How many Head-Fi members have headphones or IEM's that are wire and can not be used without an additional attachment. I also personally don't believe that bluetooth  sounds as good as wired. Just my opinion.

Yes but it comes with the atachment, so you can still use your existing wired earphones. 
 
I wouldn't buy a iPhone for many reasons. the Head phone jack missing is about #20 on the list.

Thanks; I wasn't aware it came with the attachment. But what about sound? Can Bluetooth be as good as wired?

I think the question is can it be good enough. 
 
Also it depends on how its implemented.

"Good enough" is such a relative term. I suppose some people will be satisfied and others won't. Nonetheless Apple stock is reported down and the Iphone 7 sales are not living up to expectations.

Why are you posting this in this thread?

I think you want it to be about the headphone jack. But it's more likely to be the competition from other high end phones. Probably also the SE.

Realize this is an older thread with no recent activity but just bought from Apple a refurbished 5th gen iPod touch w/32 gb.  Had been looking at the 7th gen Nano but for $20 bucks more and 2x the memory + wireless capability, the Touch seemed like the way to go.  
 
Planning to use the Touch primarily as a music player for Apple Lossless library and mostly for outdoors.  Curious about earbud recommendations.  Can't use IEMs myself...too uncomfortable.  Awaiting receipt of a pair of Monk+.  Have Yuin PK-2.  Wondering what others  might be suggested.  Also curious about longer term ownership opinions, esp. re 5th gen Touch sound quality.  
 
Haven't yet had a chance to get through the 24 previous pages here!
 
Thanks in advance.
