*sniggers at Steve!
I personally would prefer to plug my 3.5mm into a connector that then plugs
into a nice little snug lightening port. I’ve had so many 3.5mm jacks break,
they are just too clumsy now and take up too much internal space. Ditching it
could enhance water resistance.
I would feel a little more comfortable if Apple opened up the lightening
standard so it could be used on other types of devices to create a new
headphone standard. The lightening plug is much nicer than 3.5mm
Let’s just hold back until Apple officially announce something and give us the
reasons for their decision.
How funny would it be though if they had just simply decided to secretly move
the jack back to the top of the phone!

Hi,
Jonathan Mosen wrote an interesting blog article, but I can't find it now.
What about people who use the headphone jack in conjunction with hearing aids?
I think this is a bad move on Apple's part and I'm glad we have more
diversity in Android. If you rely on just one manufacturer, you will always
get this kind of problem.
All the best
Steve

Hi. I can’t see how it’s ripping off their customer base. If people don’t
like it then there is always Android or purchase a good quality wireless
headset for around £25 and you still will get good quality stereo sound. I
always found that I’m for ever replacing wired headsets after a few months
because one of the earphones stop working.

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.
