Well, we disagree...
But that's all the more reason to get that competing phone and be happy Sanyo/Samsung/Acer/Etc will have your back for the next 100 years of analog phone jack bliss.
Got a tip for us?

Huh? Why would you need to get another pair of Bluetooth headphones?
Use the headphones you have. You don't need to BUY the adapter because it's included FREE with the phone. It's essentially a 2" cable. I suspect you'll have no trouble accommodating this:
That's actually fine, I don't mind it as a solution.
My issue the 6S has a quality DAC built in, what quality do you think is inside a $9 adapter, given apples profit margin.
I'm going to get one to test with the 6S, but my assumption it's cheap and crap, and using quality headphones, the 6S using the same media, sounds superior, and that is the problem. The 6S out of the box, has superior audio.
this may be new to some people but the phone does come with speakers built in. heck they even added a second speaker on this model. you can listen and charge till your little heart is content that way.
Solutions to no more headphone port :
Don't buy the iPhone 7
Use the adapter that's FREE
Go buy a 30 dollar car deck that has a USB port and welcome yourself to 2016
Please stop bitching

Yeah one shouldn't have to sacrifice the 3.5mm jack to get new features(camera, taptic home button, etc...). This reeks of when Apple tried to shove a 1-button mouse down our throats.
i got one of those bluetooth-clips from sony (mw600 - btw. it sounds just as good/bad as any $150 bluetooth-headphones) - guess what: you can't charge and use it at the same time.
Hard to believe you can't accommodate that tiny bit of extra volume. What you're saying is you can't pull an extra 2" of existing headphone cable out of your belt?
I guess if your current headphones had a cable that happened to be 2" longer you'd be hosed.
It's actually a great solution. Tiny, works well, and included for FREE with every phone. Extras are $9.
Yeah and how does that work for listening to audio at work or the gym?

No it's not the length of the cable, it's the adapter thing. Much larger than an audio jack. Like several times larger.
iPhones have traditionally had good DACs, yes I admit I am assuming, and that is based on the adapter costing $9, that is not a good DAC.
I will be buying one though to test on the 6S side by side, using some good headphones .
We understand what you're getting at. Thanks.I wasn't a million miles away (allowing for my lack of artistic impression) this afternoon
ps dont laugh!
By "solution" I assume you mean we treat iPhones like old WinXP machines and just drag out the inevitable because some people just need to be either cheap or expect the world to accommodate them forever.
really - who still uses optical media?
(just pulling your leg - i'm working in video production, and i get the occasional 60+ years client who wants a dvd - never a bluray - so i borrow my neighbours external bluray-burner on occasion)
Ah the two headed snake shipped in an Apple box.Huh? Why would you need to get another pair of Bluetooth headphones?
Use the headphones you have. You don't need to BUY the adapter because it's included FREE with the phone. It's essentially a 2" cable. I suspect you'll have no trouble accommodating this in your belt:
Allow me to note that Apple is still selling the 6S if you want a phone with a headphone jack. They even lowered the price, and didn't gimp the capacity like they have in the past to existing models when a new phone comes out.
If that is the case then I suspect you haven't heard "good audio" before.
There are all kinds of "just in case" scenarios we could whine about. So let me get this straight, if I want to charge my iPhone on the go I have to bring a lightning cable and a USB charger? Yes you "have to carry around an adaptor" for something very few people do now and will do in the future. Let the tears flow!
I actually use the phone speakers all day long at work.
the gym your not going to be charging your phone anyways so it doesn't matter.
No. What Phil want for us is to buy one adapter for home, one for work, and one for car.
Holy crap, the sheer energy of fanboys trying to justify this is amazing.
It's a cable. You can make it smaller. Fold it back on itself, make a right angle, whatever. Don't give up. Ask a grade school kid down the block for help. Most humans are good at problem solving. Jeeezzz...
Really sounds like you are just looking for ways to not have a solution.
They didn't add any additional speakers but reused the existing call speaker. Only issue is the sound is unbalanced since bottom speaker is side firing while call speaker is front firing.
