Will you miss the headphone jack?

Well, not dunking them in water, because the 3.5 plug would short, most likely. But both Apple and Android are trying to make their phones more water resistant, and removing the 3.5 plug is a huge help with that.

I have an Xperia Z3, which has an exposed 3.5 plug, but is rated IP65/68 (freshwater, up to 1.5m, up to 30 minutes).

So it’s obviously not impossible to build a phone with a 3.5 jack that won’t short when dunked in water.
