I'm not so sure this is such a deterrent for Apple. I already have to
carry around separate charging/data cables for Apple since Apple uses a
proprietary format over the standard USB options. In fact, having a
proprietary headphone jack may mean an additional revenue stream for Apple.

Hi Sieghard. But do you want to have to carry separate headphones for
your iDevices, and standard headphones for everything else. The 3.5 jack
is a functional, universal standard. All the other non-Appple devices
you use are not about to adopt the Lightning port. It's going to cause
disastrous fragmentation.

I am not familiar enough with the issues around hearing impairments

that if Jonathan says it is then there are very good reasons.
Strictly from a headphone availability perspective one thing is almost
certain and that is that we'll see a ton of lightning cable headsets
in a very short time if Apple really goes ahead with this. The
accessory market for Apple products is just too big for all the major
players not to jump onto this bandwagon.

I don't like the idea; it's just another piece to keep up with. It's
very simple to keep the jack instead of this craziness. Believe me,
I'm letting Apple Know what I think of the idea.

I suspect this is going to happen, and I really don't see any problem
with buying an adapter for existing headphones to use to plug into the
lightning port.

Subject: iPhone seven rumors
Sent from my iPhone hello, as you all may know you might have heard of
some
rumors claiming that the next iPhone will not have a headphone jack. So,
this might not be a good thing for Apple to do this. But, reports are
also
saying that they might use the lightning connector that you use to charge
the iPhone to use it as a headphone jack. But, that means that in
order for
somebody's headphones to fit into that Jack, they will need to support a
lightning connector for the headphones. I don't know what the
companies will
think about this change if it happens. Remember, if this rumor is true,
please email Apple and tell them not to do this. Also, people might think
that if there wasn't a headphone jack, we might still be able to use
Bluetooth. But, this might not be what somebody else lights. Having a
headphone jack is better. What will also happen to any Bluetooth speakers
that people own? These speakers might have a headphone jack connected to
them and might require that you plug it into the headphone jack in
order to
use. I hope that Apple does not make this move because it might not do
any
good for them. The iPhone sales might go down. We would not want that to
happen just because Apple made this change. Please remember, the
iPhone 7 is
still in the making and these are just rumors. As long as we tell
Apple what
we want, who knows, they might listen to us. But, we can't just keep
quiet.
We need to try.
Thank you.
