It’s certainly not a technology without flaws, but being overly locked down is definitely not one of them, no? Too many things have Bluetooth now, rather than the reverse.
Makes the argument that the headphone jack was removed for lock-in reasons pretty weak when the replacement will probably start coming with your produce in a couple of years. There is certainly no lack of Bluetooth headphones you can buy, even if they have all of the flaws above. The lock-in is not the problem.
- falcolas 4y agoA lack of lockdown does not absolve the adoption of shit standards.
- philistine 4y agoYeah but that wasn't OP's argument. Their argument was that Apple removed the headphones to lockdown their phones. Bluetooth can be crap, and also the antithesis of an Apple controlled standard.
- falcolas 4y agoMay I point you at the MFi program? Its a program which prevents some accessories from being used with iOS without registering with (and paying) Apple. One of the biggest usecases for the 2.5mm jack was the square cc readers. Guess what has to be MFi certified now?
