Apple replaced the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 with a fake

>>That jack takes up a lot of space in the phone, a lot of space. And there’s a lot of more important things we can provide for the consumer than that jack

Retardation.

I was trying to think of a reasonable explanation as to why this isn't a completely stupid idea (Compared to stereo speakers), but I can't think of one - it's really dumb. I mean at least it's channeled to the "taptic engine", so at least there's something, but what the fuck were they thinking?

Just re-read the iFixit thing, and holy crap, it's a "barometric vent". Fuck off Apple. Unnecessary.

They probably did a bunch of autistic research and found that this size is the best or something. Or maybe there aren't any extra components they could put in that other extra space, so they didn't want to extend it just for the jack. Or maybe they just hated the 3.5mm standard and wanted it to die, they're in the best position to try and force it. Or more likely, a combination of all these things and others.

Their investors seem to disagree. Apple stock price goes into the trash.

To be fair the 3.5 mm standard isn't terribly space efficient but now they've replaced it with something proprietary and requiring an external DAC. Not exactly space saving.

So who do they think is better to force the 3.5mm jack out? Because I said Apple's the best to try that, and you said they disagree with that.

Okay, that is irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Even if it's not smart to do, there are companies in better positions to do this. Apple is in the best position, and you claim the investors disagree with that. Who do the investors then think is in a better position?

the real reason to remove the headphone jack

Apple always has to be different. It's always never in a good way.

>>56653108
>No.
There are two options here. Either you were wrong about your claim that investors disagree with the notion that Apple is in the best position to force the 3.5mm jack out. Or the investors do think something is in a better position to force the 3.5mm jack out.
So, which is it? If you just go back to saying no, or nobody, or something else that isn't a choice between these two options, then you can only be a shitposter.

>Why can't you motherfucker grasp the idea that trying to replace the jack is a bad idea? Apple or not this is bad and will make any company suffer.
I did not comment on if this is a bad idea, and I will not post whether or not I think this is a bad idea or why because it's irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

>>56652666
Satan, do you want to tell me you call yourself an outdoorsman, but you have to measure your altitude with a phone instead of a proper /out/ watch? That's so unfortunate.

You faggots are going to feel really stupid in 2 years when every phone has done away with that headphone jack garbage and type c usb is the standard.

Why is everyone so naive about this issue? This was obviously done to add a feature called DRM. Obviously it's not good for you, the consumer, but Apple has different interests.

That's not going to happen for another 4-6 years. First we need to bluetooth headphones that aren't a piece of shit and have at least 1 month of battery life with a percentage on the host device of how much charge they have left. Fast charging to top it all off (ie less than 30 minutes).

>>56654189
none of them

Why doesn't Apple just do hardware updates every 2 years and work on making iOS more useful than a flaming pile of shit? If they allowed people with the $99 a year dev accounts to jailbreak whenever, downgrade, self sign firmwares temporarily, and have some kind of recovery similar to Androids then I would buy a 256GB iPhone 7 Plus in a heartbeat, headphone jack or not. The hardware is fine for the most part. It's the software which stops me from buying iShits.

Erm you don't need to record songs off iTunes. Just copy the files, they don't have DRM.

>>56655176
even if they made no adapters, or took steps to prevent third party DACs from working
you could still, worse case, dismantle a pair of wired earphones, take the wires that go to the speakers, and attach those to a 3.5mm jack to record from

>>56655215
And get worse quality in the process

>>56655215
thats too hard for most people

right now a person can just plug their phone into a speaker system and play shit off itunes or tidal or some shit and they're a dj

>>56655215
Thats really going so fucking far out of the way just to make a 3.5mm jack work.

>>56652654
dont u mean 7s.

>>56655256
like i said, worst case

it's effectively the same result as their current 3.5mm adapter

there's nothing they can do to prevent this, as speakers themselves need to be fed a plain analog signal

>>56653039
So instead of making all headphones useless you make half of all headphones useless.

>>56652216
what's the per-device royalty for lightning?

I'm guessing this is the bigger influence over dropping the 3.5mm jack, so that every pair of dongle-less corded headphones nets them revenue.

Well when I'm due for a new phone at work later this year, I'm going to replace my iPhone 6 with a 6s. I will then hold on to it until it's shit, and then switch to something with a headphone jack.

No headphone jack, no sale. I'll keep my 6 and look for something else next. Same stale product with outdated screen.

>>56655324
I might do this also, AT&T is offering $650 for any 6 or 6s trade in towards a 7, so I could upgrade for $100 from my 6 but the lack of headphone jack is killing it for me.

Apple shouldve just released their wireless earphones, that's it. Keep the aux jack, its used by normies in cars all the goddamn time.

Maybe with success in selling wireless earphones they could push for an iPhone 7s or 8 that doesn't have an aux jack.

Right now its just pure 'we want you in our lockeddown ecosystem' and money grabbing.

>>56655156
This is wrong though
http://www.gsmarena.com/iphone_7_has_a_1960_mah_battery_iphone_7_plus_reaches_2900_mah-news-20469.php

For approximately 0.5 seconds every iphone release I seriously consider switching to Apple only for my smartshit. I have stopped using my phone for media consumption and therefore don't care about adblockers, file browsers, extensions in browsers, OS customization, sideloading applications etc

However, Apple never fails to fuck their newest release to new levels
-remove jack and do not include the wireless headset for a ~700USD+ flagship (instead you need to buy a 5hr 160USD set yourself)
-1080p 401ppi IPS, (like it's 2013 and the 400USD MSRP Nexus 5 never existed)
-muh camera like every iphone release, waterproofing innovashiun as if it's not a standard on any flagship
-on top of all this I have to use iOS which has no flexibility outside the stock experience
The iphone 7 is about three years behind if you don't count the COURAGE of removing the jack

Then again, it wouldn't increase their bottom line by over $150...

I just realized that people are going to end up:

-Having one airpod go out because the lithium batteries will give out at different times due to variability in battery cycle capabilities
-Fuck up one by random chance, leaving a single earbud to play ("Why does this band sound like shit?" they'll say during stereo mixed albums)

This is the joke we truly deserve

Personally, I would never spend money on anything apple. I was given an iPhone 5 by my brother that works as a cell phone tech, and the only redeemable quality about the phone is the App Apowersoft that lets me share my screen to my laptop to screencap and record without anyone knowing (snapchat). Except the only thing is, I can do the same thing on my Nexus 5 and I didn't have to pay 40 bucks for the app.

Iphone 8 will release very soon next year with old features changed slighty e.g the home button and will be marketed extremely succesfully as featuring an all new HEADPHONE JACK.

Sales will do well because people will be super phsyched on this "new" feature.

Its embarrassingly simple marketing techniques but it will work like always

>phones without a useless 4k screen are shit. 1080p is the perfect resolution for a 5.5" screen android or ios. wasting resources on 4k rendering just so you can market a phone as "better" is fucking ridiculous.

>We've completely removed the battery but your phone can now fit in your wallet, just plug it into the wall to make calls.

because people are idiots, anon. its hard to believe, but even with how accessible education is, people are still too stupid to educate themselves about the things they surround themselves with.

instead of googling, they complain and buy and return.

In a world without morons, we woldnt even need money as a middleman in our lives.

Did they really remove the movement from the home button, only to replace it with a tapitytap engine that replicates the feel of pushing a button??

Yes they did.

the button is no longer a button
but it acts like a button
and it feels like a button

something that everybody was asking for
but they didn't know it, yet

buttons are a thing of the past
