Yeah the headphone jack being removed pissed me off too. However the lighting to 3.5mm adaptor isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Sure it was an extra £9 I wish I didn't have to spend, but was also a figure that I didn't lose any sleep over when ordering it.
The adaptor just lives on my headphones as I use a differnt pair at my desk. The only reservation about it now is "Will it fray like all other apple cables do with time?"
EDIT: Also had a 6s. Had 2 battery changes and the phone was due for a 3rd before recently just swapping the phone. First was done by Apple for free (excluding the cost of travelling to the Apple store and turning it into a shopping day :-P), the other I did myself at home with a 3rd party battery.
- DennisP 4y agoHolding onto my 6s as long as I can, because of the headphone jack. My headphones are kind of expensive. I also plug them into my laptop. If I'm putting an adapter on and off all the time I'll keep losing adapters, but I'd rather not buy a second pair of nice headphones.
- Crosseye_Jack 4y agoA silicone tether like the ones you can get for the cap on the Apple Pencil. Yeah another item you shouldn’t need. But it would keep the adapter tethered to the cable so you won’t lose it as you swap between phone and laptop.
- clairity 4y agoyah, headphone jack isn't a deal killer, but i do like having it. an adapter is ok but not great.
