Apple, and all the other phone companies on board with this, seem to have made the gamble that there's a whole bunch of other stuff people care about more than headphone jacks. And they seem to have been right. I don't miss my headphone jack - my phone still has one. If people really wanted headphone jacks, they'd buy phones with headphone jacks. But if you care more about the social stigma of having a blue bubble in iMessage or being seen with a previous-gen phone, I guess you're stuck with no choice but to complain.
