Not sure why you are yelling at me. I didn't respond to your tin foil hat nonsense. But fwiw, Australia has higher skin cancer rates because we are near the hole in the ozone layer. You know, the actual dangerous radiation.
I mean he got 4 and a lot of laughs.I want to know why the OP got so many likes!
I believe audiophiles are fine with the jack removal since they connect a $5500 DAC and $8000 headphone amp to the lightning connector anyhow. (To which they connect their $23000 headphones with a $69000 gold-plated uni-directional cable.)
And I want floppy drives back too!

Already have, I'll stick with my small screen SE1- which might still get replaced by by another 4Sand my 2013 MBp.
Apple hasn't released a single thing in nearly a decade that I want, trouble is creepy Windows and creepier Android suck more.
I used to wait for the each new Apple release but now I just laugh at the crap - keyboards that don't work, every single iOS, Mac OS release is garbage until .3, some are still crap now - so I stay on El Cap
I would imagine because in Australia people prepare for the sun because its obviously sunny. But, in the UK for example you may leave the house when its cloudy then the weather brightens up and you get sun burn, hence the higher rates of skin cancer in those sorts of countries. Same reason more people die of the cold weather in the UK than in much colder parts of the world...
Lightning to 3.5mm jack works great. OP's idea may be fail, but wired audio still is vastly superior to bluetooth. If your cellphone voice/audio is mission critical, a quality wired headset is the way to go and blows any bluetooth setup out of the water. Our business tested it extensively, wired headsets were a must.
Sure, but now you’re using/carryingtwo devices.
Cellular in an iPad is about more than GPS. That’s minor.
There simply is not wi-fi everywhere, period. And where it is available, do you really trust it? No thanks, I’ll use data.
Hell will freeze over and apes will rule the government (some might say they already do 
) before Apple bring the 3.5mm jack back.
Speaking as someone who uses a good mix of wireless and wired cans, I can’t say as I’ve missed it to be completely honest.
The wired cans I most often use with the iPhone have a High-Res Lightning DAC attached to them nigh on permanently.
It really doesn’t hinder my use at all, and it gives me better sound quality (subjectively, your ears will differ) than either the normal Lightning, or the built-in 3.5mm jack ever did.
As for boycotting Apple over a lost cause? Not blinking likely, why would I curse myself by missing out on every other advancement made with the iPhone since last we seen a 3.5mm jack.
Indeed, if the sales figures over the past few years are anything to go by, not to mention general industry adoption of no 3.5mm jack, few people care that much about its demise.
Over the past couple of decades, I’ve grown used to Apple removing, what they consider, old and outdated features. Floppies, CD/DVD drives, more ports than I can remember. And y’know what, I end up not missing them at all. For the ones I still want, however occasionally, there’s an abundance of external options (yes, I have an external floppy drive, tape drive, Blu-Ray, Zip and many more).

Strong agree. I’m going to make my iPhone 12 Pro sit in the corner and think about its behavior until it develops a headphone jack.
I’m sick and tired of these iPhones walking around here with a chip on their shoulder like they just get to do whatever they want. Enough!
