Hate to say it, but you should probably be eying your next phone based on what is on the market now - new models with headphone jacks are increasingly unlikely.

Then I won't be getting a new phone. I'm quite serious.

That said, the situation doesn't seem to be as dire as that. Last I checked there seem to be plenty of inexpensive phones that "still" have headphone jacks. It's ironically the top end of the market where people buy phones for signalling that you can't get them.

I’m still on my 6s+ for the headphone jack. And I really see no reason to upgrade, anyway.

But I would pay good money for a new iPhone with a headphone jack, if anyone at Apple is listening. Make it the pro super-duper model, with a $200 premium: I’m in.

But alas, I’m stuck on 6s+ for what seems like a foreseeable future.
