I am sure if this happens and the manufacturers jump to make a new standard to replace 3.5mm, the reactions in here will be much different.
You've been able to get knock offs of the old Apple USB cable for > $5 at Amazon for years now. As long as they plan to hold onto lighting for at least a decade, price shouldn't be that big of an issue in the long run. I think the bigger problem is you are removing an input port from the device. Sure you can have a pass through, but those are often bulky and less secure than a native port.

i get a warning everytime i use a non licensed device. They can shut this down whenever they want. For shitty connectors, its probably not worth it but for headphones? It just might be.
