I know it's impossible, but I legit hope the microphone jack comes back... Not looking forward to handing my 7's over to my kids to use as iPods and having to deal with stupid dongles. I may have them just keep their 6's.

Having had a 7 for a year now, I honestly didn’t take any notice. The new connector is better when running that’s the only difference I ever really noticed. Though I have never charged my phone while listening to music, even before. I charge it while I sleep.

  The unobtrusive/high-quality headphones I prefer don't support them.

    What is it that your headphones don't support?

      Phones with lightning connector.

    Not to support or stand over business practices I disagree with, but surprisingly the little £9 Lightning DAC/amp they ship with the phone/sell is rather good. I've run plenty of higher end headphones and IEMs from it without complaint.

Buy these straight from Apple: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMTN2AM/A/earpods-with-lightning-connector https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMTN2AM/A/earpods-with-li... Or superglue the dongle onto the headphones cable. Problem solved. :) On a lighter note, it really fascinates me how many people share your view - clearly, Apple is not doing a good job of communicating this stuff. And I only know about it because I found out from a friend...who probably heard about it from another friend.

  My wife has a 6S and a handful of cheap earbuds that she misplaces all the time but also uses every day. Also her ears are too small for standard Apple earbuds to fit comfortably. I can only imagine the frustration of including expensive dongles in the mix too.

  Just get AirPods. Worth every penny. Best purchase this year.

Imagine all the Android manufacturers rushing to add back headphone jacks (except Samsung) if Apple were to pull such a trick! I have a Samsung S7 and I'm super happy that it has a headphone jack -- although I have a few Bluetooth headphones needing to plug in comes up from time to time especially with kids.

No need for the headphone jack back, its too deep and too hard to waterproof. I just want an iPhone with USB Type-C, so that I can share the same headphones on my laptop and my phone. Until then, I will stick with my iPhone 6S.
