Won't bother me a bit. I am about to purchase the fourth Bluetooth headset in a

headset on both the iPhone 6S+ and the PC. In the last ten days the individual
has broken two and the third one was either defective or just a poor choice on
their part. I suspect both. And that doesn't count the load of ear pods and off
brand ear buds I supplied for this individual by their request.
So I'm all for Apple razing the standard a little bit.

And the Lightning Dock connector is a far more functional connector than the
Headphones socket is.
Actually the headphones socket used by Apple isn't universal at all, its been
adapted by Apple to suit there needs.
If you look at an Apple Headphone socket for want of a better description
you'll see it has extra terminals for the plug for example for one thing.
The Minijack you'll find in your standard walkman device will likely have 3
terminals, in your standard bedside radio 2 terminals - if its only mono - but
on the IOS devices it contains 5 terminals and obviously the more terminals
that are put on one of those plugs then the more flimbsy is the whole
arrangement.

exactly! the headphone socket was a lot more universal, as it could be used for
more than just headphones.
a good situation I can think off for example, is that there are now some very
good musical instrument apps available for the iPhone, which make life a lot
easier for blind musicians. with the problems, especially the delays associated
with bluetooth, and the dock/lightning port already being taken up with a music
keyboard, what is left to get audio from the iPhone in to an amp or mixer? the
good old headphone socket.

Hi,
Bluetooth quality lacks in various ways.
It can't transmit uncompressed audio and there is a slide delay in
time as well.
Toilet paper is more than a hundred years old and is stil being used.

There’s a very good reason they’re removing the plug, if they take the
plug away then the phone can be made thinner.
I’m not fazed by such a decision myself as there are work arounds if I
really wanted to use an older pair of headphones.
A Bluetooth adapter might be one way around it or perhaps a dedicated
pair of headphones that run from the dock of the iPhone which sound
better than the analogue phones anyway due to their direct digital design.
Technology is always changing and those sockets are 50 years old in
design at least, you don’t see iPhones using valves do you? Imagine
how big they’d be if they did.

Hi,
It's a real shame. We are many, who like the analog style headphones
so I'll skip this update and stay with 6S.
Any reason why they're removing the plug? I mean they don't take up
much space.
Best regards
Brian

I can't wait to see what the new headphones are like, and even what
they can do now that they have digital capabilities. It might not be
just audio that goes through them.
