Unless there are inexpensive adapters (and $50 is not inexpensive to me) that provide excellent audio quality and don't require frequent charging, this will most likely have me switch from my iphone to an android phone on my next upgrade. It doesn't look like a bluetooth adapter would work for me (too frequent charging). I would need at least 2 adapters.
I hope Apple provides at least a couple more generations of iphones with stereo jacks. |

Tweaking apple users aside if they are smart they should provide a converter with the a new phone for free. Btw do you really need to upgrade with no phone contracts being common now and the last generation of phones including iphones are good enough. You could probably save $30 a month from your cellphone bill. |

I will keep my IPhone until it can no longer be upgraded, then I will decide if I need the upgrades that a new IPhone will offer me.

I wonder if they've considered what would happen if the manufacturers simply did not support the move away from the 3.5mm connector, one supported by everyone else. I don't know the specific numbers but I doubt that Apple has the majority of devices that use a headphone-type jack considering that it is more than just phones (I made a quick estimate and I think I have at least a dozen items that have a 3.5mm headphone jack).

Wouldn't matter, Apple would be fine if iPhone owners had no choice but Apple accessories, and lots of owner would seem to be fine with that too.

I wouldn't buy another iPad if they did away with the 3.5mm headphone jack, it would Would be too much of a PITA carrying another adaptor or set of headphones.

The only Apple product I'm currently using is an iPod Classic. The only reason I purchased it is because of its large capacity (160gb), larger than any other player available at the time. However, since then the capacity of some flash players (like my Sony NWZ-A17 Walkman which can reach 192gb of capacity with a memory card) have exceeded the capacity of the iPod Classic.
