now defend the impending dongle disaster for iphone 7

it's going to be great. here's what's going to happen

apple will release the new iphone and then there will be the traditional manufactured outrage on the internet that accompanies every iphone release for a couple of weeks, but no one in the real world will care so apple will still end up selling millions of iphones once again. the only difference is that apple smartly leaked that the headphone jack was being removed almost a year in advance (i think january was the first reports about it) and then again with a controlled leak to the WSJ in the summer which was designed to bait nilay patel and the other apple haters. they obviously took the bait because they can't help themselves and because ultimately everyone was going to have the same take so they had to publish right then and now or miss out on the traffic to competition. everything went according to apple's plan and the first wave of outrage was in the middle of summer when everyone is on vacation, news is slow, and not many people are expecting apple news or are paying attention to news in general. now everyone is used to the idea and has come to accept it as inevitable, the criticism was also blunted by the fact that the other phone manufacturers also read apple rumors and started releasing phones without headphone jacks as well as intel saying usb-c is going to replace them. this made nilay very mad because he would have really liked to have had his take coincide with the high traffic period of an apple launch but also because he had to put this little preamble at the top of his post acknowledging apple wasn't the first to do this before he went into his apple-centric rant

apple was smart to leak it in advance to get the apple haters to blow their wads early, but also because they're introducing this change on a non-traditional "S" release that would normally be a redesign. the 10 year anniversary iphone next year will be the major redesign and by then everyone will have gotten used to the idea of no headphone jack, at a minimum, and no one will be able to bring it up again then. plus this fiscal year all the numbers are perceived to be bad because of tough comps year over year after the iphone 6 pulled forward upgrades and new customers massively, so this year and next year is the perfect time to reset expectations for investors, buyback stock at an insanely cheap discount to fair value, and avoid the entirely predictable narratives from the press that would accompany all their apple news stories. its also perfectly set up to catch all the upgrades from the iphone 6 owners cause most people will replace their phones every 2-3 years

and as for the impact on users themselves, the change will also be great in typical apple fashion. while the retard anroid OEMs aped apple's design choice at a very shallow level without any thought to implementation details, apple doesn't do that and has never. the new way to listen will be via wireless (bluetooth, something properietary, or both) and apple will undoubtedly get all the details right with an extremely polished solution

the only question is whether they'll include lightning headphones in the box or some basic wireless ones with having some better one be a $199 option. lightning in the box makes the most sense cause it wouldnt kill demand for the wireless ones, but that would depend on how much they can differentiate the good ones from the ones that would come in the box for free.

in either case it will be very good and apple will be proven correct immediately but also over the long arc of time, as usual

the iphone 7, if it followed the normal pattern, would have gotten a redesign this year but it's just gonna be a tweak to the same iphone 6 design. it will probably still be called iphone 7 cause i think they're gonna stop using S for iphones
