I dont thin Apple is run by either designer or engineer. Since Jobs death apple is run by marketing department and board wanting as much money as possible. There is noticable decline in quality of design and engineering.
Making waterproof iphone is reaction to market of waterproof android phones. Every designer understands the greatness of jack design. Its again move of marketing department to control headphone market and DRM your music.
It used to be that you had iphone. It was expensive, but it was one best phone Apple could build. Now how many iphone types you can buy? Thats marketing. It will fail because soon even general people will realize its not so good anymore.
I am sad abou OSX tho.
- Grazester 10y agoMany waterproof phones are offered with headphone jack. Dont blame the lack of that on the fact that the iphone is now waterproof. It might be all about design. Control and the royalties that need to be paid to them to use the lightning port of course I bet is something that was also discussed extensively in their decision.
