lmao no headphone jack. Are you serious. Who is stupid enough to buy a new phone and a bunch of adapters instead of just keeping a working one, or buying an Android phone that works without a pile of adapters.

The reason I care about the headphone jack is because my car stereo doesn't support bluetooth and I'm not gonna drop a bunch of money either upgrading it or buying overpriced dongles because Lord Tim is desperate for cash and can't actually come up with a real product so he needs to license adapters for basic poo poo like 3.5mm or even things like 'have your phone plugged in and connected to a stereo at the same time


But anyway the last 3 or 4 iPhone models literally do everything you could possibly want them for so there's no reason to upgrade outside of vanity or Apple scams like retarded peripherals requiring a new phone for no reason

i agree 100% with removing the headphone jack and just smh if your headphones dont have a detachable cable in 2016

but

the outcry when it happens is gonna be amazing i honestly cant wait to see millions of people lose their poo poo at the same time. think apple maps antennagate and 30-pin-to-lightning combined times over 9000

actually you will hope this helps

the headphone jack is gonna die whether you want it or not

its gonna be like flash and removable batteries and the rest of the nerd poo poo

the android badphones will keep it for like 2 years and make some populist marketing about it and then drop it too

I don't think it'll be as simple as changing out the cable. you'll need a dac of some kind in between the Lightning port and the 'phones

hopefully they bring out a tiny dongle but I have a feeling they will just release a lightning version of every beats headphone with integrated dac and you'll have to buy one of those or some lovely rear end third party dac unit

why? You can put out high frequency digital pulses on any of the pins and use the headphones as a low pass filter without ever having to use a DAC. or you could just repurpose 4 pins to do balanced channels with regular audio signals on them. That is a seriously trivial issue

or 3 pins for regular 3.5mm unbalanced audio

so would just keeping the headphone jack that's worked just fine for decades and realizing that absolutely no one gives a poo poo or really even wants a phone that's .03mm thinner anymore

i mean technically you can get better audio quality out of 4pins running a balanced connection but that is not going to be relevant to earbuds so idk why they are replacing it. I'm sure it makes board layout a lot easier

the connector is supposed to be "all digital" so I don't think they'll be sending any analog signals over those pins. but I guess they own it so they can do whatever and break their own spec
