And now you’re ahead of me: Apple would be in its familiar position of being able to take something away (the jack) by giving something more (high res audio). Apple loves this tactic. A focus on FireWire allowed it to dump the floppy disk.
But why would Apple want to abandon the headphone jack? After all, as a variation of the original phono connector which has been around since 1878, it is the oldest common technology standard still in use today. The answer is simple: practicality and profit.
On the practical side, Apple would be able to do away with the largest and deepest connector.
Stay at home... we are at home.
