Water ingress isn’t the issue & there’s been waterproofed ports for decades. They wanted to make devices thinner—but what value is it when its too thin to support a jack & made of materials that now require a case?
Which is only likely to last one year anyways. After which, you can pay an exorbitant amount to replace the degrading glue. I’d just like my wired headphones back, the jack will last longer than a year at the very least.
People are going to try to make up reasons, all of them are an excuse to cover up the real reason which is copying apple and forcing people into Bluetooth to sell more expensive tech junk to people. The original and really only reason.
Just having one would be great. Thank you Apple (but why did so many Androids copy the removal?).
I believe it was for waterproofing. One less port means less sealing, making it easier to improve the waterproofing of the phone.

Well it gives companies a bit more space to work with.
