Only reason I bought wireless beats in the first place was.... CLEARANCE! Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered, they are vastly over priced for the quality of sound they put out.
Got a tip for us?

Yup, Ethernet will always be around for Servers, Wifi Access points, desktops, and docking stations (5K TB3 Display). I'd be perfectly fine if I never saw it on a laptop again though.
lol they have to fill the time somehow for what looks so far to be a pretty lackluster event.
Agreed... but we all know that won't ever happen. Why? Don't know, but it just makes TOO MUCH sense for them to do something like that (improve it), they don't roll like that.
Apple could pay Chris Brown to come on stage and do a BLM rant
followed by him sitting down during the national anthem,
ending with Tim tossing him a bag of guilt money
saying Apple is a beacon of civil rights justice.
Hopefully Dre and Chris don't assault any women during the event.
You act like a child who spies on what s/he would get for Christmas by following MacRumors etc.
Then, when you indeed get what you already spied out, you are disappointed.
In what world does Apple owe you anything and what have you created?
There are tons of hard working people at Apple and affiliates to bring (what they think is the best) products of a certain category.
We can argue that we have different opinions about what is best, but that is only our personal opinion.
The next consumer sees it all differently. Apple has done well for me with what I do.
Whatever products were/are subpar, were discontinued quickly or I don't buy. Just trying to be objective.
Until YOU create something, sell it and have a product presentation you have no right to criticize an Apple event.
Just don't watch it and don't buy Apple products.
Oh no!!!!!!!!!! No headphone jack! Before we know it they will remove it from the Apple Watch. Wait a minute......, it was never there and nobody complained. I just hope the iPhone has a scsi port, that really is a deal breaker.
Why is it that guys always say "My wife's cat" but "OUR" dog?! LOL!
Fitting a headphone jack in a watch is a bit different than fitting one in a phone. Not to mention the impracticality of having a wired connection to your wrist.
People really like to slam Beats, but they actually are pretty good.I really do like my Solo 2 headphones - they've worked really well for me. However, one thing I would like to see would be a lightning input on the Solos for charging. As it is now the Beats are the only device I need to charge on a regular basis that use the micro USB input and it'd be nice to not have to carry another cable around. A small issue for sure, but it would be nice.
I don't get all the hate towards Beats. Even if they made them "clearly superior" people could only picture themselves CONSIDERING buying a set of Beats. They're already pretty good, and if Apple poured R&D into making them obviously better than any competitor, I would definitely want a pair.
What? Are you serious? Beats is pretty much a license to print money. Most popular brand of headphones. Most marketshare, most revenue, and... Apple's specialty... most profit. Why in the world would Apple get rid of that? There are a huge number of headphone buyers who don't care about Apple or Apple products. They like their Beats though. People derided the Beats purchase as too expensive and too un-Apple like. From a business perspective, Beats was the smart choice. That brand, like them or not, is what sells. It definitely wasn't the quality of the sound. To be fair, even that has improved greatly. A logo-less set of Apple headphones would slice all of that sweet, sweet Beats profit that I'm sure Apple executives love.
Is there any actual information about the new headphones, or simply that new headphones will exist? Because that was already obvious.
By removing the port, Apple does not have to include a component and the associated manufacturing labor. That decreases production cost. Since Apple does not lower the price of products that have fewer components, that means they get a larger profit margin.
Did you clear this post with your brain before releasing it to your fingers? That analogy is sooooooooooo bad it makes me long for one of our infamous car analogies. It literally, figuratively, metaphorically, and (shout out to Jony Ives) unapologetically make no sense.
And the reason consumers love that Beats brand is because they want to love what their favorite celebrities claim to love. Those consumers ignore the facts that those celebrities are paid to say that they love the Beats products and they get the Beats products for free.
I just hope the SE gets updated, to include 3.5mm plug, when I'm in the market for a new phone. The choices will be very difficult, otherwise.
