It was a piece of plastic... You really believe that much teeth pulling surrounding the removal of a jack was the rational alternative to a less accurate altimeter?

No. They clearly had reasons to remove the headphone jack. I'm only addressing the mistaken assumption that there was just "extra" space left in the phone. If you're removing the altimeter/barometer conduit, you're essentially removing the capability for the altimeter/barometer to remove air and balance pressure. Since the original phone was waterproof, this was a necessary piece.
The "new phone" no longer has a working altimeter, is not waterproof, and has major structural issues now. Anyone saying that there was just extra space there is being ignorant of the facts shown or is being intentionally disingenuous for some reason.
Seriously... he shows the pieces he had to remove in order to get this working and he compromised the water-proofing of the phone. How is that, in any way, an equivalence to "void" or "empty space"?
