As an android user, AND someone that never uses the headphone jack, I just get to sit back and laugh.
BUT I am disappointed they didn't go further really. You want to get rid of ports to save space and have better water resistance? Get rid of the charging port while you're at it and make it waterproof. Make a version of wireless charging and push BT tech to the point that people with ported phones look like luddites. That's how you keep a premium product premium and give the Android folks something to chase after for a couple years. :dunno: Right now this is just an iPhone 6 without a headphone jack and a TWO EX zoom camera WOW. (if you're going to add another lens with static zoom, how about 4? 6?)
As yes, stop making the damn thing thinner. If it still needs a camera bump anyway and most people put a case on it to protect it and make it fatter, then fill that space with more battery and a little ruggedness instead.
This is all *if* the goal is to make a better phone. Which it's not. It's to sell more phones and accessories and cash out on the brand with as little R&D as possible.
