I suspect you're right that the headphone jack is gone for good, but
it's definitely true if anyone who misses the headphone jack doesn't let
Apple know how much they miss it. There's also no reason Apple couldn't
put the headphone jack back in a future device, although like I said, I
would doubt it.
I'm also not sure how much of my regret over missing the headphone jack
is because I'm blind. I suppose I use my headphones more than my sighted
peers because I'll tend to grab them every time I just want to check the
lock screen, but I don't think it's just blind users who'll be wishing
their new phone had a headphone jack on it that they've taken for
granted on all of their electronics for years.
It also sounds like you're saying we, especially as blind consumers,
shouldn't criticize Apple for a decision they made. I'm curious, are you
just talking about Apple or all companies? Are you just talking about
blind consumers or all consumers? For how much Apple wants me to pay to
get an iPhone 7, I think I'm allowed to criticize a decision Apple made.
I for one don't think Apple is perfect, and I'm not just going to assume
that they'll never make a mistake and they always know what's best for
me. This isn't a knock on Apple, but just those who think we should just
be thankful for whatever Apple decides we as consumers and blind
consumers should be happy with.

Apple made that decision years ago and every blind user in the world wasn't
going to alter that decision. Charging while listening isn't a big deal for me
but I'm retired and don't use my phone all that much for calling anyway. If I
need power sooner, I'll buy the Belcan thingie.

It would be cool if iPhone SE with 3.5mm beats iPhone 7, 7+ hard on the sales
figures. Don’t think so, but …… Camera is too important for sighted people.
Take care

You know, if enough people forego the iPhone 7, maybe the 8 will go back to the
old plug.

You figured that something like this was eventually going to come out by a
mainstream company or via a kickstarter campaign.
Off putting though that you have to shell out an extra $40.00 for
something that’s not even really a mobile solution. Curious to see what kind of
battery pack designs these same companies are going to come up with for those
of us who may want or need that extra backup. There goes another $40.00 or
$80.00 or whatever on top of everything else. That and what type of solution
they’re going to come up with for all the credit card swipers that are so
ubiquitous Appel was actually getting credit yesterday for only selling the
replacement dongles for $9.00, but I guess this shows they’re going to get
their pound of flesh one way or another.
Those dongles are probably viewed as a lost leader anyway.

Hi all, I really wish Apple had shipped this kind of product in the box, but
for those who want to upgrade and had legitimate concerns about the lack of
ability to use wired headphones and charge, here's the solution.
