I can accept a headphone jack is a premium thing, I can live without it, but it's another straw, along with the downgrade in size and cosmetics.

Framing the headphone jack as a "premium" feature may not match the views of others, and should not be considered an assumption to be taken for granted.

Headphone jacks are not necessarily considered a premium feature by all phone users.

They are by some, as is evident, but that view cannot be taken for granted — even here at HN.

Neither is a large screen, indeed I consider large portable electronics to be decidedly non-premium.

A premium feature is something I'm willing to spend money on - a phone the physical dimentions of a traditional SE, with a 3.5mm jack, dual sim cards, a modern processor, and a decent amount of storage.

Others may have other views on what premium is.
