The HUMP again!!!! Jony, the back needs to be FLAT or CURVED like the iPhone 3S. NO disgusting WARTS or MOLES allowed. It looks horrible like the previous 3 versions.

thats because theres nothing yet better for a car than the wheel. if there were, they would drop it. a digital port is arguably better than an old analog port, which is why it will get dropped. even Intel is pushing for its removal in chipsets.

There's better tire technology that doesn't burst and requires virtually no replacement. Ever. They don't drop it because there's not as much money in that.

Similarly this "better" tech Apple is supposedly going to offer may be nothing more than a way to sell more adapters and certified headphones.

IMO going away from a standard to a proprietary ANYTHING is always bad news for the consumer.

Do you understand how headphones work? All you're doing is moving where the digital to analog converter is. In this case a digital port will only be better than the analog port if the DAC provided by the headphone manufacturer or adapter dongle is better than the DAC inside of the iPhone. It really has nothing to do with the port at all.

When I need music I go Bluetooth.

What if they shipped a headphone to lightning adaptor?

Ohh I dont know then!

Eight speakers would give Apple major bragging rights, something they thrive on.

You don't see car manufacturers dropping the wheel from their cars just because it's an old technology.

They would if something better came along.

Yawn. who really listens to music out of phone speakers anyway? make iOS and the apple music app better. In particular downloading my entire playlist to the phone and not stopPing half way through. annoying.

I'm with you on that! I'm hoping for a MAJOR bump in storage space, so I can fit my entire CD collection my phone - without using the cloud - not that I'll ever listen to it in one sitting, but it would be nice to pull up any song on a whim.
