Didn’t you hear the keynote? The #1 reason why they did it is “Courage”.

I shouldn’t need a fucking adapter to plug my headphones into my phone. That’s not adding functionality, it’s adding complexity, and for no good fucking reason.

Looks like the headphone jack really is gone. I’m so deeply disappointed by that. Such a senseless thing to remove. Such a stupid step. I hope it comes back in the 8 because I’m not getting one without a jack. I spent way too much money on really good headphones. And don’t even talk to me about an adaptor. Ugh.
