Re: Some interesting rumours regarding 3.5 mm jack issue on the iPhone seven

Hi Mary I have the Apple Watch Sport myself and like it a lot. Yes, watchOS 3.0 will have some great new accessibility features, but for now you can turn a setting off that wakes the screen when you raise your wrist. I have done this, and the watch no longer interrupts my daily living. I can

Hi Mary, one can only hope. And that's why all the agitation, the online petition that gained over 300,000 signatures, and the publicity has been so important. It was absolutely critical to raise these issues at a time when design tweaks could be made, which is precisely why I raised the alarm

I'm in full agreement with you mark. The headphone jack removal has a huge negative accessibility impact for me personally, and I have to hope the inconvenience factor will cause Apple to regret the day they did this and reverse it. I frequent a forum for IT professionals here in New Zealand.
