Interesting. The headphone jack would be my main reason for buying this thing.
Recently forgot my iPad on a trip, and couldn't listen to anything on the plane because my goddamned iPhone lacks a headphone jack. So offensively stupid.

Also, because I use my headphones on other devices with audio jacks, I lose those adapters all the time. Don't really like having a tail on my phone all the time. Vastly prefer having aux on my phones/tablets.
Nice option for (old) cars.
And now we've regressed to no aux inputs, no audio outputs, and nothing but shitty Bluetooth. But the '90s Pioneer head unit in my car has an input, as does my stock 2009 Ranger.
A. I didn't know I didn't have my iPad until I was on the plane. I carry it on all trips. And this shouldn't be an issue anyway.
B. They suck. My girlfriend has a Belkin one in her car that produces so much hiss that it is perceivable as, I'd say, 60% of the volume of the music we're listening to. And when the music fades out, it has some absurd AGC that pumps the hiss up to program level.
C. You can't power the device if the Lightning port is occupied by a dongle.
It's disgusting that consumers tolerate this BS and then make excuses for it.
That's more than normal phones could withstand.
