Manufacturers always follow industry trends even when people are vocal about disagreeing, but I think those complaining about the headphone jack are the vocal minority because the majority of people probably just use bluetooth. It makes sense that Sony would do this though because all reviews of the XZ Premium complained about how Sony is 'behind' and the phone is 'dated' and bla bla bla, but then an image leaks of a Sony phone that follows the trends and gets rid of bezels and headphones jack and everyone starts whining about it.
