This goes to show how much of an Apple apologist Josh Gruber is in defending the removal of the headphone jack. People need to realise that not all deductions by Apple were accepted with open arms (remember the buttonless iPod Shuffle) and I feel there might be a 50% chance that this is not the end of the headphone jack on iDevices. I certainly think that there's courage in what Apple's doing; it's just not not the courage that Phil Schiller described it as the courage to move forward. It's more the courage to test the limits of the goodwill/fanaticism that Apple has built over the last decade of true innovation to force an even more locked down ecosystem that keeps users from never switching away. If Apple were truly courageous for technology's sake, they would have adopted an open standard like USB-C or make Lightning an open standard and drop the ridiculous royalty fees and MFi process associated with it. That is the courage to do what's right with out profits in mind.
