I can't see any mention of a headphone jack, does this mean they've removed it?
I ditched my iPhone because of the lack of something this basic, I'm glad I bought an iPad mini last year while they still have this functionality.
N.B.
(1) I can't use in-ear ear-buds
(2) I have high quality wired headphones I want to use
(3) I want to use it in my car which although it has bluetooth, does not work with music, only with phone calls
- LeoPanthera 5y agoBut it has USB-C, so you can use USB-C headphones or one of the many dongle adapters.
- ddalex 5y agothe dongles are the most stupid thing ever... "our devices are so thin and light..." no shit, half of the device is outside, you just have to carry this bag of dongles with you
- LeoPanthera 5y agoMost DAC dongles are no thicker than the actual cable to your headphones.
- Teckla 5y agoI often use my iPad Pro like a laptop -- at a desk, with Bluetooth keyboard -- for extended periods of time. Very frequently, I use my wired headphones and charge the device at the same time. I'm glad I can do that without some dodgy external dongle.
- Wildgoose 5y agoBut I have good quality wired headphones that I like. A headphone jack is pennies. I don’t want to buy, possibly charge and generally carry around something else when this is a solved problem that Apple has broken. I also like being able to charge my device AND listen to it at the same time.
