We've heard the same line when Apple ejected the 5.25" floppy, 3.5" floppy, Centronix parallel port, RS232 serial port, FireWire, and a whole bunch of other "universal demand" connectors. I really want to say this one is more awkward than others...but it's not. We've gone thru dongle & wireless solutions before, and came out better for it. Bluetooth headphone sales are about to exceed wired headphone sales. And Apple still sells the iPhone 6s & SE with 3.5mm jacks.
