Just curious, what's your opinion on their decision to remove the headphone jack?

  That's one of the post Apple Computer decisions that bugs me. I'm a relic and like my headphones with wires attached. My wired cans have this unique feature of not needing to be recharged.

    Now you know how everyone else felt when Apple killed the floppy.

      I don't follow your logic. When the floppy was killed, there were better replacements available. There were devices just as portable, larger capacity, and faster access. It just plugged into a different port, and came in a different form factor. Switching from wired to wireless giving up performance capabilities (ex: over ear headphones vs ear buds) forcing one to recharge batteries etc is not even in the same ballpark as the loss of the floppy.

        You had to buy another device. You couldn't use your collection of data and programs stored on those floppies. Many questioned, "What's wrong with floppies?". And the collection of same questions being mentioned in this thread about earphones.

    That’s what people would’ve felt about floppys. I can say I don’t really care about the removal of headphone jack. But I’m not assuming most people feel that way.
