Would a thinner, aux jack-less iPhone be a dealbreaker?

all my headphones are 3.5mm, so they'd better include an adapter if the socket gets removed!

If they make it thinner, it better have higher torsional rigidity...

I don't want to have to deal with any more bending issues.

Do not want or need a thinner phone

It's not a deal breaker for me. However it would be a disappointment. I think they are getting rid of it prematurely.

Apple will come up with headphones that work using Bluetooth and charge using a lightning adapter and can be used like wired headphones when charging. It only makes sense with everything else they've been doing.

Originally I said this would be a deal breaker for me, but I'm slowly coming around. It's going to be unfortunate for the EarPods, Bose and Beats headphones I own. But especially when it comes to working out, I would be all for wireless headphones.

Not a problem for me, as I'm waiting for these to be produced: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/aero-digital-earphone-upgrade-to-hifi-music-now

I wish I could like this one hundred times! Stop with the thinness!! Improve battery life and shrink bezels, please! If they do those two things, I can guarantee I'll be up at the crack of dawn preordering. I hope they'll eventually replace the home button with 3D Touch. That's be awesome!

Think it's too early to abandon headphones, or would this be a welcome change for you?

yes for some. no for others

I like my headphones and while I use both wired and wireless, I prefer the simplicity of a headphone jack.

For now, it would be a deal breaker. But honestly, keeping the 6/6s curved design is more of one. A better design might win me over, but thinner with less connectivity is something I'm not interested in at all. I'll stick with the SE for a couple years if that's the case.

Doesn't bother me. I use Bluetooth headphones mostly... Or Bluetooth /USB streaming in car

If they included an adapter, then I would be less upset, but I doubt the Lightning port is as sturdy as the 3.5 mm audio jack, and that's what I'd miss. It ain't broke, so unless they use that additional space to make the battery larger, I'd pass.

And if they're doing it to make the phone even thinner, while keeping the battery the same, then f- them. Phones are so thin nowadays that I feel a phone case is a necessity now, not a option.
