I bought a lightning-headphone adapter, and may have to get a USB-C to headphone one (assuming it works). Well worth the expense, and you can just leave it connected to the headphones/stereo.

Oh I have 6. That's the minimum I need to have any hope of having one when I need it (in the car, in the home office, in the office-office, in the backpack, etc).
(I can't "leave it connected to headphones" as my iPhone is not the only device I own; and I move myself and my iPhone quite a bit. The nice thing about 3.5 was universal and ubiquitous. Lightning without 3.5mm is just a constant pain in my keister :)
But, the context of this sub-thread as I understood it, is - if they discontinue all the ports completely / go wireless, one could only use bluetooth headphones. And that's the suck because:
1. I already have a number of very nice headphones I planed to last me a lifetime
2. Bluetooth headphones have built-in obsolescence (battery, new protocols, etc)
3. Lag! I like to play synthesizers / make music on computers and tablets. Or play games with Kishi. Bluetooth is a pain for such use cases.
etc :-/
