Just out of curiosity, what's the payoff of having a slimmer, yet ultimately bigger phone?

I guess there's a cohort of iPhone users that never use the jack but in the early days at least it was a compelling feature for many. (remember all those proprietary connectors we had back in 200x?)

The idea here is maximizing both screen space and portability. Obviously contradictory goals but the headphone jack compromises one without helping the other.
