I've just about convinced myself that the headphone jack is getting nixed not because it's time for you to buy bluetooth headphones but because a waterproof headphone jack is a lot harder than a waterproof USB-C jack. Stick with just the one hole and you can make the phone water resistant a lot more easily. Never mind the fact that the space taken up by the headphone jack is a substantial portion of the interior volume. Added bonus? Now that your headphones are on a data port, rather than four stupid contacts, it's sooper-easy to only allow "authorized" headphones to work.
