Hello Mary,
My point is simply that, unlike the era of
Jobbs, the market, plays an active role in what
the future brings. We, as consumers, have
alternatives and it's when we begin to explore
these alternatives that companies pay attention.
Given Apple's issue with iTunes for Windows and
its politically ridiculous decision to
unilaterally put albums in its users' accounts,
I'm not so certain that just because it decides
something it better will make it so.
I remember the fan fair Apple made about its
watch--they thought it would change the lives of
the world. Well, as far as I can tell, my world
hasn't changed one bit either with or without it.
As far as Samsung is concerned, I don't think
they'll be so quick to follow Apple's lead in
the coming future. As one of the executives of
Samsung recently said, "Samsung is at its best
when it leads, not when it follows."
My personal position is to just sit back, wait,
and see. Fortunately for me, I no longer have
the desire to run out and purchase the latest
device just because it is the latest.
Mark

3.5 mm jack issue on the iPhone seven
Hi Mark,
Of course, only time will tell. But I think you
are wrong about the disappearing headphone jack.
For one thing, Samsung put back the storage card
thing, but did not put back the user replaceable
battery. Also, if the other rumor is true, Apple
will be including compatible earbuds with the
new phone, as well as an adapter to make it
possible for people to use other headphones.
Given the prevalence of Bluetooth these days, I
suspect that the headphone jack will in fact be
gone from iPhones forever. Other device makers
are already moving in this direction. So it
isn't just Apple. In fact, they will not be the
first ones to market without a headphone jack on the phone.

This coming to light does not surprise me in the least.
