I'd defend apples move to remove the headphone jack if that coincided with a move to a standard jack. But they didn't do that, I don't personally like Bluetooth headphones (one more thing to charge), and so what, now I need headphones that work with only one thing?

And there is no equivalent port on their laptops, so I can't even use the same headphones with my laptop?!

This is annoying, and the new usb spec is fine as a replacement for lightening. I am a very frustrated Apple customer, and it has me for the first time considering not buying another of their phones.
