Motorola ditches headphone jacks before Apple with the Moto Z

Motorola is making its unique mark on the smartphone market with the Moto Z and Moto Z Force, which will be available in the U.S. this summer and globally in September. The new phones were announced at Lenovo's Tech World conference Thursday.

Notably, Motorola has beaten Apple to the punch in ditching the headphone jack. It's also taking a cue from competing phones like the LG G5, which lets users add specific abilities to their phones with parts they can swap out, including a projector in the case of the Moto Z.
