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.

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. Kawal.

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.
