Sadly, presuming this all happens, my gut says this isn't true. Consumers will want the new one and they'll deal with accessories ($$$) later. It'll come with compatible headphones (and/or an adapter). We'll first here a non-musician/non-music-nerd hubbub when there's a critical mass of people who have lost the headphones/adapter. At just about that time, a new iphone will come out and the market will be flooded once again with those headphones/adapters.
If this happens, we can all rest assured it's very very calculated for $uccess on Apple's part. I don't mean that cynically—it's obvious they know what they're doing, market wise. I don't. It's also obvious (and understandable) that the kind of folks who post here are not Apple's main target audience. Or, of course, we are since we certainly share characteristics with the larger target audience but there's a Venn Diagram to be made and 'care for the way you plug in headphones' is a big old mostly-dont-give-shit shaded area.
@syrupcore We'll see
But I would suggest that people who listen to music on their iPhones, and like decent (wired) headphones is a significant market - just look at the explosion of good quality headphones in the last few years. Before the iPhone it was relatively rare to see people on public transport wearing quality cans, now they are everywhere. I really think ditching the headphone jack is going to piss a lot of people off, and I mean ordinary consumers, not musicians.
Next step will be removal of built-in speaker and implants that produces vibrations to simulate speakers and senses vibrations near the throat to sense speech...
I have no doubt that implants are planned in the future.... ;-)
I won't give this issue another thought until it actually happens, but I can't see how it's an improvement. Seems like a solution looking for a problem, since I can already use Bluetooth headphones with my phone if I choose to do so, but still use a standard set if I choose to do so. I'm not really looking for a third option, which in this case would become an only option.
If Apple wants to make lightning headphones to use IN ADDITION to a standard set, then they should, because from what I see around here (where I live I mean, not this board) Beats are all over the place. I try to explain to those who ask me about headphones that a $99 set of studio headphones (take your pick of brand) will blow those away at a third of the cost, but without that "b" on the side. Oh well. I guess they enjoy them, I'll continue to use what I have.
Well, think about it, no need to charge it. The whole 'communication device' would be powered by us simply moving or keeping our bodies in motion. There would be no need for 'screens' as that could be handled by direct stimulation of the optical nerves. And do we really need physical gadgets at all?
There are a lot of zom(B)ies walking around in our area too...
Apple is definitely going to test the waters and give the public incentives to go the jack less route. If sales are too slow, they'll shelve it or continue to offer alternatives until such time as the public embraces it or test the waters again when conditions seem to have changed considerably.
Bluetooth headphone users are the user base they'll build upon with the expectation people will prefer wireless headphones and not look back. This has some parallels to removing the CD/DVD drive from laptops. It will be interesting to see if there is a free or low cost bluetooth headphone associated with the new phone when it's released.
The lightning headphone cables seem too clunky, stiff, and limited to Apple devices to ever take hold with the general public. You either have a glob of lightning cable DAC/amp near the lightning connector or a lightning cable which goes up to the body or control of the headphone. Neither option is appealing nor is the cost of the headphones relative to wireless options. Manufacturers will be reluctant to enter the lightning headphone market as they've been burned too many times after Apple decided to change their connector without warning rendering their product obsolete and destined for the clearance bin.
Rather I see Apple offering software based and MFi options which will enhance the performance of products enticing them to add the capability to their products rather than lose out to competitors who do while still enabling the product to be used with another other manufacturer's devices.
You know. It's stuff like this that makes me glad my phone is a cheap disposable Android. (I usually get <200$ phones cause when(not if) they break I just replace them.)
Listening to the radio this weekend and I heard the newsCasterPawn announce the rumor of the 3.5mm being discontinued. 2 different news casts.
Here's an example of the type of wireless headphone technology Apple will try to tap into: customization, special features connected to the phone, and options not available in traditional headphones. The Indiegogo campaign for this product was massively successful.
I'm not impressed by the Philips Fidelio cans at all... (Had opportunity to listen to them a while ago).
Still much prefer my ATH-50X so we'll have to see how the market evolves...
I have a few music-apps on my iPhones, mostly to use as field-recorder or voice-memo and quick noodlings when inspiration strikes. It's mostly used as a snap-shot camera
This is beater for us Musicians anyway because thats AD converter will give us better sound. The headphone jack was trash
The headphone jack and the converter are fine. No advantage at all to removing them. A large portion of customers will boycott the new iPhone if this turns out to come true. It would be a very stupid move.
Oh, you have Pokemon Go ninnies there, too?
Not in too big numbers yet LOL, trying to stay away from that
