Some people wanted to believe that Apple's removal of the headphone jack was 'brave' instead of a complete crock of profit-seeking shit, to them I would say that you could buy an iDevice that makes calls and texts, or one with a headphone jack, but not one that could do both. There were two iDevices with headphone jacks left, iPod Touch and the iPad. (iPad Air and iPod Pro don't have them) Now there's just one left, and none that fit in a pocket. Once they discontinue the iPad, your only options will be flaky or nonworking dongles, special-buying wired devices with USB or lightning ports with predictably mediocre sound quality, or eye-wateringly expensive and delicate, and often unreliable, wireless devices. My last Apple hardware purchase was over five years ago.
