I also explained that development for Android was much easier than iOS.

I just prefer superior hardware (for lower costs) and open source.

it's only non-developers that think developing for android is easier

also superior hardware??

i guess people think "hmm, i can easily pirate and side load apps. that's probably the hardest part of programming, getting the app on the device after the coding part. :downs:"

they don't know any coding and wouldn't know where to start

Apple is about to rip off every one of its customers. Again.

Forbes and FastCompany are reporting that Apple plans to ditch the standard 3.5mm headphone jack when it releases the iPhone 7 later this year. Only a massive international campaign can force Apple to change course now.

Not only will this force iPhone users to dole out additional cash to replace their hi-fi headphones, it will singlehandedly create mountains of electronic waste -- that likely won't get recycled. According to the United Nations, up to 90% of the world's electronic waste is illegally traded or dumped each year.

Tell Apple to respect its customers and our planet. Keep the standard headphone jack.

This is right out of the Apple corporate playbook. A few years ago it swapped out the original iPod-dock connector with a new one, making countless cords, cables and chargers obsolete.

Apple plays up its green credentials, but the truth is that Apple only invested in renewable energy, and began phasing out toxic chemicals when public pressure became too strong to ignore. People power did it before, and we can do it again.

Tell Apple to keep the standard headphone jack and ditch planned obsolescence!

removing the headphone jack means it can be thinner and lighter and would help make it truly waterproof. also, 3.5mm jacks are far from good, you have to turn them just right to get proper sound some times.

when the iPhone came out getting a proper 3.5mm jack was a godsend because other people had random proprietary ports with one pair of lovely headphones to choose from. but now apple makes good headphones, bought beats, and the lightning port in iPhone is popular enough they have been making stereos and car systems around it already. it's proprietary, but it's ubiquitous.

hopefully there will be a selection of first and third party lightning DACs to suit every budget and taste level [the apple one will be the smallest, prettiest and most performant of the lot]

im imagining a tiny version of their white thunderbolt to cat5 adapter

knowing Tim it'll probably be terrible tho

why would a lightning port be in a stereo? are there male-male lightning cables to charge your phone? why wouldn't it just have a usb port?

Just remove the camera from the iPhone 7. If people want to use a camera, make it a dongle.

im guessing there just won't be a DAC. it'll come with lightning earpods with integrated DAC. and you'll have to buy some ridiculous chunky 3rd party bullshit and it'll be the wrong colour
