[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 441097, member: 15110"] Apple addressed this question over at [URL="http://iphone.macworld.com/2007/07/jack_not_name_jack_job.php"]MacWorld:[/URL] So basically they didn't want to screw up the design by adding a headphone jack that would actually fit most headphones. Jason Snell goes on to say "that if they had wanted the jack to not be recessed, the phone would have had to be thicker at that point, and they weren’t willing to compromise the shape — specifically the thinness — of the design." Aka, oops - first-gen design problem. Or perhaps a clever marketing ploy designed to quickly gain $10 and $20 headset adapter purchases from customers? ;) [/QUOTE]
