>The 3.5mm jack is too thick, it's holding back progress!

>>56536152
Do people actually think it doesn't have a built in DAC? How do you use the internal speakers then, dumbfags?

What's the retarded gimmick? Was on holiday for two weeks.

>>56536176
When did I ever say that it didn't have a built-in DAC exactly?

You know it comes with headphones that connect through the lightning port right? And every report is saying they have better audio quality than regular ones because they can draw more power from the phone.

>>56536152
how do you know that they sound worse?

>>56536208
>because they can draw more power from the phone

how to spot a retard

>>56536152
Even most of the apple normies I know are upset about this

Can't we just drop it though?

Sheep will buy it, just like they stick with windows 10 because muh gaymes, they will stick with ithing because muh status symbol.

No reason any more to try to convince them, they are drones, just watch the bubble burst from the comfort of GNU/Linux

>>56536208
>it's ok, we're saved, there's 1 pair of headphones in the world that doesn't require an adapter!

>>56536152
The adapter doesn't have a DAC in it, retard.

What /g/ seems to forget is that apple is more of a fashion company than a tech company.

People buy the iPhone as a fashion accessory and as a byproduct they get a functional tech device optimized for the non tech savvy

>>56536274
You know how other manufacturers make charging cables for iphones? The same will happen for headphones

>>56536274
Yes, the pair of headphones that comes with the phone will work with the phone. What is the problem? Plus it's Apple, within a few months we will have tons of third party lightning cables.

>>56536232
Nice comeback. Shame nothing I said was wrong.

So the wireless connection for the headphones uses a completely proprietary system?

>>56536247

Didn't stop them from buying the phone though

>>56536315
>apple is more of a fashion company
this

Apple threads belong to /fa/ and windows threads to /v/

>>56536195
Oh, so you were just too retarded to realize that the lighting port can output analog?

>>56536380
phone threads just need to be removed

>>56536355
>What is the problem?

>using the AUX connector in your car or stereo
>listening to music while charging
>using any other headphones than the ones provided

>>56536415

Imagine a /g/ with no phone threads, no GPU threads, and no subreddits aka generals.

>>56536327
>>56536355
You guys missed the point (probably on purpose). There's one set of headphones that work with it only, and companies that start making their headphones with lightning will charge more than for the standard 3.5mm
>cue iFags asking me if I'm poor for not wanting to pay more for the same sound quality with more bulk

>making up a false precedent

Its not about thinness you fucking sperglord. Did the phone get thinner? No. Is the 3.5mm big? No.

>>56536479
So tech support questions, desktop threads, guts threads, speccy threads, fizzbuzz threads and a lincucks circlejerk?

Nice. Nice,

>>56536492
>fails to make phone thinner
>retrothinks its consumers into believing that was never the idea in the first place

>>56536490
Bullshit and you know it. If you buy a 3rd party brand, lightning cables are about the same price as usb c and micro usb.

>>56536506

You fight cancer in small areas first

>>56536355
>Nice comeback. Shame nothing I said was wrong.
There's nothing limiting power draw on the 3.5mm jack, it supports a much higher power draw than what lighting can support
The people saying that are shills and placebo fucks, or people who got brain damaged by Jobs RDF
They might have improved them a bit, since even the shittiest chinkphones rape the old EarBuds, but the improvement doesn't come from the lightning port

>>56536152
>ignoring the fact that the phone is going to come with a pair of lightning earpods

jesus christ

>>56536543
You seem to not get the point: a lightning connector is much more expensive than a 3.5mm connector. No one talked about usb.

>>56536632
No one ignored it, it's just not a valid counter-point.

>>56536327
And they will have to pay huge licensing fees because the lightning port is proprietary and the IPhone can detect and block unauthorized cables...

>>56536264
>Sheep will buy it
They won't, there's a reason Apple isn't releasing the first week sales figures of the new iPhone's, they know there's going to be a strong backlash from dropping the 3.5mm port
>>56536360
It does, though apparently it's built on top of existing BT protocols

>>56536524

>Apple removed the headphone jack and was too dumb to make the phone thinner
>seriously, actually, thinking this

Are you 14?

>strong backlash from dropping the port
YOU FUCKING APES NO ONE WILL GIVE A SHIT WHEN THE PHONE COMES WITH FUCKING EARBUDS HOLY SHIT YOURE ALL FUCKING APES

>>56536369
It sure as fuck will stop me. I have a 5S now. All I use my phone for is music, texting, calling, sometimes 4chan, and YouTube, so it has held up fine, but there's no way I'll be buying into Apple's shit this time. I need a removable storage option as well for music...

>>56536360
The phone will still have bluetooth.

>>56536415
This actually.

>>56536731
Nice bait.

>>56536749
>bait
great response hehe xD

>>56536696
So both those things didn't happen?

>>56536696
>http://www.apple.com/iphone-7/specs/

7.1 = 7.1

get fucked

>>56536749
Bluetooth headphones sound like garbage. Will this sound slightly less like garbage?

>>56536831
nope its still bluetooth
but magic because its a W1

>>56536543

the whole point is this:

WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I NEED TO BUY NEW PERIPHERALS FOR A DECADES-OLD STANDARD

>>56536381
Not him, but it can? I've never heard this. Got a link or something?

Because fuck what the people think

>>56536208
so you have to unplug your charging cable if you want to use headphones?

>>56536182
Haptic feedback that measures how hard you press on the button.

i.e. useless garbage that will irritate you by trying way too hard to predict what you want to do

Why do everyone here seems to think they took it out to make it thinner?

>>56536809
The 7 Plus is rumored to have 3GB instead of 2GB of ram. Has that been confirmed or what?

>>56537224
Pretty sure everyone here knows they did it to sell $160 wireless headphones.

I don't know what reason Apple claims to have, really would like to know actually.

Legit question: how often are you using your headphones while charging your phone?

I probably have done it once in my life

>>56537266
Courage.

>>56537324

This is true 97% of the time for me. Only that annoying time when I'm flying, charging with the in-seat USB, and wanna listen to music/podcast because of annoying crying baby.

>>56537324
when you're in a car. connecting your 3.5" into the aux

>>56537324
Never because iPhones make a buzzing noise that you can hear on your speakers if you do that.
They have always been a bad joke in the tech industry.

>>56537169
i.e more useless than the Kinect

>>56537043
How do you think it sends an analog signal to the phone connector?

>>56537416
most modern cars connect by usb directly. the next step back in time is bluetooth.

my car uses aux as well but i'm willing to admit that my car is old, and more importantly car manufacturers are nothing short of the most niggardly niggers in the universe. they're heinously slow on the upkeep with technology.

>>56536208
That's incorrect, there is analogue pass threw on the adapter

>>56537490
What are you talking about? Do you have a source showing it can pass analog sound or not?

>>56536176
How does the internal DAC help run headphones on a digital port you fucking retard?

it cannot, the adapter has its own DAC

USB-C on the other hand, does actually support analog audio

if lightning could into analog, why does the lightning to 30pin adapter need a DAC?
