No, they didn't. If you're smugly referring to the POS Lightning connector, you ignore the fact that this precludes listening while charging. Look at the absurd dongle you've linked to. The headphone jack and the Lightning port co-existed for years, allowing everyone to exercise his preference for output device. Removing the headphone jack is indefensible from a customer perspective. Get over it, and stop shilling for a move that insulted consumers and paved the way for widespread rip-offs throughout the industry.
