One more reason to get rid of the 3.5mm jack: To annoy people like Square who avoid paying the Apple tax to connect to an iOS device
- samtho 10y agoThe original square reader was a 3.5mm jack to save on cost, prevent an external power soirxe, and ensure compatibility with devices that were (at the time) not Bluetooth enabled. Now that you can put power off of the phone's charge port, Bluetooth peripherals are becoming increasingly more popular. It's a way better way to interface with the phone and applications.
