You can still buy phones with a headphone jack. It's just that most people buy the one without because most people have a wireless headset they use with the phone.

It's SUPER simple: if something new comes along and sells, it will become the standard. If it doesn't sell, it won't.

Removing the headphone jack allowed manufacturers to make phones thinner/lighter/cheaper/whatever and people didn't vote against it, therefore it stays.
