By not giving users an analog output as an option and keeping the signal chain digital, you can start to enforce copy protection on audio like what is already done with HDMI (HDCP) and disallowing analog output on protected content unless it is degraded to a much lower but acceptable (to the content owner) quality.

The iTunes music catalog has been DRM-free for nearly a decade.

What if they detect a copyrighted song on lets say the twitch app? they can do everything at this point

IT'S THE HEADPHONE JACK, IT'S HOLDING ME BACK

IT'S ALL HIS FAULT

I mean, that's quite a bit of space in an already packed device

That's more of a problem for Twitch/Amazon to handle on its own. Apple isn't in the business of policing other companies' services unless they get out of control, in which case it can enforce App Store rules and pull the app.

The audio output that customers use is irrelevant to all this.

>that anyone who has ever dropped an iPhone in the toilet

what

If a modern phone shorts out, it's most likely due to the headphone jack. That's the only jack that's always powered.

It's pissphones lucky day

i call bullshit

Oh no

It's a meme innit? Now every phones will not have a headphone jack

How do you think headphones are able to push out sound without using a battery or plugging into an electrical outlet?

She faces into the shadow with her back in the light.

>remove headphone jack

>charge $160 for crappy wireless apple earbuds

genius

>and the kind of water resistance that anyone who has ever dropped an iPhone in the toilet has long wished for.

Guys how much do you think pissphone was being paid to shill apple on Sup Forums?

so is the device thinner because the jack is gone?

this gif is entrancing

i can't stop watching it

Anime magic

No.

No. It's the same size. We'll find out what they filled that small space with later though.

>later
$159.05

NSA chip :^)

>buzzfeed
You just know they are being paid to say all this

TRS (tip, ring, sleeve), has been around since 1880. TRRS, the 4-conductor variant for smartphones with stereo output and a mic in, has been around since 1998. It has been a Universal Standard on every form of device using headphones for output. Way to fuck things up, Apple! Now we'll have to buy a Lightning - TRS adaptor and remember to carry it around. Douche Nozzles U Are!

Paczkowski is known for getting big scoops on Apple rumors and access to Apple executives for post-Event interviews and fluff pieces.

>“Remember, we’ve been through this many times before,” says Schiller. “We got rid of parallel ports, the serial bus, floppy drives, physical keyboards on phones — do you miss the physical keyboards on your phone? … At some point — some point soon, I think — we’re all going to look back at the furor over the headphone jack and wonder what the big deal was.”

will Sup Forums ever recover?

This is what Sup Forums wants the iPhone to look like, but also with a 30-pin iPod connector, full-sized SD/CF/MMC multi-card slot, and Iomega Zip drive.

So is this thing actually properly water resistant, with an IP rating? Are Apple saying that they're unaware that water resistant audio jacks are a thing? My phone is IP68 and has a headphone jack (with no flap).

If Apple really cared about battery life and the camera they'd simply make the phone a couple millimetres thicker. Shit, the thing already has a goofy camera bump, they should just make it even.

That's like saying a serial port is powered.

>— that’s pure, paranoid conspiracy theory.”
whenever someone in a position of power calls something a conspiracy theory, it immediately perks my ears up and makes me more inclined to believe they're doing something to fuck people over because i know all these shitbags are slimy as fuck

This coming from the fags at apple who don't even allow expandable sd slots. Why do people insist on paying more for less?

youtube.com/watch?v=uVTrazT99Ps

>Why do people insist on paying more for less?

They're paying for something that works well and doesn't take a half-assed kitchen sink approach.

Why wouldn't you want expandable memory?

Because I'm not a hoarder.

They're just doing this for publicity. Plz stop giving them irl (you)s. Don't buy it and move on.

Can someone explain how Bluetooth audio could be superior to an audio jack?

>buzzfeed.com
Nigga, I ain't clicking that shit.

>do you miss the physical keyboards on your phone?
absofuckinglutely. I held onto my craphone for years until it actually fucking died because no new phones on the high end had physical keyboards. That was the best shit ever.

Removing things that work for no fucking reason when an objectively better standard in almost all ways does not exist is "progress' for the sake of it, or at worst milking consumers. In this case it's both.

>If a modern phone shorts out, it's most likely due to the headphone jack. That's the only jack that's always powered.

are you saying that if the headphone jack is shorted out like a kid sticking a paper clip in there or if the wire for your earphones accidentally shorts like dropping something sharp on them, your phone is surely going to die?

are you retarded?

If the drivers in the headset are good then it'll be better, and you don't have to deal with the jack getting damaged.

That being said, I have never heard good audio out of any of Apple's headphones.

>that’s pure, paranoid conspiracy theory
How about this one.

They removed it so they don't have to use an expensive DAC.

...

They still need a DAC for the new stereo speakers.

Someone clearly has no perspective on how these devices are packed to the fucking micron

>Oh no stop the presses, Apple just killed the audio jack!
>Thats it guys its official the audio jack is dead RIP 2016
>If your phone has an audio jack its an antique phone now lol!


Fucking hate applefags holy shit

Apple customers will tilt the entire consumer market in favor of wireless headphones.

Wired headphones will disappear into the prosumer/pro/audiophile market.

haha holy shit is that really the adapter?

Fucking hell it looks sillier than I thought it would. I don't even know what I was expecting either.

I wonder if they will make iPads and macbooks without it as well

Ahhhhhahahahahahah and Apple fags will eat this shit up

That was exactly how they showed it in the conference, they made it white with black plugs on either side, fucking bizarre.

Apple is all-in on wireless audio now, so yes.

I think he's referring to how much space sometime like the taptic engine (for 3D touch, a feature nobody uses) takes up in comparison

Wonder if they work with non-apple wireless headphones. If not then i'm gonna laugh so hard, enjoy ur 100$+ extra payment

Bluetooth support is the same as before, and AirPods are Bluetooth-based.

>mfw my 1$/month android shitphone on plan does errthing I want
what besides pretending to have not saved your mcdonalds wage to buy one to pretend to be rich does an iphone serve for?

>It was fighting for space with camera technologies and processors and battery life

This is pure bullshit, the headphone jack has been a part of the charging port assembly since the 5. It takes up zero extra space, since the internal part is about as long as the home button was tall It's barely longer than the charging port itself.

>all in on wireless
>ships iphone with wired earphones

no

Ok apple what did you add in it's place then?

$159.07

In a couple of years, AirPods will become the standard pack-in headphones, once the manufacturing cost comes down enough.

...

Will there be some sort of adapter to be able to charge your phone and use earbuds at the same time?
Would this have been as big of an issue if they would have added an extra lightening port or just seen even more of a jew move?

For what purpose?

Man that headphone jack sure is useless. Wonder if we can do something with it.

...

Me too, they are all the fucking same. Followers. Pathetic.

Which it technically is

the kickstand is the genius part

how come other phones are water resistant and have a headphone jack?

> that pic
That's fucking great, desu

The pursuit of thinness was a mistake.

holy kek

The cameras always get better than the last model

>the 3.5mm jack was preventing Apple from including a decent camera
Tell that to every other phone manufacturer who has been including both for years. Fucking hell, not only do they practically steal from people, they then lie to their faces and demand praise for fucking them over.

Nah, just an SD card slot, wireless charging, and a 3.5mm jack would be nice.

>I hate choice
FTFY

What, no removable battery or slide-out keyboard?

Should have gone all the way and removed all external connections, wireless charging and Bluetooth only and made it 100% waterproof.

The iPhone Cloud

Are you incapable of learning something new and/or coping with change? I imagine you hanging onto a dribbling busted shower head because it still works.

Removable battery might be nice, but I don't view it as a requirement. The people who want hardware keyboards on a smartphone should be burned alive.

Pretty sure they have a rubber flap or gasket. Rubber aint aesthetic my man.

>it's better to not have the option than to have it

Introducing normies to tech and internet was the worst mistake of this century

Why can't they just make the phone thicker and get rid of that god-awful camera bump in the process?

>The people who want hardware keyboards on a smartphone should be burned alive.
Fuck you faggot
>wanting 50 percent of your screen taken up by a on screen keyboard that has to rely on autocorrect to by useful in any way

>wahh nobody else should be allowed
>implying it was up to your NEET ass anyway

>fighting for space
It's a dumb excuse and anyone that removes a fucking INDUSTRY STANDARD STILL 100% RELEVANT GODDAMN interface is 100% retarded. Nobody cared when the floppy was killed because it was dying. Nobody cared when the CD/DVD drive was removed because it was dying. Nobody cared that a lot of things that got removed by someone or the other were removed because it was already on the way out.

But the goddamn headphone jack? THE GODDAMN HEADPHONE JACK? SOMETHING THAT IS UBIQUITOUS AND IN USE BY NEARLY EVERY FUCKING PERSON ON THE GODDAMN PLANET WITH AUDIO EQUIPMENT?

No, you fucks. Apple fucked up. Apple is trying to sell their own shit to idiots, as usual. Fuck them and fuck this retarded bullshit. I hope to fuck that bullshit like this kills smartphones.

You're literally hitler

Why do some of you have this autistic need to force other people to bend to your whims by playing to hyperbole? Are you some fucking child who can't go 5 minutes without being stimulated by something new and shiny regardless of if it works better or not? I like physical keyboards, and for playing games via emulator (which surprisingly it was able to do) it remains the superior option. Not mention everyday typing which was the primary function. I could type much faster and with less error on a physical keyboard. If there were more powerful phones with physical keyboards, I'd have gladly upgraded.

Why get rid of something with an important and superior aspect if nothing better exists just because it is old?

>Nobody cared when the floppy was killed because it was dying. Nobody cared when the CD/DVD drive was removed because it was dying.

Confirmed for underage and not actually living through the uproar and ridicule Apple caused on both occasions.

Wired headphones belong with the Walkman, not a modern mobile device. Stop being such a hysterical little bitch.

Theres a free adapter in the box. Also less that 10% of the userbase use wired headphones on a day-to-day basis.


>how dare they remove the integrated honky horn from this years bicycle models?!

This is what you sound like.

>hysterical little bitch
THIS
If you dont like that Apple removed the headphone jack, dont buy an iPhone 7.
Ranting on the internet and calling Apple retarded etc is nothing but a waste of your own time. Apple is a very large corporation and moves like this are planned and calculated well in advance. They made this decision for a reason. It may well be a very selfish one(money), but it is their decision to make. As a consumer you can chose to buy their products or not. Apple is willing to take that gamble. Settle down and wait and see if it was a good decision or not....hint: it will be in the long run, thats how large companies play the game.

>apple has such shit engineering that they can't make the phone waterproof without removing the headphone jack
>multiple companies have been able to do this with ease

Apple is really cashing in on that brand name.

kys

I can't help but wonder if someone is paying you to talk shit on people who actually want a basic fucking feature on a device. I bet you'll defend removing VGA on laptops too, you fucking nu-male faggot.

Confirmed for underage and not remembering that YES, BOTH TECHNOLOGIES WERE, IN FACT, DYING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. There was an "uproar" by normies that were surprised by it, and unaware that this technology was dying, but it wasn't nearly on the level of REMOVING SOMETHING THAT IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY ACTIVE BY EVERY SINGLE FUCKING PERSON IN THE WORLD. There has been ZERO indication that standard headphone jack use is on the way out or even decreasing in popularity among anyone. The fact that Apple is doing this shit is 100% about control and an attempt to subvert the industry, not simply accepting an inevitable trend.

Fucking children, I swear. Can you NOT be brainwashed by bullshit technology trends and think for yourselves for once?

Or are you just a paid Apple viral marketing FUD-spreading shithead?

Either way, shut your mouth.

I'll give up some screen space while I'm typing over carrying around a phone that's twice as thick and weighs three times as much.
