Adapters often get misplaced, I recall needing one for a larger to small jack in the past, then needing the earphones for another unit and how many times we had to look for that adapter, in the bottom of my purse, in a drawer, on the headboard of the bed, bought three of them from RadioShack and still often when we needed one we had to search all over.
As mentioned in previous post also had problems when a cord for a Dictaphone transcription machine was pulled off the desk and chewed by a dog in the household, nonstandard plug meant I could not substitute anything and it took two weeks and a hefty price tag to replace them. Standards are there for a reason! Rose Combs <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] A picture may be worth a thousand words but it takes up three times the memory!

Like I said in my previous post, the advancements that could come with a switch to the lightning port are enormous, but they could still offer an adaptor for people that want to use normal headphones. Lightning headphones are expensive, yes, but making a move right now gives people to adapt to change, since it’s inevitable anyway, so we might as well learn to adapt or stop complaining.

Furthermore, back in the days of non-smart phones Nokia and possibly Ericsson as well had their own idea of what a headphone jack should be and look like. 10 dec. 2015 kl. 18:33 skrev Daniel Miller <[email protected]>: Hi, I’m sorry if this sounds rude, but why, exactly is everyone so bent out of shape about the no headphone jack rumor? First off, we don’t even know if it’s going to happen, and second, if Apple were going to do something that drastic, they’d surely think about all possible scenarios before plunging ahead with such a move. I personally would love to see a new approach to headphones, preferably one that provides for better audio quality than what the current jacks limitations due to it being analog can provide.

I think you are correct that Apple vis should wake up and take notice to this possible loss of a headphone jack. If this much of the mainstream press is paying attention, why aren't they?

I've also had a lot of private email and comments on this as well, and I know dozens of you have completed Apple's feedback form. So thanks for having your say. Thanks to all this feedback, I was able to write a new blog post that I think captures more of our concerns on this topic, and crystallises the issues better. It's really long so I won't paste it here, but if this topic interests you, you may like to take a look here. http://mosen.org/index.php/an-iphone-without-a-headphone-jack-the-accessibility-ramifications/ Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org <http://mosen.org/> -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
