Given how many people use the headphones that come with the iPhone, which will now likely switch to Lightning, it won't really change for the majority of people. On top of that, more and more people use Bluetooth headphones anyway. And it is not like peoples other electrical appliances with head phones ports suddenly disappear anyway. So I think the amount of waste won't change much.

Don't throw goofy indefensible imaginings out about Apple.
Which is all you have now, or in the past.
Apple cranks out pieces of gear with planned limited life spans.
The junk they throw out has sealed in non replaceable batteries. That is guaranteed to make them toxic landfill long before they should have to be. When the battery won't hold a charge anymore an iPhone or iPad or iPod is junk.
My old five inch Dell Streak is still in use. An Apple product that had been used as much couldn't be (even if they had made large screen phones that long ago) because it's been used hard and it is on its third battery.
There is no defense for Apple.
No cause they can give to counters this.
No papers they can publish.
No foundation or cause the donate to counters this in any way.
You have to judge Apple by the actual gear they manufacturer and sell. Not by their PR image.
