I would love to plug headphones into my phone, but I hate 3.5 mm. It's like mini-USB in the way that it will easily break the plug or the socket when you accidentally rip it out. Or even worse, it can pull devices out of pockets or off desks, because it's not designed to pull out when sideways forces are applied.
That's something that Apple's lightning connector, USB C and USB Micro are specifically designed around. Any significant force in any direction will slip out the plug without damaging either end.
