How Will Wall Street React to No Headphone Jack?

Paypal's BT reader is £79 in the UK, are you sure about that $150?

According to their webpage it's $150. It's like $145 on Amazon.

Wall Street will just have to get used to it like the rest of us. Use Bluetooth or use the ear pods supplied or use the adapter. Apple has spoken.

Consumers will soon speak and make Apple realize the mistake!

Looks like stock went up. So the uptake looks positive.

Just to let anyone who might be reading this and wondering about the audio-jack-connected card readers, a few days ago David Pogue tweeted that the card readers did work with the 3.5 to lightning dongle.

Just confirmed this myself now on a "little" 7, with an iZettle reader. It works.

Stock keeps dropping though.

Where? It's been higher in the last week or so than it has been in the past few months.

It shot up the day before release and after its been constantly dropping from what I've observed

And yet still higher than what it has been in some months before.

Mostly people just like to fuss about change.

At first Audiophiles and complainers will be like:

Hmm, as an audiophile myself...the last thing I want to do is output anything over 3.5mm.

I've had Lightning headphones for over a year, so I can listen to 24-bit 96Hz FLAC files in full quality. That is a niche of niche of a niche, but definitely falls under the 'audiophile' label. I couldn't be happier about the removal of the headphone jack so that the market is forced to move toward higher quality audio experiences.

Only because there has been nothing new out. With the 6s it shot up but didn't drop like it has been this release, just interesting to see.

Considering there are so many factors in play with something like the stock market, looking at something on a scale of some days doesn't always necessarily point to anything in particular being behind it.

I also see a decently sized drop from mid-September last year to early October of last year than what has been happening in the past number of days. Compared to last year it has shot up more and fell off less at this point.

All of this is really neither here nor there and doesn't really seem to be that much different than many other instances and more specifically an indicator of anything in particular one way or another.
