Seen some whining, bickering and general gnashing of teeth on other forums, so thought I'd get this one out of the way.
Apparently, Apple have brought some people's world crashing down in flames with the decision to replace the old and ugly 3.5mm headphone socket with Lightning capable headphones.
BUT...CALAMITY. You can't charge your phone and listen to your music at the same time.
All is not lost. For the remarkably low price of $159, you can buy a pair of Apple AirBuds and listen to your music through those while using your Lightning port to charge your phone. When the unthinkable happens, and you need to charge your AirBuds, your iPhone will probably have sufficient charge to switch to the supplied wired buds that come with the phone.
Don't know about anyone else, but I work long days...VERY long days, but even I am not active for 25 hours a day, so even in the busiest schedule, there should be time to charge the phone and the AirBuds.
