This is exactly it. I need a horse, it can be slightly faster, not required though. There is no horse vs car improvement between iPhone 6s vs iPhone 11, but they removed jack and increased price for no good reason. Btw. I do not think that there can be a horse vs car bump in UX for phones. Maybe I am my imagination is limited. :)

Maybe it is not a car from a horse, but it certainly is a motorcycle in terms of UX improvements.

FaceID, swipe interactions over a button and IMO the removed chin makes it all into a big user experience jump.

Not sure how many favor swipe interactions over having a button.

I'd guess a lot who have gotten used to it (as in - not used it to try out).

Can you even fast-switch between applications on a buttoned iPhone? It's probably my number one used interaction on the phone.

Yes, non of those matter to me. Jack port does.
