Everyone lamenting the loss of the headphone jack reminds me of the same people lamenting the loss of the CD-ROM drive in the MacBooks.
The headphone jack is a legacy, bulky port. I would not be surprised to see a port-less phone in the next few years.
Apple has a really good track record of dropping things at the right time: floppy, CD-ROM, Flash, etc.
At each of those steps there were people decrying the loss of these things. Today however, most people don’t miss any of them. They made the right choice then and I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt now.
