The fairphone and terracube are starting to take off. Being able to replace hardware was a staple in early cell phone design and hopefully will come back.

I wonder why nobody has made some sort of headphone Jack module already

Yeah... the old terracube has one and I loved it. Now I have a USB c to audio adapter and it sucks.
