- DougWebb 10y agoApple's reasoning is that the problem with the old analog headphone jack is that it won't work with all of the new lightning-based headphones that will be coming out soon. /sarcasm
- smt88 10y agoI'm not sure why you tagged that as sarcasm because it's 100% true. They're creating a market that didn't exist, and they'll be the ones licensing/manufacturing the products.
- rufius 10y agoThere isn't one. At least not for mere mortals or even most HiFi nerds. I've got $300 headphones I use with my iPhone. They sound exceptionally better (especially with an amp) than shit earbuds it comes with. Even if Apple traded the analog for a digital connection, I'm pretty certain I wouldn't notice a meaningful difference in day to day use. Now I'm sure if I sat down with the express goal of proving they're different I could convince myself they are but I doubt it.
