I would advise having nothing to do with this. You are overlooking an obvious benefit; and it's not just more money for Apple: rather it's this. The plain fact is that it's better to lose the headphone jack because you can get much better audio out of the lightning connecter than you can out of the 3.5MM jack. With the use of the lightning connecter, you can take advantage of the high resolution audio format which Apple is said to be roling out soon. Also, there are other advantages besides. Don't fall for this emotional knee-jerk nonsense.
