Never said they were. If you look closely I was replying to a comment about "getting over" missing a VGA port.
This is the thing
Note 7 is thin and slim as anything with the headphone Jack so it's not a good excuse on apples part as the reason to remove it
No, there are tons of iFans pissed at Samsung mocking the great Fruit logo.
Samsung galaxy s8 will not include an audio 3.5 jack. U hear it first here.
Apple will indeed suffer some slings and arrows for removing the 1964 3.5mm (1/8") analog headphone jack. If they can deliver some interesting value added to replace and complement it, it will be adopted slowly over time like another radical idea. Macintosh.
Bluetooth 4.0+ is the new 1964 3.5mm (1/8") analog headphone jack.
I have NEVER used mine. On any iPhone, EVER. Wanna buy my pile of earbuds?

Because Apple will do what the hell they like with their products, regardless of what anyone wants, and you'll still buy them? I really don't know why people are even wasting their time over this. Apple will do what Apple will do and people will still love them.
The point being that if Apple do remove the headphone jack, for whatever reasoning they have, it won't affect your life.
You do have a point there...

It affects my 401k. Probably yours, too.
While a pain, isn't it rumored to come with the adapter? 3.5mm to lightning?
Maybe some people here in the forum are too young or never used phones back in 2001.
Nokia didn't have a headphone jack. Needed to use their supplied headphones with that 15 pin connector.
Many Motorola, Samsung and windows mobile phones used mini USB headphones or proprietary headphone connectors.
People wouldn't care and used what was supplied with the phone even if it was the worst crap.
Remember those days?

USB-C, edge to edge screen, waterproofing, audio jack... they get respect. If Apple won't beat it the next year, and truly beat by all means, not release an ugly curved shadow of this year Samsung phone, then things won't change for the better. At least while Cook is CEO.
I don't understand their insecure need to mock Apple. It's true that Samsung sells more phones than Apple does, but Apple sells more high-end phones than Samsung. That is a fact. Since Apple is Samsung's customer, they should show Apple more gratitude rather than mock Apple and its customers. I refuse to buy anything made by Samsung because they don't respect Apple's intellectual property, and they pull stupid marketing stunts like mocking iPhone users as "wall huggers", making fun of Apple customers lined up to buy the latest and greatest iPhone. Why would I want to buy products made by ******s like that? Also, what's the big deal about the removal of the headphone jack anyway? Until Apple announces that they're doing it, why worry about it? If you don't like not having the headphone jack, don't buy the new iPhone.
Well the 3.5mm jack wasnt going to last forever, it was going to be replaced eventually. So why not replace it with a port that not only do you offer on your own products, but also every other competitor will eventually use.
Also if I am not mistaken doesn't USB-C offer more features tech wise (like faster speeds, wider variety of things you can do with it, etc) over the lighting port? Imagine if you could charge your laptop and phone with the same cable? Or if your headphones you use on your MacBook you could immediately use on your iPhone without needing an adaptor?
My issue is more that If I buy 2 products from apple (MB & Ip7), I have to use an adaptor to use my headphones....
Those days when you carried a separate mp3 player? Ya, that's what gave the opening for the original iPhone to be such a massive revolution.
Samsung is the ugly step-child that tries so hard to seek attention, by pretending to ridicule the very thing that they really worship and love, and hopes to be one day when it grows up. It's just sad and pathetic.
Really wish I wasn't so tied into Apple's ecosystem. Samsung tech sounds incredible. Water resistance, huge resolution, expandable storage. I want that over what Apple currently offer, so the next iPhone better be something good.
Strange days these.

Hmm, I'd be surprised if it was included for free. This is Apple at the end of the day. Also, I don't think they gave away adaptors when moving from 30-pin to lightning.
No one. But if you have any index funds, you own AAPL. If they send out a dud, it's going to hit you in the wallet. No one is forcing anyone to buy it, obviously. But it does matter if this is a dud release.
I remember those days, those adapters were awful. Why do we want to go back?
Spoken like an Apple fanboy who doesn't know anything yet feels the need to say something negative about Samsung.
How was Samsung able to exist and grow for nearly 68 years (Samsung was founded in 1938) prior to the introduction of the iPhone if they haven't been able to sell anything?
Since you dislike Samsung so much, that must mean you do not own a single Apple product that has a Samsung component in it, right?
