I rarely use the headphone jack in my current phone, but just the threat that I won't be able to use it while charging my phone makes me take pause on buying the iPhone 7. I'll probably still get one, but I'd take the jack over two extra hours of battery life.

And there was already a standards based replacement for it (HTML 5) that everybody knew would become ubiquitous.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostFlash was problematic software, still is. A headphone jack doesn't cause problems for anyone.

1. Digital audio means DRM audio
Someone needs to tell this author they include one of these in the same box as the iPhone 7...

BTW, apple will be selling these for $9. Your chinese walmart flavor will be a buck or two in a couple of months."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

Further proof that the author of this article has 99% bone in his head... The guy is holding an USB hub! Lightning devices can be daisy-chains like Firewire. No hub needed. USB will die and Lightning will be the future.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostPut this in your apple fanboy pipe and smoke it!

Yeah, he has a point... ever since they ditch analog TV I can't play my damn Atari 2600! HDTV sucks!4. Ditching a deeply established standard will disproportionately impact accessibility

You missed the point. He is absolutely correct that dongles are a PITA. And given the ubiquity of the audio jack, it is hard to see a future without a dongle.
