No actually any iPhone with a headphone jack continued to have a functioning headphone jack. And competitors marketed their phones with headphone jacks for a year and ended up also abandoning that feature.

It's not feasible to use an old iPhone forever, I tried. If the required app updates don't get you, the carrier will. The big competitors like Samsung removed the jack too once they started selling their own wireless earbuds. They realized they could use Apple's strategy too.

  Basically every smartphone vendor removed the headphone jack. So you’re saying Apple is a monopoly because they have good ideas everyone else copies?

    The others who did this are also trying to fleece their users. There are loyal Samsung users too, don't ask me why.

    No? Who said that? Wrong on every count, especially the word "good" to refer to removing the headphone jack.
