And the Lightning Dock connector is a far more functional connector than
the Headphones socket is.
Actually the headphones socket used by Apple isn't universal at all, its
been adapted by Apple to suit there needs.
If you look at an Apple Headphone socket for want of a better
description you'll see it has extra terminals for the plug for example
for one thing.
The Minijack you'll find in your standard walkman device will likely
have 3 terminals, in your standard bedside radio 2 terminals - if its
only mono - but on the IOS devices it contains 5 terminals and obviously
the more terminals that are put on one of those plugs then the more
flimbsy is the whole arrangement.

exactly! the headphone socket was a lot more universal, as it could be used for
more than just headphones.
a good situation I can think off for example, is that there are now some very
good musical instrument apps available for the iPhone, which make life a lot
easier for blind musicians. with the problems, especially the delays associated
with bluetooth, and the dock/lightning port already being taken up with a music
keyboard, what is left to get audio from the iPhone in to an amp or mixer? the
good old headphone socket.

Hi,
Bluetooth quality lacks in various ways.
It can't transmit uncompressed audio and there is a slide delay in time as
well.
Toilet paper is more than a hundred years old and is stil being used. Smile

There’s a very good reason they’re removing the plug, if they take the plug
away then the phone can be made thinner.
I’m not fazed by such a decision myself as there are work arounds if I
really wanted to use an older pair of headphones.
A Bluetooth adapter might be one way around it or perhaps a dedicated pair
of headphones that run from the dock of the iPhone which sound better than
the analogue phones anyway due to their direct digital design.
Technology is always changing and those sockets are 50 years old in design
at least, you don’t see iPhones using valves do you? Imagine how big they’d
be if they did.

Hi,
It's a real shame. We are many, who like the analog style headphones
so I'll skip this update and stay with 6S.
Any reason why they're removing the plug? I mean they don't take up
much space.
Best regards
Brian

I can't wait to see what the new headphones are like, and even what
they can do now that they have digital capabilities. It might not be
just audio that goes through them.
