Oh, I forgot about iPads, iirc some recent models still have them. Although, technically, those are soon going to be "iPadOS" devices.

I don't share your outlook, for whatever its worth. I use the headphone jack on my iPhone 6S daily, because I really don't want to deal with pairing and charging.

I pad mini gen 5 has headphone jack as does the iPad 6 I have, wouldn't have bought if it didn't I use it among other things to listen to podcasts in bed with my comfy memory foam headphones (that double as ear plugs).

It's funny, I would never buy a.mac but I live my iPads as media consumption devices that just work they are fantastic.

Yes, last year's iPad (the cheap one), still has a headphone jack.

The iPhones that don’t come with a headphone jack come with lightning headphones.

A dual lightning adapter is $10 bucks on Amazon as is a lightning female + headphone jack to allow wired headphones + charging.

Which I would instantly lose and never have with me when I need them.

If I could leave the adapter always attached that would be one thing, but Macs, game consoles, and other devices I use don't have lightening ports.
