My 5 year old compact car has a USB port that charges and feeds audio to the stereo. I was also considering Bluetooth headphones before the 7 came out so I guess I don't see the big deal.

over in iyg some rear end in a top hat who runs some lovely smartphone gaming blog is using the fact that 99.93% of the people who browse his site don't leave a comment as proof that the "no headphone jack" thing is overblown nerd poo poo

well drat, that's ironclad logic right there

Seriously how exactly does one swallow the idea that only nerds want headphone jacks, do all the "normies" out there have bluetooth headsets or are they all really jazzed to trade their regular headphones for Lightning headphones or what because y'know what that sounds like nerd poo poo to me

the potential for a direct lightning port to headphone allows for a purely digital connection which would increase the quality. headphone jacks are for analog scrubs.

That's good to know since I love my Shure noise blocking buds and won't buy a new anything for worse sound quality.

Still might just buy a 6s+ (my Android is a ZL, so about 4 years old, laggy, and I've got a ton of iOS games) but if this doesn't flop and they stick with this Lightning port stuff for a decade, it's good to know.

Yeah this is so bizarre, whenever you see anyone listening to music in public be it on the street, bus, gym, what have you- what headphones are they wearing? Probably not the kind that uses a proprietary jack.

Pff whatever you're just jealous that you can't distinguish 16bit from 24bit like I totally can. You see, it's much "sharper" and "fuller" and "broader" and other words that mean nothing.

this type of Jack was invented for telephone switchboards in the 1800s. Looking at a modern iPhone the 1/8" audio jack stands out as hugely incongruous and full of fail. Getting rid of it is 100% the right thing to do and now is the time to do it. fail phones (aka all non-iPhone "smartphones" ) will follow within 2 years at the very latest. LOL if you actually deny any of this. THE IPAD IS FAIL ITS JUST A BIG IPHONE DURRRERR -you guys in 2008 probably.

For gently caress's sake. Hold on to your God-damned 6 if you're so worried about this completely unimportant, innocuous poo poo that doesn't matter one loving whit to anyone, anywhere, for any reason. Oh no I have to spend $17 on some bluetooth headphones and I can't charge while listening, art is dead. Get a hobby or something.
