Hi Derek
Given Apple sells headphones by the bucket load, I think this is a terrible
indictment on their part. It is change for the sake of it, just money to
keep the old gravy train rolling. What about those who use their phones on
the move, so need the same lightning port to charge their phones as well as
for using wired headphones? Bluetooth listening isn't the same, I always
prefer wired when I can get it. The best way people can show their
discontent is not to upgrade, but of course you know that won't happen. I'm
holding onto my iPhone 6 for as long as I can, it's getting very tedious
quite frankly, or perhaps I am just getting tired and cynical!!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Apple's latest iPhone is not wired for sound James Dean Technology
Correspondent The Times 9 August 2016
The new iPhone could be released as soon as next month - and shoppers might
have to pay for new headphones, it has been reported.
Apple's latest smartphone will rely on a wireless connection for listening
devices, according to Bloomberg News. Reports in January that Apple would
remove the headphone socket prompted a protest at enforced obsolescence.
A dual camera that takes sharper photographs in low light is expected to
feature on the larger of the two new iPhone models. Bloomberg said the
device would have a touch-sensitive central button and would come in the
same sizes as the iPhone 6 and larger iPhone 6 Plus. Apple declined to
comment.
More than 300,000 people signed a petition calling on Apple to keep the
phone's earphone jack, rather than "rip off every one of its customers"
by dropping it. Apple is likely to include Bluetooth earphones with the new
models, but some audiophiles will not be satisfied the sound quality.
