Hi Scott, when it comes to Apple rumours, it's important to look at their source, and whether they have a track record of accuracy. We're seeing credible sources suggesting that Apple may be holding an event in March to launch the Apple Watch 2. Since the iPhone 6C if it eventuates would be using the same chips that are already being produced for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it will be launched then. If there is to be an iPhone 6c, Apple won't want it overshadowing the iPhone 7 announcements. Those phones will of course be the current screen sizes. As for the headphone jack issue and your comment that people are being bent out of shape about it, again it's important to consider how credible the source is. We know that Apple has been thinking about the issue because they patented their own proprietary headphone jack, and then they introduced specs for made for iPhone headphones that use the Lightning port. As you say, there is a pair of headphones with a Lightning connector in the Apple Store now. for 800 bucks. And the rumour has been deemed credible enough to have been commented on extensively by many respected technology news sites, including Cult of Mac, 9 to 5 Mac, Apple Insider, Beta News, CNet, and Mashable. Even CBS has picked it up. But there is one site remaining curiously and ominously silent. What I find deeply disappointing is that AppleVis has not said a thing about a topic which could have an enormous impact on the way blind people use their iPhones. It's not just hearing impaired people who will take a hit, but anyone who wants to use their iPhone with minimal latency and energy consumption, who appreciate being able to charge their phones while they also enjoy the privacy that the headphone jack affords. There is an important and unique use case here that Apple need to be made aware of before it's too late, and for AppleVis to remain silent when many other Apple blogs are speaking out is a gross dereliction of duty in my opinion. Why isn't this an AppleVis campaign of the month? Staying silent on such an important issue, when AppleVis could at least be encouraging users to complete the feedback form, is ostrich-like in the extreme. I think it's time users held AppleVis to account for its silence on this. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org
