When Apple announced the removal of the headphone jack, my initial guess was that it wouldn't really affect me all that much. There are only 3 times that I use the headphone jack on my phone: while driving (I use a cassette player adapter), while exercising, and on the airplane. Obviously, I'm not going to be charging my phone while exercising, so that use case doesn't really matter. As for when I'm driving, I ended up buying a small bluetooth receiver to plug my cassette player adapter into, so now I can just connect to that wirelessly, and continue to charge my phone (if needed). I'm fortunate enough to live less than 5 miles from work, so charging while driving during the week isn't really necessary for me. However, it's definitely nice being able to charge on weekends if I'm driving farther distances. On the plane, I think there are enough entertainment options (in-seat entertainment, iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Switch, etc.) that I don't foresee running into a situation where I haven't been able to charge my phone because I've been listening to it non-stop. I just traveled from LA to Milan and back last week, and I think the lowest my phone's charge got to on the plane was ~50%. So, for me, I don't miss the headphone jack. BUT, with that said, I think it definitely helps that I have a 7 Plus, just because of the larger battery. Before this, I had a 6 (not Plus), and near the end of it's life, the battery was absolutely atrocious. I think that's now my largest concern (although maybe not as much with the Plus) with the lack of headphone jack.
