If this were their goal removing the headphone jack is the last thing I'd expect they'd look towards. For starters there's the packaging itself which is way larger than the couple millimeters they could maybe shave off the phone itself.

isn't the packaging added later?

I think they're packaged in China and shipped whole from there to the US/destination.
