I imagine the only reason Apple finally gave the option of 256GB was to help ease the blow of having to use an adapter to be able to use analog technology. 
The reason for the jack removal has been stated to be able to be able to make the iPhone thinner (at most it would slim down the width of the jack, which would be 1/14 of an inch, yes that's right 1/14).
I don't need a thinner phone. Current models are  arguably too thin now, they're more difficult to hold, and they certainly flex and bend, even just enough to make the touch screen non-responsive. Of course we all know by removing the jack, the average person will buy more adapters, Bluetooth headphones, etc. 
I for one, will not be buying a 7, the 6 series does everything I need, it will save me from buying additional accessories, but mainly I flat out don't agree with the removal of the analog jack. 
My two cents (or $499).
