What about noise cancelling earphones ? their size really benefits from an external power source - which is in a standard format - so less lock-in games we see in android), they already have a chip inside - so theoretically the new headphone connector shouldn't make them much more expensive, and maybe there's a possibility of co-processing the noise cancelling algorithm on the phone .
Couple that with ,maybe, Apple starting a technology war on that front(and we already see few rivals pre-attack, like leEco, Samsung, Sony) could be a beneficial thing for us.
- owenwil 10y agoTotally agree powered peripherals are an awesome improvement, but why sacrifice the universal standard at the same time? Both can co-exist, no?
- tunap 10y agoThey can co-exist, but this is a control issue. USB connections to external devices deprecated to rely on proprietary services; replacing non-replaceable batteries creates reliance on 3rd party services; absence of expandable storage encourages hardware deprecation and high margin internal options; lack of physical keyboard... IDK why, despite my need I am consistently reminded I don't really want it. All these improvents take control away, create future revenue streams, obfuscate the mundane and, best of all, deliver wafer-thin slabs that are a short drop away from replacent hardware. This is why I am waiting on parts to revive my nokia n900(again).
