Hi

And if I have to ever buy an adapter for the normal earphones my phone will 
then be bigger rather than smaller as seems to be the reason for wanting to get 
rid of the jack.

Ramifications


  The jack is so archaic, but that’s just my opinion. 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.

    Precisely, they used to do these things, and consumer pressure caused a 
rethink and a move to the 3.5 standard headphone jack.

      I agree with you Daniel. 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.

        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.

          Hi Mary, AppleVis tend not to link to other sites within the blind 
community, so I suspect that if I tried, it would just be removed.
          But yes, their stoney silence on this is appalling.

            Hi Jonathan,
            I hope you have posted a link to this along with a summary perhaps, 
over at Apple vis. 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?

              Hi everyone, since I posted the text of my blog entry last week, 
there's been some great discussion here about what the removal of the headphone 
jack would mean. 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.
