    Manufacturers gave in, had nothing to do with Android.

    Android still supports expandable storage and headphone jacks just fine. I recently bought a Sony Xperia 5 V and it has both.

      There are lots of features that used to be common that just didn’t make the cut for one reason or another. I still have old phones with a radio tuner and programmable IR remote. Some features just took up too much space, some complicated the manufacturing process.

      Some of them still have enough of a market to justify for some manufacturers.
