I have an easier way to task switch and force close.

Instead of the somewhat awkward initial swipe up, you can actually just swipe right on the "Home Bar".  This will immediately jump to task switching apps full screen, then slide up and hold briefly and the close buttons appear on all tasks.  Now you just flick apps up and they are closed.

This is really fast and easy, going back to a home button is not foreign to me when using my iPad etc. 

A great big F.U. to Apple!  The headphone jack is a ubiquitous connection across electronic devices, this is no small thing.  We have a houseful of expensive Bose noise canceling phones/buds that we use when travelling, allowing us to charge and listen, arriving at our destination with fully charged phones.

The headphone jack is also a multi-function interface that other products rely on, we use credit card readers, wind meters, podcasting external mics with this jack, let alone all the audio connections to various speakers/cars where a simple plain audio solution is preferred to Bluetooth or some dumb Apple adapter cable.

I also use Bluetooth headsets every day but they aren't and never will be my sole preference.

I was OK with Apple creating the lightning connector, its more robust than the crazy 30pin, however, they really should have embraced USB-C like they embraced emerging standards in the past.  But no, they created a proprietary connection, charge the world royalties, gave us nothing special in return and frankly began to alienate me as a consumer.

Dropping the audio jack will be the last straw, I will force my family away from Apple for this next generation and probably future generations.  I'm surprised no pundit is willing to call Apple out on this proposed step.

Apple is a big dog, but this dog is beginning to smell.

Agreed, this won't help anyone but Apple, sheese, potential to save jack.
