I don't think these two situations are comparable.<p>For one, I own multiple devices that are somewhat obsolete now. This wasn't a case with Flash, since I doubt anyone cared for technology the video was using — it's fine either way if you see same pixels on the screen. Apple also wasn't making money from every website that didn't include Flash, but I bet that's the case for each Lightning device produced, and the major reason jack is removed.<p>It's not even headphones-only either, there are multiple devices using 3.5mm for extedning iPhone's functionality that Apple don't get a cut from. I'm interested whether those will be supported via adapter.<p>I'm also not sure that 3.5mm is objectively worse than wireless. If anything, both have advantages and disatvantages.
