are?

#3I say let them do it and let the market sort out if it cares. Maybe people do want thin more than headphones.

#5But it'll stick with Lightning port, instead of adopting usb type C, the article suggests. That's disappointing. I wonder if ever the iphone will switch to usb type c -- every other phone will later this year.

And the interoperability. You don't need an "iphone" set of ear buds or headphones. So other than "aesthetics" by that meaning "different" I dont see much benefit and lots of usability downside.

For Apple it is probably just a space / size issue. It is probably one of the biggest things limiting them from making the phone thinner.

Apple would probably piss more people off than they would make happy. The amount of lightning port gear out there has to be huge. People flipped when they went from the 30-pin to lightning just a few years ago.

#10Because the number 1 things users say when asked what they'd change about their phone: "I wish it was thinner"
