Stop trying to kill the headphone jack
Reasons I hate removal of the headphone jack on the iPhone:<p><pre><code>  1. Bluetooth headphones require extra charging.  I&#x27;m always looking around for somewhere to plug in my phone AND
  my bluetooth headphones.  And no, I don&#x27;t want to buy Apple&#x27;s easily-losable ear bud things.  Since the batteries
  may die on my bluetooth headphones, I always still have to carry around the original headphones that came with my
  iPhone, leading to extra cord&#x2F;dongle #1.
  2. Bluetooth headphones require a charging cord that isn&#x27;t the same as the one on my iPhone.  Extra cord&#x2F;dongle #2 to 
  take with me everywhere for the old-style 8mm adapter.
  3. My traveling Bose noise-canceling wired headphones require the carrying of extra cord&#x2F;dongle #3 to take with me 
  everywhere.
  4. Bluetooth headphones don&#x27;t interface in situations like that healthclub exercise bike I want to plug into.  Neither 
  do the standard iPhone headphones that come with the iPhone 7.  So I need to carry extra cord&#x2F;dongle #1 with me 
  everywhere, the old style 8mm ones off a previous phone.
  5. Bluetooth headphone batteries eventually stop working.  I was making due with going mostly wireless for about 2 
  months and then the headphones I bought stopped working.  Judging from Amazon reviews, people don&#x27;t get a lot of life 
  out of these little rechargeable devices - whereas normally the wired headphones I get with an iPhone last me 
  for the life of the phone.
  6. On the iPhone 7, at least, the headphones go into the combination charging&#x2F;headphone jack.  That means that I need 
  extra cord&#x2F;dongle #4 with me because of items #1 and #3 above, if I want to charge my phone and use headphones at
  the same time.

So that&#x27;s 4 extra cords&#x2F;dongles on top of the iphone charging cord and the need to have my Bose traveling headsets.<p>It&#x27;s a shit show.<p>[edit: tried to make formatting less hideous and to make a couple of items clearer... and because I miscounted]
