If a phone only has one USB-type C connector on it, how will you both charge and listen to music with your headphones with it? Is there going to be two connectors, one at the top and one at the bottom?

Some type of chaining adaptor makes more sense.

  And given that usb-to-3.5mm adapters already exist, I assume that if this happened, the appropriate adapter would appear on the market fairly quickly, so you could keep using your old headphones.

    So now I have this ultra thin cable going to the phone in my pocket, but next it will have to be a whole USB adapter - I'm really not looking forward to that. At the same time - sure, Intel should go ahead and implement this. But phones should just have both USB and 3.5" connectors.

A small USB type c hub, powered from the thing it's connected to. May be as small as a cable inter-connect 3 type c sockets, 1 for the phone, and one each for whatever you want to connect to. You could daisy chain these or have hubs that offer 1 in and 6 out, etc.

  One that passes analogue audio through? Or one that has a built-in DAC?

  If I'm on an airplane listening to music/watching a movie on my device, the last thing I want is another dongle to keep track of.

Two connectors would be great but I can see more phones supporting wireless charging. I love it on the S6.

  But you can't exactly use that on a plane or a train.
