When I have heard about this in the past, they were, (are?), planning to use the lightning connector, some way or other, to connect the headphones. Hey, this way, they will be able to sell their own headphones, or, hopefully, adapters to make everybody else's headphones usable with the iPhone.

Hi Paula, it wouldn't hurt to let Apple know that you appreciate the headphone jack. YOu'd want to use some sort of general feedback mechanism, since this is a high level hardware decision and not accessibility-specific. Hopefully, they won't take it away. As I said in the article, even the best

Oh no! I sure hope that this is just a false rumor! I use the earphone jack on my iPhone daily. Guess it is a good thing that I have the iPhone 6, so upgrading my phone won't be for at least another almost 2 years. Maybe by this time, if this is true, Apple will have realized their mistake.

I didn't like the idea of the 3.5 mm headphone jack removal in the future iPhones if it were to be true. I was thinking, they may have some sort of lightning connector for the headphones, which means that Apple would probably sell a 3.5 mm to lightning connector adapter. Sounds like something
