Because in its current state the phone has to be physically touching the charging pad. Might as well plug it in

>>56489132

except you can

>>56489089

probably because the 3.5 was so fucking cheap that there was no incentive to actually try to make a good wireless solution.

either this move by Apple will go largely ignored or it will light a fire under everyone else's asses and accelerate wireless development.

>>56489011

No they won't.

>>56489160

>>56489011
>I cry because every other manufacturer will follow suit and will replace the 3.5mm jack :(

Don't count on it. This is Apple's "New Coke" moment. Millions of customers are going to be hesitant to lose their jack and either not buy one, or take a wait-and-see approach. We'll see this in the numbers in 90 days.

>>56489011
On MSM, I've only heard about complaints, even from loyal Apple customers.

>>56489328
Even the Apple wireless earbuds last five hours and charge while in their case. Are you seriously listening to music on your phone 15 hours a day? Your argument is dumb.

>>56489365
Worst of all is niggers love stealing Apple products. They see it and its like a big red target.

I bought some Panasonic ear buds for $5 or $6 a few months ago.

Even worse, Apple's wireless ear buds only work with Apple products.

Oh boy, I can't wait to hear complaints about how normies keep fucking losing their left/right AirBud so they now have to live with one or constantly buy a new pair every time.
>All because they need a wire/string/whatever to keep them from separating, and because they're not responsible enough.
Or everyone complaining about how they can't study and use Soundcloud because the battery (probably) still sucks and they can't charge and listen to music like us with 3.5MM jacks.
>Yes, there are those who take care of their things, including some normies
>Yes, I do know that "If I don't like it, I shouldn't buy it" and "It's pointless ranting about it on the Internet, much more this place.

Samsung will copy Apple as always. Other manufacturers will likely keep the 3.5mm jack around until it gets to a point where nobody is using them.

>>56489449
I'm obviously in the minority because I don't think Apple's wireless earbuds are that expensive for what they are ($159 I believe). If you watch the presentation they clearly have better sound quality than the current earbuds and have quite a few added features.

After giving them a listen I'm probably going to buy them, I've wanted quality wireless earbuds for daily shit for a long time. Of course they won't be what I use for listening to music when I want the best quality possible, but wearing them to the grocery store or when I'm walking seems ideal over wires hanging around to get snagged on shit, this alone is worth the price to me. The fact that they can detect when you only have one in and reroute the audio is also really nice.

Everyone's gotta join this meme. Sad.

What's the privacy implication of wireless headphones anyway? Is it just blutooth now?

>>56489475
This.

>>56489519
>Is it just blutooth now?
yes

>>56489503
To which I say, "knock yourself out."

Unfortunately I along with many others am a cheapfag and think triple digits for shit like headphones, unless you're a professional, is a waste of $$ intended solely to impress the other bus riders.

Music for the thread.

>>56489519
You can use a lightning to headphone jack adaptor. It comes with one. It only presents a problem if you want to charge your phone at the same time as you listen to it.

Some one will probably make a splitter.

As it stands right now, if you want to listen to music on your iphone and charge it at the same time, you have to use the dock, which still has the 3.5mm jack out.

>>56489494
About 30 minutes ago I saw a Samsung commercial that had wireless earbuds

>>56489494
>Samsung will copy Apple as always.
FYI - Samsung released wireless IEMs two months ago? If anything Apple is copying Samsung and doing a stupid job of it with wireless earbuds instead of IEMs.

All this shit remind me when Apple did a no Ethernet laptop, media went crazy about the "death of ethernet" and guess what.

I say this will be an "option" but too much people invested on their headphones to expect the market doing a 180 turn and declare the 3.5 jack "a thing from the past"

remember how the iWatch was going to cause a revolution?

>>56489395
The ones that look retarded are those with a mic. Granted, that's what comes prepackaged with the iPhone 7. Welp.

Please don't give me dog shit and try and tell me it gold. Apple is not interested in technological improvement. If it was so against 3.5 mm it would have implemented a more generic connector that other manufacturers could implement instead the chose a Lightning ®©™ that headphone manufacturers must apply to Apple for a licence.

IPhone headphones will not cause wider take up of lightning headphones any more than lightning chargers became widespread for changing connections. At the end of the day who cares what apple does. Either buy apple or don't.

wireless is retarded unless you're doing long distance or mobile networking

It is. CD Drives are pretty useless too. They're usually pretty spot on about this stuff in all fairness. And the headphone jack does take up a substantial amount of space, for something I don't use. And most people don't use.

the new haptic engine is there. It works not only with 3D touch but also with the new home button that is solid and doesn't move anymore. It was a good choice as it gives the single home button even more functionality now.

i'd say most normal people don't even know how to set that up, and your idea of "normal people" is skewed by a small number of sexy people you oogled in higschool/college for having distinguishing features like bluetooth headphones

kind of like how an /r9k/ talks to one woman, gets rejected, and goes full MGTOW

It's fucking hilarious. Apple's repeating their previous mistakes and making a prison of their architecture again. Now that they've lost their exquisite design taste with Jobs' death, everything they do just comes off as crass and blatant gouging.

Android's going to eat their fucking lunch and beat their ass as hard as open architecture PC did in the 80s and 90s. No one wants an ugly, expensive, tacky prison, and that's what Appleshit is becoming again.

Seriously it's just too funny. History repeating to a fucking T.

I'm actually going to defend Apple on this one. It needs to go, tech needs to advance. The reaction to how these are being removed are why the MP3 format will never die. Normalfags will use it until the day they die and don't want superior formats or don't know there are superior formats.

>>56489963
seems about right.

>>56489011

Replacing 3.5mm with USB Micro would be pretty cool actually, but this Apple shit is stupid. Never been a big Apple fan anyway.

>>56490669
Except this isn't an advancement. DAC happens somewhere. Doing it twice is redundant, and forcing all headphone manufacturers to enter the DAC business so people can buy soundcards inside their headphones and add extra points of bad engineering/hardware failure/degradation is awful.

If it was some new flat analog cable standard with multiple adopters I might be in, but this is just iRape and violation of modularity. It's bad all around.

The 3.5mm let's everyone do one thing and do it well.

That's a fine reason not to get it. I work in film so need a Mac, and the iPhone works perfectly with it.

It absolutely does. The Plus camera beats anything Android manufacturers have produced, touch ID is better than any other scanner, 3D touch is still unique to apple products and they're objectively the fastest smartphones on the market.

I wouldn't mind if everyone moved to a new standard, but that's not what apple is doing. Their being proprietary to make more bucks. What is 3.5 lacking that another standard could provide anyways? I guess it could be smaller? Is that alone worth abandoning a time honored standard?

>he's only awake for 15 hours a day

>>56490827
>point 1
I saw a definitely aesthetic decline with the 6's antenna lines, but the 7/Plus looks significantly better. The new OS relies heavily on swiping from the sides of the screen so while I really like straight-edged displays, rounding them is essential to how the phone works (and IMO swiping for navigation and multitasking is much more intuitive than pressing a button).

>point 2
That's not why I use a Mac. I use it firstly because I shoot on Prores (the best codec available for 95% of film work) which was developed specifically for viewing and editing on macs, along with partner grading software such as DaVinci. DaVinci, FCPX and Adobe CC are all being updated to make use of the mac's new 3D touch pads which I find editing incredibly easy on. And then there's the displays, which are pretty essential if you're going to be doing any kind of colour work (obviously there are expensive alternatives for PCs).

>point 3
>All cameras are so good now that slight differences aren't dealbreakers.
Yes and no, using a 56mm prime on a phone is something I've yearned to do for a long time as a photographer/videographer. Also the 3D depth-mapping is a feature I can see many people using consistently (I'll probably have it on by default for most photos) and it'll only get better with developers using it do do stuff like low-dof video and stereo 3D.

>point 4
No, I've never developed for iOS so I can't say anything about that process.

>>56489160
