It was 2011 and I was asked this question on @Quora.
"Will Apple eliminate the headphone and dock connectors in future iPhone releases?"
10 years later on 2021 my prediction of an iPhone with no headphone jack and no dock connector will be fulfilled.

I hear ya. You know I can predict this stuff quite well, but I do not always agree with how this will all play out. I still fell Apple will use Fiber Optics as an interface to the iPhone. We will see.
