Yes, the 3.5 m jack would go bye bye.  You'd have to get new headphones, if 
this wind up being true which would have a lightning plug on the end, like your 
charger, instead of the rounded 3.5M plug.

  Subject: Re: Apple's headphone scam


  Please could someone tell me how headphones could fit in a lightening 
adaptor?  You mean there would be a different kind of thing to put in a socket?


  I don’t understand this headphone lightening connector thing.  When I sell my 
I phones, I normally sell the headphones as well if they are still working by 
then.

    I’m afraid I just can’t quite bring myself to be sufficiently moved.  I 
don’t like planned obsolescence or proprietary standards either, but I’m also 
in the market for a new pair of travel headphones, and I actually would love a 
digital path between my iPhone and my headset.  I was not among those poor 
souls hurt by the 30-pin to Lightning transition, because I was not quite so 
silly as to buy expensive equipment with that connector.  And, yes, electronic 
waste is a terrible, terrible thing, but I doubt Apple will fail to provide a 
transition for users of the 3.5-mm plug.  I know it’s painful, but we do need 
to move forward.
