If you think about it, the headphone jack is mechanical and therefore a point of failure, making it external isn't a horrible idea

If the adapter is damaged, you get a new adapter. If the phone's headphone jack gets damaged, you need a new phone.

Are you guys seriously going to argue that physical connectors are not mechanical devices?

They have springs and shit to keep the male connector secured, they are very clearly mechanical

>>56484836
the lightning connector is easier to disconnect than a headphone, they're frankly more robust
