Speaking of TANSTAAFL, what's your brilliant plan to fit the headphone jack into the phone body without raising the price of the phone?

Good chinese engineering seems enough: http://androidadvices.com/top-5-thinnest-designed-android-sm...

iPhone 7 is 7.1mm thick while the 7 Plus is 7.3mm thick.

And yes, aaaaaall of those have headphone jacks.

Apple is taking you people for fools.

I don't know about your phone, but mine has two other dimensions besides depth. How much internal volume do those take up?
