what phone are you switching to now that they removed the 3.5mm headphone jack?

Never been an iPhone user, and last night any chance of me becoming one dropped completely. Looking at LG V20, great audio quality without compromising parts, thank you LG. 
Well probably not. The only way it would is if iPhone sales fell off the face of the earth and they had no choice but to do a back track but I don't see that happening either.
That poll was merged with one made after the announcement. What do you consider bad sales numbers? 5% below expectations? 10%?
Sticking with my SE until it dies and that will be it for me and IOS devices unless they reintroduce the 3.5 mm jack.
I don't see the big deal about the earphone jack. They give you a pair that plug into the lightning port and an adapter that lets you use any other earbuds you have lying around. If you actually have to be charging while you use them there's an adapter for that. I never use it that way so will probably never need that adapter.
I have a 6s and HTC 10. Have had a 5 and S4, 5s and M8. Always liked having an iPhone and Android duo. But this time I want to see how long my 6s lasts. I've unimpressed with Apple lately. They're products aren't bad but I feel don't compare that well with newer Android phones. My HTC is good. Has many features, runs well, and has a 3.5mm jack, something I use a lot. I love the EarPods, possibly my favourite "budget" earphones, so I use them on all my devices. I liked the waterproofing of the Samsungs and cameras of the Huawei P9, but I think the HTC 10 is a better all rounder. Doesn't really excel in any department (other than audio), but it's a very good all rounder. Also, it supports AirPlay, something I love! And it has an easily unlockable boot loader that is covered under warranty! The system, when stock is a bit annoying, has some missing features available in stock Android, but I can modify it and add them in relatively easily Having said that, I feel my 6s is a great phone. Would have considered a 7 but no headphone jack is a deal breaker hahaha

Never will happen. Getting rid of the 3.5 slot is different than a SDCARD which really is needed on the Samsung phones since they never gave them the space at that time. 3.5 there are other options available and wireless is the way its going. Just like how floppys and CDROMs retired. Like Music CDs are basically gone now all mp3 players.
Old cellphones sucked when the headset adapter was proprietary and the smartphone era had fixed this.
You must have lost your mind if you even remotely think Apple will bring the headphone jack back next year; it's gone for good. Get with the times: wireless is taken over...enough with all these cords.
They never will go back to a headphone jack, they sold out of the iPhone 7 plus and are limited on the regular 7 so sales aren't down, and even Samsung is thinking about taking the headphone jack way on the galaxy s8. So before long there won't be no hp jack on any phone.
initial sales from fanboys and Apple lovers aren't telling of actual sales . Time will tell

Many iPhones users will be forced to go wireless or forced to keep paying Apple $9 every couple of months, cause the headphone adapter feels like a cheap pos.
Estimated 14m sales opening weekend for the 7. They're not lacking for people buying the phone.

That type of response is why people shouldn't take this thread seriously.
If you didn't take my post seriously why reply then? I am 100% serious early fanboy sales aren't telling of anything.
