The only difference is on the bottom left they replaced the headphone hole with 6 speaker grill holes. Not sure why that's sleeker. https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/apple-l...

Because it's more symmetrical.

That's hogwash--no one cares about that. If anything, the move was done to expand room within the internals of the phone.

Yup. They did it to fit in the haptic feedback for the the new home button. I don't see how a 3.5mm jack would have fit after they put that in there.

I'd rather the jack, however.

A Moto X has the same symmetry, and manages to keep both a 3.5mm port and a USB port on it.

How can it be symmetrical with a 3.5mm port? Does it have two of them?

You should look up what symmetry means.
