I really don't know what people expect from a phone nowadays to make it REVOLUTIONARY. Comparing a 7th gen phone to its original paradigm shifting first iteration is pretty silly at this point.

How about just not making the new version noticeably worse in order to push $160 ear buds that last (optimistically) 5 hours? I would never have any reason to be mad if not for the senseless regressions that give no benefit in return.

the iPhone 7 is literally better than the 6S so I'm sorry you are upset about having to use the included adapter and getting VERY MAD about it on the internet.

I got a Retina MacBook and was totally ready for the whole one USB-C port to be a total pain in the rear end. It's actually quite the opposite, the battery lasts so long I basically just charge it at night or when I'm not using it, and when I actually do need to use any other ports I just plug in this dongle thing. I keep all my other junk just always plugged in to the dongle so I can effectively "dock" my MacBook with one wire. What I initially thought was going to be a massive hassle I actually ended up liking quite a bit. I never would have expected that.

Yep! It loving owns and it's so small and light too.

The camera three iterations ago was more than I could ever need from a phone. I don't get this weird obsession with imperceptible camera improvements every generation. If I wanted a better camera than my phone (I don't) I'd go out and buy a real camera. It's been more than enough for dumb vacation selfies and pictures of food for years.

I don't think it's really fair to paint everyone who's annoyed by this change as having some kind of childish meltdown. I'm a frequent user of the 3.5mm jack, I use the same pair of headphones every day with my phone and my laptop (using a 3.5mm extender no less) so it's not just a case of attaching the dongle once and leaving it there. Of course I don't have to buy this phone, and I'm not going to, but I'm going to need a new phone eventually. Having to choose between sticking with an ecosystem that I'm mostly pretty happy with and that I have a lot invested in vs. being able to seamlessly use my phone for one of its primary uses is annoying. It's even more annoying because I think this move was motivated by the opportunity to sell more Beats headphones, AirPods, and MFi licenses.

I'm not melting down, but this is a frustrating change that seems to benefit Apple and no one else.

No, you're melting down.

You can still use your headphones with the adapter which really isn't that big of an inconvenience.

Or wait for the 7S and see if the complaining gets it back (lol no).

You do not need MFi, or Beats headphones to use Bluetooth headsets with the phone. The W1 tech is neat on the AirBuds but it's not hard to pair BT headphones.

It's not a big deal at all but people like to complain.

I really fail to see how disliking a change that affects me negatively and has no positive tradeoff is "melting down" but ok. I'm not holding my breath that the 3.5mm is coming back with the 7S but I am hoping that its absence allows them to actually do something cool that they couldn't otherwise do (like making it waterproof to 25 metres or something), and that the Bluetooth headphone market looks better in a year than it looks right now.
I agree on this point. This will hopefully push that part forward in both battery life, price, and quality.

There's a ton of options for that. There's all kinds of different car chargers now which also act as a Bluetooth receiver that you then plug your AUX input directly into. Some as cheap as $20. This tech is not new, or particularly advanced.

I haven't been able to find one with 2 USB ports. But yes, I'll keep an eye out.

You could also just go with one of the USB-powered ones and just grab a good 2-port USB charger on your own.

Yeah, I'll poke around. The setup in the car is really loving dumb. The aux port is between the seats and the cigarette lighter is underneath the radio. There's no USB or cigarette lighter in the area where the AUX port is. I can always run a long wire so it's not a huge deal but it irks me.
