12. Hit The Road, Jack!
Headphone jack that is… removing such an impediment has allowed Apple to play around with the entire layout and design of the phone. They will be removing the headphone jack and replacing it with another speaker to symmetrically tighten up the bottom of the phone.
It would seem the days of placing your phone strategically in a red solo cup so that the echo would provide a more ‘concert type feel’ are over, perhaps not to the standard of a concert per se; it should provide a nice audio overhaul for music lovers.
Not surprisingly, Apple has received a lot of heat from would-be buyers about the need to purchase wireless headphones if any users wished to listen to music on their phones. Apple has countered with a ‘Lighting port jack’ that is compatible with standard headphone jack utilities. The ‘lightning port earpods’ and adaptor for old headphone jacks come included so don’t jump out of your chair just yet. Why remove the headphone jack? Space savers can always find a home with our cultures rapidly producing …well everything. Apple is simply giving us more of what we want…less that is.
