They are cutting manufacturing prices to increase income, it has little to do with having a thin phone.

Fuck that, I would flipped her off the door. She was on the damn lifeboat and jumped back on

My samsung is better. Apple doesn't have jack.

I love that you guys are making a bigger deal out of a missing headphone jack than Samsung's phones LITERALLY EXPLODING.

Hit the road Jack and don't cha come back, No more no more no more no more, Hit the road Jack and don't cha come back, No more.
Trashgarbage
Anyone trying to defend the headphone jack, just don't. Shouldn't be possible that anybody still buys from a company like this.
MooseGoneMeh
This is a worse photoshop of one on the FP yesterday :/
SandovalMau

LukewarmBeans
This is the best one, everybody else go home.
ineedabout3fiddy
On a side note, people who geometrically try to prove that jack can actually fit on the door don't realize that it would sink.

IAmAHollow
Apple is simply doing what its always done: enforce brand loyalty by making apple products synergize so well relative to the competition
CorrectMostOfTheTime
They dont synergize well they make everything proprietary so NOTHING works but apple stuff.
IAmAHollow
Literally my point. The character limit prevents eloquence, unfortunately.
Rantaf
Also, setting the bar by removing the things that others would say is necessary. Like CD-rom, USB and now aux. It won't matter in the end.
SciGuy
But... Apple was nowhere near the first to remove the CD drive from their laptops, they still use USB ports, and this is just dumb.
Rantaf
Time will tell.
TakeThePill53
They also weren't the first to remove the 3.5mm jack from a phone.
btow
2015 Macbook has no USB-A ports, only a singular USB-C which is also used for charging.
SuperPickle17
you are implying people actually use macbooks for things other than browsing facebook.

There'd be no reason for anyone to die if one of those talking mattresses was in the water

Lol

Or if rose gave jack the life jacket
Toqueman
Because the life jacket protects from the cold?
pianostacatto
An enchanted life jacket with +12% cold resistance.

Or if he sat his ass down on the iceberg.

on top of that life jacket. boom insulation. no more cold butts.

Thanks I guess XD

You're very welcome. Thank you for your creativity.

At least our phones don't explode.
strawberrymaker
just to clarify. it was a fault from the battery manufacturer, who had a problem with a run. only 42 of 1M notes have that problem
strawberrymaker
and it really isnt an explosion, rather a heaty expansion like its common with lithium phones. happened to a 3gs of a friend
esgedi
The failure rate of apple products is orders of magnitude higher than those batteries.
zerothoughtgiven
Lol I dunno about that, had a 3GS I was using just to bring to the gym for music. The music stopped and I thought the battery died. Exploded
zerothoughtgiven
It expanded like a microwavable bag of popcorn and split the screen right up the middle. Just glad it was in my bag and not my pocket.

Is there some kind of lightning to 3.5mm adapter that Apple will sell me for $30?
thatanonymoususer
$9, and one comes with the phone
strawberrymaker
yes 9$. prepare to buy 30 of them, because you will loose them so fast
DrBarrelRoll
it actually comes included with the phone, as well as regular digital earbuds. The space in the phone was used for much louder speakers.
ibeandrew
Oh. Well then I don't really see a problem with that. People just like to be upset, I suppose.
Rantaf
People love jerking off i circles*
SciGuy
Using it prevents you from charging your phone.
Duhanyul
Yeah I don't know why people are flipping shit it literally comes with the adapter.
SciGuy
Using it prevents you from charging your phone.
kfigs
This. This is my main problem. Not able to charge and listen on trains, etc, and keeping up with a myriad of adapters.
kfigs
BTW, I do have wireless headphones, but when your battery is suffering, Bluetooth is not helpful.
rileydabozo
Two cameras and no headphone jack... Plus a new $160 wirelesa headphone product for them to make even more money
WhatsAGoodUsernameForThis
they have a headphone jack adaptor I honestly don't get what the big deal is
Turdnado
I think they will make the most money from all the free publicity they are getting just by removing a stupid jack.
IridescentLotus
Why 2 cameras?
DocBrown88
This just in, they give you a dongle, which you can also buy for $9 if you loose it, that also you to jack in. I still think it's a dumb 1/2
DocBrown88
Idea, but I find this anger ridiculous when it comes from people that dropped $200+ on a set of headphones.
kfigs
As a total Apple fan-girl, I'm furious they did this!
IDontWannaSay
As another total Apple fan-girl, I used to be, but then I remembered I have never seen a sci-fi movie with regular headphones. Now I'm (1/2)
IDontWannaSay
Just waiting fo them to make it more practical while enjoying my dear 5s with its jack xD (2/2)
zellar2020
As a 6+ owner I'll just keep my ritual of only owning the even numbered iPhones :P
IDontWannaSay
I love it. That's probably the best ritual. I like the 5s better than the 6, but now I might just have to buy #9 x)
antidentite22
Buy it if you want, nobody's strong arming you into it. Stop cribbing like a little child.
thatsal
Exactly I see everyone on imgur complaining about it like their exploding Samsung is superior; it's just a phone and you don't gotta buy it
HelloMax
This just in: corporations aim to increase profits year-over-year.
fissnoc
As the old business saying goes, if you're not growing, you're declining. Especially true of large corporations though.
Turdnado
The hell you say? They aren't all charities like Facebook?
Jusmar
I'm still waiting to hear back if my likes have cured those children's cancer
Exowe
I'm pretty sure Apple is aiming at having all the money, all of it.
HarryPotterReferenceProbably
Every single money.
Calculussucks
But... You can get perfectly good Bluetooth headphones for like $25...
esgedi
You're missing the point. Bluetooth is and always will be vastly inferior to a physical connection. A $5 set of monk earbuds will trump (1)
GoCorral
In fairness, the $160 Apple ones have a lot more functions than a $25 set.
MidiArbite
Bluetooth is a security weakness.
Calculussucks
What do you have on your phone that is going to need to be secured?
HenaK9
Everything.
strawberrymaker
totally not. Far from perfect, trust me
DoesYourMomStillHavePizzaBagels
He didn't say perfect he said perfectly good! So they are just the perfect example of something that's merely 'good'.
Nomulus
Are you a politician? With a save like that you sound like one.
DoesYourMomStillHavePizzaBagels
No I'm not but I'll take that as a compliment...even though it could easily be an insult!
esgedi
ANY bluetooth headset, period. Bluetooth is in no way a replacement for the 3.5mm jack. (2)
Calculussucks
I have never experienced a lower quality. I quite like using Bluetooth. perhaps I just have crappy headphone choice?
strawberrymaker
Bluetooth wasnt meant to push high bitrate audio. So yeah
Calculussucks
I don't use high bit rate music generally. I prefer storage capability over "amazing" quality, mostly because I don't hear much of a diff.
Calculussucks
I do get it though. for those people who enjoy paying $100 or more for headphones, the lack of a jack would be upsetting.
OcelotMatrix
But some people already have 300 dollar headphones.
Calculussucks
That does actually suck, and I didn't think about that. tis a bummer. apple is dumb anyway. Android is better IMHO.
mybrothersmario
Might not be $300, but I have my $200 Audio Technica ATH-AD900X, but I'd also not buy an iPhone, so I'm not their target demographic.
Calculussucks
Haha. Same for me (not the headphones, but the target demographic bit).
OcelotMatrix
Yep but now they made sure you aren't their target demographic. 100$, $200, 300$, expensive is relative, equal/greater sound quality is not.
Ivajl
I wonder how they will handle audio/video sync with BT headphones
Calculussucks
Hmmm... I didn't think about that.
strawberrymaker
Works actuallz relatively good with like expensive bluetooth speakers like jbl. Still sound quality is different
DrBarrelRoll
the airpods are a completely separate, non-mandatory purchase. there are a pair of digital earbuds, as well as an adapter for old headphones
esgedi
"Digital earbuds", also known as bluetooth with apple encryption.
thatlamer
The adapter (which is $9 for 2 inches of copper wiring and some white plastic) doesn't come packed in either.
playstation360
The adapter may have a bunch of electronics in it too.
Chergam
The adaptor is definitely included
DingGratz
It's included in the box.
overlysexualisedroastduck
Now look, our upset one of apples many sheep.
terraomnia
Where Apple leads, other companies will follow...
philcollinsdrumbreakdown
Yeah, like with Thunderbolt and Lightning connectors. Oh wait, there's just USB-C...
Cjamhampton
I don't think this is true anymore.
Muttons1337
Im about to sound really old here, but what are digital earbuds?
Rantaf
Not analog. They use the lightning connector instead of the now removed aux.
strawberrymaker
theoratically, the headphones are still analog. but the DAC and Amp has moved from the phone into the headphones itself.
strawberrymaker
[2]that doesnt make them sound better, but can result into a bad sound experience. the internal dac from the iphones was more than good
SciGuy
But... they are analog. They just offloaded the converter from the phone to the ear buds.
Rantaf
The connection isn't analog is what I meant. :)
Muttons1337
Again, you're gonna have to slow it down for me. The lightning connector is the charging port? So it's still using wires? That's digital?
Rantaf
The signal is digital. Speakers need to make the music go from digital to analog to play music through a converter(DAC). In phones, this1/2
Rantaf
Also, do you think all information is analog AS long as a wire is required? If that were true, there would be nothing that'd be digital.
DaCrazyBeggar
but did they make 2 ports? no. charge OR listen. plugging it into the Car? you can but you'll have no battery left, or charge and no music.
Silver
Orrr, you could get a USB car radio so you can do both at the same time???
shonamanik0905
So I would need a new car? No thanks. Happy with my Galaxy s7.
Silver
Who said anything about a new car? In mine I can just pop the radio in and out to change it for a different one
Honorius77
Join the future and get Bluetooth in your car for$20, great audio, no cables. Charge away.
DocBrown88
Or an aftermarket player that has usb inputs. Charge and play at the same time! Welcome to 2013!
MorganFreemansLeftNipple
Belkin have announced a 2 port lightning adapter. £35 but if you're buying a new Iphone then you're already moneybags McGee anyway.
sgtcoffman
With Apple doing this, they should include a 2 port adapter as well. What a monstrosity that would be lol.
damspam
Always the counterpoint: "Well they have the adaptor" IT USED TO BE BUILT INTO THE FUCKING PHONE. That was the convenience of smartphones
DaCrazyBeggar
GREAT let my put it by my other 17 fucking adapters or better yet, with my other cables so they can get tangled.
MorganFreemansLeftNipple
Did you look it up? The cable is only a few cm long, not likely to get tangled. As for 17 adapters, really? Pretty sure you can cut down.
BiggestofBears
Not if you have an upgrade available....pretty close to the same price as every other top phone.
MorganFreemansLeftNipple
But the option is there if you want to take it. Besides most modern car radios take music through usb anyway for Iphones at least.
DaCrazyBeggar
why is apple going backwards with their hardware?
GerhardRammelhausen
next thing they do is no ports. then you need to charge wireless.
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
More unnecessary accessories = more money in their pockets
sgtcoffman
If you really read about what they are doing, they aren't. I am very interested in their new Bluetooth chip and what it can do. 1/2
