G+_Donald E. “Don” Riley Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Is anybody buying the BS from Apple about why they took away the phone jack. They say they needed the space. Holy crap... they now have 40 to 50% more space due to the acceptance of a larger phone. Holy crap #2....Samsung managed to find enough space to put in an enormous stylus pen. My sneaking suspicion is that it was all about a deal with the RIAA to close the analog hole. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brandon Mitchell Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I suspect it's more about selling wireless earbuds and one step closer to a phone without any ports at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Donald E. “Don” Riley Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Brandon Mitchell Well they are going to have to do a lot better to get me to have two dongles hanging out of my ears. Come to think of it...I never thought I would ever walk around with wires coming out of my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Scott Baker Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The New Screen Savers 122 had Scotty Allen on. He added a jack to the 7. I found it interesting to see how the space they saved was actually being used.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_DrSeuss Foley Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 While I'm an advocate for the headphone jack, I do prefer the fact that headphone makers can customize their own DACs within their products to provide a superior sound over the old headphone jack system. I am for superior sound over jacks any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Lawrence Feldman Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Get over it. Progress means change. The AirPods are great. Easy to use, command, great sound. No more wires. Next year wireless power. Apple = Innovation. You can still buy a flip phone call (unconfirmed) and have all the technology you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_DrSeuss Foley Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The analog RIAA loophole may some merit. While we all have to suffer with the nuisance of getting use to an alternative solution for ear devices, ultimately I know the new connector provides a great opportunity for the ear device manufacturers to incorporate customized DACs into the connector that improves the sound a lot.

G+_Scott Baker Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Lawrence Feldman I'll agree, in general, that it can take courage to innovate. However, your impression of Apple's overall innovation and mine don't match. And that's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
