You can not buy a phone without a headphone port. I don't see what a big deal this is. Is there another situation besides two that I'm missing?
1. Apple is right. There is a big advantage (or at least no/inconsequential downasides) to replacing the 3.5mm audio jack. In a year or two everyone has forgotten about this and people are wondering when 3.5mm is going to finally die.
2. Apple is wrong. The 3.5mm jack shows back up on iphone 8,9,10 or however long it takes them to realize they were wrong. In the meantime they lose market share over this and even after the hoopla has died down people are still speaking with the wallets by not buying an iphone.
- throwanem 10y agoWhere is the place, in such a reasonable analysis, for the kind of conspiracy theory and histrionics that make up such a delightful part of the tech community's response to every Apple product release?
- BatFastard 10y agoI know a number of people in the music business who swear they will never buy another apple product because of the 3.5 jack business. Lets see if they stick to it.
- J5892 10y agoSome will. Most will complain about it and buy an iPhone anyway because it's such a hassle to switch between iPhone/Android.
