Chat GPT makes up everything it says. It’s just good at guessing and bullshitting. These are excuses, not reasons. There used to be waterproof phones with headphone jacks. Phones have become bigger since the headphone jack disappeared as well. So space isn’t really the reason.
I have a FP3 with a jack, for reference. It doesn’t have an IP rating. FP4 has IP54, FP5/6 both have IP55.
Also yes, phones have become bigger, but they have more stuff inside. More cameras, for example.
I mean, the jack is literally a hole in the chassis of the phone, while I cannot exclude the fact that someone managed to make a design with good IP rating, I can very easily see that it makes it much harder.
