All it will do is create yet-another-strandard.gif. The recording, performance, and production industry isn't throwing away wired headphone jacks any time soon, and is not swayed by apple trends -- and neither are audiophiles, but they're a smaller market driver. For the most part, it will lead to more fragmentation and higher markups on proprietary devices.
Frankly, I don't see the pain with the headphone jack. It's raw sound delivered in the simplest possible circuits. I don't understand what we gain by complicating the transport of soundwaves, as it's certainly not quality. I wish historic search was easier, because this whole "apple is getting rid of the headphone jack" gets repeated and squashed year after year.

- tambourine_man 11y agoYes
- krisdol 11y agoAudiophiles are strange people. I wouldn't be too sure on them preferring digital.
