  1. I changed from Android with the 12 Pro two years ago, and apart from the data copying app on Android being pants, it went ok. I’ve really not noticed a huge difference, apart from sometimes you have to think about how you’re going to get a pic or file off your phone, mainly because I do it really rarely. I can recommend the change though. I’m glad to be rid of Android.

Something seems to be shorting out. The 6S is an old device and after years of pulling it in and out of your pocket, it’s likely collected some gunk in the port.
Make sure the port is clean. This isn’t super easy but some compressed air shots can loosen stuff up. If you get in there with a toothpick or something, be very careful, once something breaks, it’s done.
once clean, as others have mentioned, use quality earbuds. Plenty of companies still sell the 3.5mm plug style earbuds.

Just for context, I moved on to wireless earbuds before apple found the 'courage' to remove them so it never personally affected me. However i find it very easy to sympathize with those out there who are serious audiophiles and have very expensive headphones that obviously do not work over Bluetooth.

You may not care about them then maybe you care about the countless number of people that just needed a private sound experience instead of using their phone speaker on public transport and didn't require any $300 pair of earbuds to achieve that?

Yeh. It was a shit decision only made to sell their airpods. Which evidently they did (look at the revenue brought in by it) but some people did fall through the cracks

Edit: this is response to a comment saying whatever apple does is for a good reason. I just stated one time that it was definitely not for a good reason for the end user...

Finally, someone who agrees the notch and the pill/island are just pathetic interference with a normal full screen! Why won’t Apple just kill the damn notch and island. Who would want their television with a notch or island??? No one! Give us back a normal full screen! People have become such ardent iPhone fans they’ll defend anything. I’ve only bought iPhones ever, but the notch/pill/island is a huge disappointment.
