It's being reported that Apple is going to remove the headphone jack for the iphone 7 and utilize the lightning port for headphones or you can just use wireless. Apparently, this will free up valuable interior real estate and make the phone easier to truly waterproof. I dunno. :-\ I hate wireless headphones and I listen to my phone with headphones while it is charging.
-
Bluetooth earphones, but a lot of people are paranoid about using them.
-
Is this to support their new line of beats by appleDre
-
Everything they do is for more money.
Not user experience, not expediency of waterproofing. Just money.
Why they have itunes, different chargers, different os and things like this...
I hate iphones, they are terrible - I'm just so pissed off Samsung copied them with S6 (and I realised it after I got one... free... but still). You should be able to add memory (used to be able to on samsung til s6), you should be able to swap sims (could on samsung til s6) and the usb port should be universal (apple were sly cu nts in how they dodged eu law - they said universal chargers meant the bit that plugged into wall and got away with it ::) )...
Still, they make a shitload of money and my dad has a shitload of their shares so - go buy it.

Smart way to push headphone sales. Interesting how they can stream over that port. Do what black people do and play your music out loud while on public transportation.

It's hardly innovative. Apple could put their logo on a turd and people would line up for 3 days to buy it. Cloud is being pushed so heavily (by Microsoft, Apple, Google...everyone) because subscription pays more than once off payment. MS office is now €70 or so a year instead of a once of payment - adobe did same, apple is doing the same and expanding ppm options. It is bleeding people of money, they don't consider the cost.

Thats why apple bought beats by dre
Make everyone but all new headphones cus their old 3.5mm jack will be obsolete
People will be waiting in line for days to spend $399 for new beats by drea by apple headphones

Well, that and apple had close to $200bn in cash that it does not want taxed. Same reason Facebook bought Whatsapp and Instagram for so much.

Yeah, I don't get it either. My bluetooth headphones have a 40 ft range, so I can just put my phone down and work out.

You realize Bluetooth is an open std, development lead by Microsoft. So Bluetooth works on all smartphones?

Someone has to pose to one of his "songs" one day.

will the ipad be THAT thin, that a headphone jack won't work? weak.

Some people think the radio waves cause cancer.

This.
Still, its all voluntarily.

They are trying to follow the business model of the old Bell System of leasing the equipment in the home. You could connect nothing to your home telephone connection, only company provided (and installed) equipment.
So the idea of the cloud is actually a new name for "Time Sharing"...If the data processing "power" is on the company premises...they are in control...it means they have the power to get a long term continuous cash stream going.
I personally use Office 95...Somehow I bet newer computers won't run old software.

WoooSSHHHHHHHH

That's the shitty part about wireless. It needs to be charged. Dead headphones and you're fucked unless you shill for the Apple brand to plug in.

Apple brand comes with the phone.

Those shitty $5 headphones they give? I bet 99% of people leave it in the box when they get their new phones.

Maybe, but they're an ok substitute if the bluetooth headphones aren't charged.
I'm finding these to be pretty great so far:

Yes, because it's ideal to carry around two sets of headphones. Basically all this is going to do is create more assholes that blare their music out loud since they won't be spending another couple hundred on new headphones. The ultimate resolution will be a3.5 mm jack to lightning port adapter but I bet Apple will make it difficult to do.

If people don't charge their headphones, that's on them.

They're good products.

They're good products.
Not to start an iPhone vs the others flame war.
But, Imo They're the best products. Why? Quality and support. Being that Apple makes the hardware and software, if I have a problem I just go to apple. With android you're stuck going to the shitty ass carrier. Plus android is still in fucking beta, Google doesn't have to support it. Lame as fuck. :-\
