Don't see them putting it back anytime soon, and I am ok with that.

Still no need for it. Bluetooth or phone listening locally. I have never once to this day, said I wish I had it.....

Lol the thread asked the question and I answered

I know!!!!! I thought the same thing.

 

[qbnkelt]

So in one year, I was inconvenienced once.
I use a BT at work for my teleconferences. Since my work phone was an iPhone 6 up until last week, I never carried the headphones because I don't keep music or media in my work device, it's strictly work.
So I forgot to put my BT back on the cradle to charge and when I got back to the office the following week (I only go into the office once a week) the BT was dead and I had no headphones I could use with the iPhone 6.
So, I used my personal phone for the first teleconference while the BT charged and I got on with life.
I mean.....can you IMAGINE being able to find a solution to such a minuscule problem on my own?????

You mean you DIDN’T just throw a fit and swear to never buy another Apple device???

I’m in the same boat. I’ve had maybe one or two instances over the last year where I was inconvenienced. I have an AUX cable attached to my workstation in my office that I use for streaming music every once in a while and I forgot my adapter one time. The next time I was at the Apple Store I picked up a few extra adapters and just keep one permanently attached to my AUX cable. Every once in a while I’ll find a colleague trying to charge his/her iPhone with it. It’s cute.

Nope. It doesn't bother me at all not having a headphone jack. I actually haven't used a hard/wire connection in years. the earbuds that came with my last two iPhones are still sitting in their box brand new. I gave the other two pair that was laying around away. I do miss them as a backup tho. My AirPods and QC 35's fill the gap nicely.

 

[ksassy]

I don't miss it at all. Knowing this I still bought the iPhone anyway even though my prior phone had one. I haven't been inconvenienced yet. Bluetooth all the way for me!!

I know, amazing huh???

I stopped using those little cables because they were a pain to use in the gym. And I would nearly bang myself with my bag and my computer bag and my coffee etc. Especially in winter. So I got a nice set that doesn't interfere with what I'm doing.

Honestly, no biggie.

I only miss the headphone jack when I'm going to sleep. I have a pillow with built in speaker that I can no longer use. I now use a Bluetooth speaker under my pillow. Not ideal because I often forget to charge it.

Why can’t you use the lightning to headphone jack adapter that came with your iPhone?

I charge my phone while I sleep and I have tried four different adapters( two were "made for iPhone") to charge and listen but they all stopped working after a few uses.

Ohhh I didn’t think about that. Makes sense now!

WOW, how cool is that, I've never even thought about something like that. Now I'm going to start my search for a Pillow with Bluetooth speaker inside. Thanks for the AWESOME idea.

It sounds pretty cool tbh. However I can see if being used as a prank.

I’ve seen things like that done in college with cheap walkie talkies but using a Bluetooth speaker in a pillow would top everything!
