Upcoming iPhone pro =NO PORTS
Dude....I love how smooth and flawless the software works with Apple just as much as I hate the entire company. First these pricks took away our 1/8” jack, now they are taking away EVERYTHING. The upcoming iPhone will have no ports. Zero.
That new usb to lighting interface you bought... worthless. That midi controller you use with your phone... eat a d. That $300 Rhodes condenser mic that you couldn’t wait to try out in auria... f you, ya plebeian.
Apple has become a company of “You’ll eat what and when we will tell you and thenthank us for the pleasure.” What a bunch of bastards. Please for the love of Jason Christ can someone tell Android to shape up on the music production side so we can all finally burn our apple products? Please?
Just a little rant.

A well deserved rant, this is literally getting disgusting. Absolutely hate Apple. If they do this to the ipad, iOS musoc making is dead. But it is the kind of choice the suits might make of they think it willake more money for them and their shareholders.
This is what Apple has been doing (and will continue to do) for decades.
I remember Macs losing their floppy drive.
“Oh my God, what are they doing?!?!? What will I do???”
They are always moving further ahead — faster than we’d like.
The primary objective is thinner, lighter, more waterproof when it comes to phones. No holes? No way for water to get in. C
Yeah it sucks, but it is totally predictable.
Well if that’s the case
The iPhone 11 I recently got will be my last iPhone
The only real hope will be more ports on the iPad, otherwise......
Who knows, might not happen for a while yet, always gonna be second guessing apple
Ah you’ll just have to cough up the dough for the AirPod Pro+ with dual band BT5.0 for NEAR ZERO latency. Very courageous.
All kidding aside I dunno. Can see this eventually happening on the phone, can’t imagine it happening on iPad. Everything will lose the jack though and everything will become USB C. Lowest tier iPad probably won’t lose the jack because it’s positioned mostly for education and schools aren’t gonna shell out for all USB C headphones and what not.
Then again the Chromebook is king in edu, so really, whodafuck knows...
Pretty impressed with my Air Pod Pros, I think I could still make good music if all I had was those. Not ideal, but not end game for me personally either.
I don't think it would happen with iPads. They are used in a lot of 'pro' situations where they interface with other equipment. Hospitals and industrial kinda applications. Still I suppose real time audio might be one of the highest transfer rates commonly required. Not sure if people are using iPads for real time video, or other high data transfer situations.
Hope I'm not wrong.
One of the downsides of making up a trivially small percentage of iPhone users is that our preferences don’t carry a lot of weight...not because Apple is an evil corporation out to make our lives miserable but because our preferences are at odds with the overwhelming majority of phone users who will appreciate water resistant phones more than being able to connect their phones to external devices.
Hopefully, some phones will have ports. If not, at least used phones are far less expensive than the new ones will be.
I hope Apple are working on extremely low latency Bluetooth technology.
Finally! I hate ports on the phone
I'm actually o.k for my phone with that. I hope they don't follow this up on the iPad though, that would suck big time.
I rarely use phone for music so I’m not much affected by this... one thing caught my eye in OP, but maybe it’s just me...
“smooth and flawless software” - it is still ahead of competition, but for me this stopped to be the experience some time ago. I started using iOS because how fluent the interaction was. I noticed recently how much time I’m spending correcting misinterpreted, missed or unintended taps/gestures.
Hopefully behringer will come up with hardware pricing to compete apps. lol
T his would open the way for wireless audio interfaces
Imagine a studio with NO cables............or wires I see the vision
and it looks good.
At the moment I can only Imagine the latency
Not just latency and speed, but reliability will always be better with cables, that's why the professional market will always demand it.
Has Apple said this officially?
Im gonna give up on iPads and iPhones the second Giku ports Drambo to the apple watch.
Other benefits of no ports would include making iPhones more resistant against hacking by the feds and the jail breaking community
There is zero confirmation this is imminent. There’s more validity to the rumors that the iPhone 13 will still use a Lightning port rather than USB-C. I think Apple will skip USB-C and just go portless eventually. Then all the other phone manufacturers will leverage that for their own marketing needs until they all go portless as well. It’s the same playbook any time Apple changes anything on the phone.
I wouldn’t bother with Iwatch, waaaay too bulky. Just wait until he ports it to IRing.
No hardware connections means it’s somewhat useless for music. Bluetooth audio has too much latency to be practical for music production IMO. Timing is everything. If true, I’m not really surprised by this. Apple seems hellbent on giving the middle finger to artists and musicians.
I love me some iOS, but it’s stuff like this that keeps me using hardware to make music.
Opposite for me.
I started with analog hardware, but now I prefer to produce and master my music in my old iPhone 6S.
I partially agree. An iPhone is a phone and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that ports are being removed as for a vast majority of users a phone being waterproof is way more important than connecting an audio interface.
As far as producing music on a phone? It is not impossible, we all know that, but the hoops through which we need to jump in order to get decent results increase vastly. There is also that issue of software availability since most semi serious apps are iPad only.
Making music on iOS devices as a whole is a fringe concept and definitely absolute majority of producers will use pro-tools and similar. Even If I told my mates who have professional studio businesses that I’m using logic they’d likely say: yes, you can get decent results with it, while thinking: let’s not demotivate this fellow by destroying his Logic dreams. It’s all about perspectives but also about how much effort does it take to get you from a to b using a certain tool. Most of builders use hand tools of a certain standard/power otherwise they’d waste too much time fluffing with tools as opposed to getting the job done.
The phones can still be waterproof with a charging port. All the current phones are water-resistant to ip68, which should be enough for just about anyone unless the scuba-diving market is a major driver of sales.
‘scuba-diving pro musicians’ 😂
Also ports are useful to more people than just musicians. Videographers often use Lightning microphones for example. IMO it would make more sense to remove the port from the base iPhone and continue to include it on the "Pro" models.
Don't remember where I read it but Apple is looking at underwater photo/videography and considering how much the iPhone is used to do video I would not be surprised if they want to do something that exceeds IP68 by a wide margin and we have to remember that even though the iPhones are IP68 certified warranty does not cover water damage. (That's why it's 'water-resistant' not 'waterproof').
I would not be at all surprised by a portless iPhone but a portless iPad would tick me the wrong way...
For underwater photography and video you can just get a waterproof case. I imagine there are far more land-based videographers using external mics than there are underwater photographers using phones.
I'd go as far to say using external audio-recorders (with mics) and sync the audio in post.
I miss the headphone jack on my iPhone 8 when I'm using the iRigMic HD with it.
My iRig Mic Field has a headphone jack but I'll not buy the iRig Mic HD2 just to get a headphone jack...
We'll have to wait and see what happens...
...apparently there's a rumored Apple Event on March 23rd...
Yeah that will probably be the new iPads. The phones won't be announced until the autumn. Let's wait an see
