I don't mind the elimination of the 3.5mm audio port. What I do mind is Apple providing an imperfect solution in the box for those of us that will want/need to continue using existing headphones.
The dongle included in the box provides an audio port which is good. What is bad is that you can't charge the iPhone when using the dongle. Apple should have provided a complete solution to the issue or no solution at all. It is a half-assed attempt to placate the people who don't want to lose the audio port.
