that's what audio interface manufacturers want u to think ; )
Choices we make yes. Often though as in the case of a monopoly, you have little choice of alternatives.
The iPad got me back into music in a way that no other device could at the time. If that device is then changed, I will cope. Life goes on, yet I still would currently have no other choice of instrument that works for me in the same way the iPad does.
Ack! They got me!
I mean you no disrespect, but you seem more concerned with your own needs rather than the bigger picture.
See my rather lengthy comment from earlier. That may answer your suggestion of my lack of concern for 'the bigger picture', it may not.
I understand the argument. And, I wouldn't want to bet against Apple... but, I think they might have made a mistake here.
It's not like they haven't had missteps before. Still too early to tell, but has the Apple Watch been a screaming success? I live in a fairly hipster-plagued city (Austin Texas) and I don't really see many Apple Watches around. I wouldn't wear one if you gave it to me. I'd sell it off to some other suckah.
Reason being, I have too many stress-inducing little gadgets and chargers, adaptors, etc. to keep track of. And, I don't want to have to keep track of yet one more device that needs charging pretty much every day.
I've already adapted to wireless bluetooth headphones. I like the absence of a cable, but the battery life is only about 4-5hrs (same as the Airpods) It's kind of a pain, as I'm always running out of juice right in the middle of a podcast, etc. and have to dig around in my pack to see if I'd got a spare pair of wired ones to get me through until a recharge.
Then there are all the other devices I use headphones for what don't even accept a wireless option, like portable audio recorders, video cameras, etc. I also use an iPod nano for travel tunes.
I'd adapt I'm sure, but I'm not planning on getting an iPhone 7. Mostly due to the lack of the headphone jack. I don't want to have one more little doo-dad connector, adaptor to keep track of. I wouldn't buy the airpods because they're too easy to lose without the wire between them. When my current pair of wireless earbuds run out of juice, they have magnets and a wire between them so I can just put them around my neck fastened and not lose them.
It's obvious that Apple couldn't give two flips about the iOS music sector. I personally think there's a bigger potential market there, but maybe it's not big enough for the effort. But, I don't really use my iPhone for iOS sound stuff much anyway. I have, and thought I would more... but in practice, I don't bother with the smaller device. I just take the iPad along, or wait until I've got access to it.
The only thing I can speculate on is my own use. I can say that I'd likely have bought a new MacBook Pro laptop by now if they hadn't taken away the DVD/CD drive. I bought the last model in 2012 and will continue using it until it's no longer supported by the OS. When I eventually upgrade to a new one, I'll have to get an external drive for the CDs and DVDs I have, and the CDs I continue to buy.
That being said, although I use the DVD/CD drive... it's so rare that it really doesn't make sense for it to be taking up space in my laptop anymore. So, in the long run, Apple was right about that one. And, maybe in the long run they'll be right about the Apple Watch and headphone port-less iPhones, it'll just be a bit of a pain in rear for awhile if you're an early adopter. Maybe Apple knows this and are making these initially aggravating changes, based more on a long game, with the knowledge they'll lose a little in the short game.
If you believe your cause is just, then more power to you. I'm no stranger to being part of a vocal minority.
All I can say is if you adopted the iPad as your sole music making platform because you assumed the 3.5mm jack would be around forever -- you're in for a rude awakening.
Haha no and my points have not been about the 3.5mm socket in isolation.
Behold! Your future!
(Oh the humanity!)
??? Relevance to the conversation at hand?
All depends on the sales figures for the 7. At the end of the day Apple is selling a product, and if the public don't like it, or can't afford an additional £150 for earbuds they won't buy it.
Bad sales figures will have a big effect on whether they do the same for future iPads, or return the port to future phones.
Big powerful company or not, without customers they're dead.
another dingelberry to deal with, we are not amused
so its no new macs
half assed iOS 10
and no more headphone jack for the phone
instead more lifestyle crap like watch2 and tv4 and bt headphones
I can see that this earns them a lot of $, but for how long?
talking about "the right move"
whats next a car?
i am so not interested
whatever happened to apple computer inc.?
they used to be great, but now they have to many interests, my 2cents
That's a great point, but eventually the 3.5mm jack will go the way of floppy drives, 30-pin connectors, Ethernet ports, USB 2 ports, etc.
You forgot SCZI
ios music makers aside…. many times i've had to charge my phone while listening to music with the headphone jack. i assume this a concern for most people.
Hehe, just being silly in that you said it was NOT about... Oh nevermind.
Lol
Eventually, yes. But my personal opinion is they've jumped the gun before a better, universally accepted solution has become available. Again.
Eventually in the very long run everybody and everything including Apple will go away.
But there has always been a noticeable trend with Apple. When they take something away, they always offer advancement in return. From what I understand, the DAC is of a much higher quality, so the sound will be much better when listening to your regular 3.5mm headphones with the adapter. The device is now waterproof and less prone to dust trapping. It's faster, has a better camera, more RAM, more storage, etc., etc., etc... I would be more willing to say that it is not "if" but "when" they replace the lightning port, and when they do, it will be a pain to replace our adapters and such, but it will be because there are benefits that we will reap from making the change. It's the price of progress.....otherwise, we could all still be cutting and splicing the tape for hours on our $100k reel-to-reel machines to be able to do what we can now in our pockets.
That's exactly the point though. Most musicians have traditionally restricted their music making to one instrument whose purpose in the world was to be that instrument. That isn't at all the case with an iOS device. Music making is probably a use case ranked somewhere near no. 8735.
That's exactly another point, not the one being made.
Never been a big fan of that word "restrict".
Kind of depends on context. Three uses I know of. Two Have kind of negative connotations, while the third is of more personal self restriction or to place limits. Limit placing on oneself can be extremely helpful in certain situations.
Fair enough, I was just being a little cheeky. It was only after I posted it that I realized the intrinsic irony of talking about not liking restrictions in this particular thread.
Agree to disagree there.
Agree to disagree there.
A limitation, whether self-imposed or not, is by definition a restriction. Perhaps I could have chosen a better word than restrict, but hopefully readers get the gist of it.
Regardless, we shouldn't let the thread devolve into semantics.
