serious discussion
would this man be for or against the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack ?

For, because it is admittedly a flawed technology. Jobs would have a agreeable replacement, though, as opposed to just falling back on bluetooth/requiring adapters for the existing port. If I knew what his replacement would've been, then I wouldn't be a neet, so don't ask.

it would probably be a new standard that sets the bar
instead of just removing it and replacing it with NOTHING
I miss that fuker
>>56084401
He would, no doubt about it.
For the same reasons. Allegedly for more thinness and progress, in reality to make his prey customers buy branded accessories that bring apple tax home unlike your standard Sennheiser/Audio Technica/etc headphones.

this fucker was so unpredictable. but I think he would probably replace it with something else, something with an actual advantage over lightning headphones/adapter
Of course he would. Because there's a method to making money. He however would not use Blutooth, he rolled over in his grave when Apple bought Beats by Dre. He would develop a proprietary wireless protocol that would sound exactly like aptX, and you could control the built in amplifier on the headset that would charge with your idevice charge 700 dollars for these apple headsets, and have them become the standard in music listening while everyone around the world on /g/ derides apple for releasing another proprietary device but being forced to admit they sound phenomenal as the industry tries to catch up, again.
I loved this man. Sad to see where apple is now without him. Has apple even innovated after he died? Inb4 the apple never innovated, just steals shit meme. iPhone set the standard for what a mobile phone is in this day and age. Android before and after the iPhone is a good comparison.
As for if he'd remove the 3.5 jack? Probably not, it still works well doesn't it?

it would be an all white connector with no strain relief.

I don't know. But I know that if he was I would trust that it is because they are replacing it with better technology and not for ugly adapters and/or 25 year old technology like bluetooth.
I don't think he would remove it, but made it a big fuckery like, because >>56086040
like, cut the standard audio jack flat (muh 0.5mm space savings), then add another millimeter width to break compatibility with the world
