Has Apple explicitly stated that they removed the jack for reasons of thinness?

to be fair getting rid of a universal port that a lot of things use to pile up the licensing fees is pretty ballsy

I think they've also said something about the headphone jack not supporting "HD Audio" (96khz/24 bit) which is some real bullshit. The iPhone 6 DAC didn't support 96 khz audio, but that's okay because our ears don't support it either.

Ok, i guess the "thin" thing was just something the collective hivemind assumed then since "the iphone 7 is super super thin!" or something. (It isn't.)

Calling an audio standard literally not detectable by human ears "HD" is sheer marketing brilliance and I'm not surprised Apple is doing it

The Ascend P6 is 1.1 mm thinner and has a headphone jack. There's a few phones in the low 5 mm range that have jacks.

There's over 130 phones thinner than it with a jack. But well, it seems like the thin point wasn't even one made by apple, so it's moot.

iphones are nice but no way I'm going to carry around a dumb adapter just so I can get the extremely basic functionality of "plays music through headphones". No headphone jack is probably the best reason I've heard in years for switching to android.

Yeah I've used iphones since the 3G and just stayed with them because I already had all the apps, was familiar with the OS, had all the chargers, etc but this might finally push me slightly over the edge to using android poo poo The only thing that makes me hesitant is my wife and I still use ipads so we'd have to like buy apps for android for phone and then iOS for the iPad but I mean most apps we use are free or cheap so maybe it's not a big deal

Nill posted:Your Android apps will basically end up being free. Google has a survey app that gives you store credit for simple 3 second opinion stuff every now and then and you can link your phones in a family group to only have to buy apps once. Yeah except you get like 40 cents max per survey, once a week. So it takes a while to build any meaningful credit

loquacius posted:Apple is literally allergic to technology standards, every single thing they use has to be their own proprietary poo poo so they can not that I give a poo poo about this fuckin nerd poo poo but every single connector on all Apple devices is standard except for the charging connectors. the only other proprietary poo poo anyone would care about is network services and while AirPlay and iMessage are obv proprietary, Google has proprietary equivalents to both, so I'm not sure how apple is worse. in conclusion: what the gently caress are you talking about

Apple only switched to USB on desktop because they couldn't convince anyone to care about FireWire, and they've never used anything but proprietary connectors on their phones (y'know, the thing the thread is about) and tablets. They couldn't control what devices used the headphone jack for so it's gone now. I am a huge prick and I hope this helps. but please tell me more about how you obviously don't care about any of this
