    I understand why manufacturers did it; it bought them a bit more space.

    I don’t. New phones are huge while older, much smaller ones somehow found room for the analog audio jack.

      Yeah, its absolutely not a space problem. The Samsung S10e has a headphone jack, a SD card slot, and has a 5.8" display. Its way smaller than the vast majority of phones today, yet it has all of these features.

      I think we all know the reason apple removed it was because they can sell you the worse product for more.
