kick and scream all you want but the 3.5mm analog jack is going away,
to be replaced with a digital version that offers greater reliability, 
higher quality audio, noise cancellation and much, much more. it can't
happen soon enough.

it's *already* gone on several android phones, including the moto z,
all of which were *before* apple released the iphone 7.

the usb-c audio spec was also just released this past week.

  standard they need to pipe sound through USB-C ports on everything
  from phones to PCs
