Taking the headphone jack off phones is user-hostile and stupid
Found on The Verge on Thursday, 23 June 2016
Another day, another rumor that Apple is going to ditch the headphone jack on the next iPhone in favor of sending out audio over Lightning.
But just face facts: ditching the headphone jack on phones makes them worse, in extremely obvious ways.
In the end, Apple evangelists will swallow the bitter pill and move on. With that, the analog loophole is dead; just like your current headphones.
