there is a [iPhone] headphone jack, it's just digital.

I notice that the dangling dongle is no longer included with the new
Apple phones. It's an extra 9 bucks if wanted. A continuing Apple
customer wean job from the standard wired headphone...

wired headphones are in the box and plug in without any adapter, or use
bluetooth headphones. very few people need an adapter.

the first android phone, 10 years ago, did not have an analog headphone
jack and didn't include an adapter. prior to that, flip phones used a
non-standard 2.5mm analog headphone jack and didn't include an adapter.

it's a non-issue.

Agreed. Still tons of other smartphones with headphone holes to choose
from.

not for long. the analog headphone jack is eventually going away, to be
replaced with something far more capable. right now, it's a transition
period, which is always a hassle.
