I just don't think it is necessary for Apple to go down this road. It feels
like they are trying to create their own standard: Lightning port, no earphone
jack, the C port ... I think they could come unstuck!
I read Jonathan's blog and happen to agree with him.

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.
