I have no complaint when it comes to headphones, as I have a couple decent Bluetooth pairs for different activities.
Where this becomes annoying however, is in my car, which does not have CarPlay and terrible Bluetooth. It does have an Aux input, but I of course want to keep my phone charged while playing. So I have to have my $40 third-party adapter which allows both simultaneously.
This is a serious shortcoming for such a common use case, Apple.
It's a common mistake. Your forgiven. lolAh sorry. Didn't realize you represented everyone. My bad.
You don't buy Macs either, just illegally install their software on your own hardware.
Thank you for your service. *salute*You're a real hero.
Super Pathetic on so many levels. Apple sucks balls! Removing a standard is not innovation. Also keeping your crap proprietary lightning port instead of switching to USB C like all other apple products is retarded. So glad I've switched to Android.
Everything about this post is childish. Good luck on Android.
That's because your wrong. LOL
AirPods are nice said:In comparison to other truly wireless headphones (Samsung, Bragi, etc), which is what they should be compared to, Apple significantly undercut the market.
VGA, eSATA, Firewire, Parallel, ADB, RS232...
I agree 100%. I think removing the headphone jack should have come with or after wireless charging. That's way you could do both, but have an option of how. I ran into this problem last week when I upgraded the iOS. The adapter I was using for my 11 year old vehicle would no longer work with my phone. I was quite upset as I didn't even know where my headphone dongle was.I still wish the 7 had a standard headphone jack. It's happened many times where I have to choose between listening to something on my phone and charging it. I end up just draining that battery down to the bottom before plugging it in. What makes it worse are those fake speaker holes that replaced it, staring me in the eyes when I plug it in to charge it.
I can safely assume that you don't care the sound quality of your music. There's nothing wrong with that if it's good enough for you listening over Bluetooth headphones. They have the convenience over the wired ones. But when I'm working out I care less about the sound quality. But when I have to sit down and relax jamming to my music gotta have my wired ones.Impressive. Went Bluetooth about 4 years ago and haven't looked back.
Good on Apple for having the converter for another year.
according to Barclays.
analysts believes
Jobs would have never allowed this.But he's not, so let's stop bringing this hypothetical into every thread.
Relevance?
Apple really has to choose the lesser of two evils.
1. Make a proprietary connector that does everything you want it to do, design it to be as future-proof as possible, and be in total control of that connector. On the flip side, it will be more expensive and less convenient for your customers due to the proprietary nature.
2. Use the standardized connector which will be less expensive and more convenient for customers. On the flip side, it requires giving up control and accepting whatever requirements and rules that the standard-setting organization forces on you, said organization being primarily controlled by Intel, and paying royalties and fees for every device sold. Also, there is no guarantee that future revisions of the standard will include features you want.
Is there a 3rd choice? Between these two, I would also make a proprietary connector if I was in charge at Apple. USB-IF is a mess of an organization.
I wonder what Steve Jobs would have to say about adding a dongle into the mix if he were still alive today...
But he's not, so let's stop bringing this hypothetical into every thread.
You are right. Remove all ports . Wireless is the future, silly that USB-C is offered .....
