Apple To Abandon Headphone Jack

Other than Forbes click bait headline, where does it say Apple is getting rid of the 3.5" jack?

9to5Mac has learnt that Apple submitted a specification to its MFi (Made For) licensing program for headphones which connect using the company’s proprietary Lightning port instead of the standard 3.5mm jack. Furthermore all it will take for the Lightning port to start accepting these new headphones is a firmware update.


Doesn't this just mean you can either use the 3.5 or the lightning jack for some extra capabilities (depending on your headphone's needs)?
