I foresee a new music genre with laidback/off beat timing because of latency.
Most of which will be released on Blue(tooth)Note. Can’t wait
Adapt(er) or Die
I have no problem listening and enjoying content on a pair of BT AirPods...
...it's just that when monitoring a real-time recording or playing an instrument it's very, very annoying.
Take a pair of closed back headphone and add some delay(100% wet) and talk, you'll go nuts hearing your delayed voice.
Delay with Speech Jammer Demonstration - Sound Speeds
(That channel is pretty good resource for anything related to audio recording).
Would that be a ring for you finger or a ring for your....?
A) this rumour has circulated in one form or another every year since I started using iOS in 2014 (and likely longer than that).
C) they’ll most likely create a MagSafe hub for “Pro” users to connect their peripherals. It’ll be overpriced, awkward to use, and easy to lose. But your other option is Android.
You are obviously unaware of the annual Underwater Music Festival held off Big Pine Key I Florida!
I can’t really understand using something like Cubasis 3 or a similarly cluttered app on an iPhone, it’s just too small. Sure, the processing power is there. Mirroring to a larger screen adds another piece of hardware. However, I enjoy so much using the iPhone for a guitar amp sim for example, amp in your pocket, portable perfection. And a synth app with my keyboard attached of course, or a midi controller. Midi data over Bluetooth is not a problem.
But if you won’t be able to attach an audio interface to a portless phone for live instruments, and you can’t monitor and record in real-time with less than 10ms latency give or take, and your keyboard or controller doesn’t have its own direct monitor or some sort of zero latency internal sound engine you can monitor before the iOS processing, then it’s game over.

Re: Anti-iOS bias/cork-sniffing/gatekeeping:
I don’t think that will be a perpetual thing.
Last week, I heard from an old friend who is an Academy Award- nominated working composer and producer. Another friend had sent him some of my music and told him that my workflow was 80% iphone 6S+ and 20% ancient iPad 2.
Buck said very positive things about my work (A very nice thing indeed!) and was fascinated by the possibilities of iOS composition and production.
And he is a fella with a room literally filled with modular and eurorack gear.
The tide is turning.
The one that leaves your hands free to play!
That had been made redundant already in the last generation except the iPhone SE as newer device use USB-C. But I agree that removing the last remaining port, the USB port, would be a really really bad thing for musicians.
Mad that Apple seem more concerned about servicing this possible market than help Musicians that spend million on music apps. 3.5 jack return please!
But android doesn’t have the concept of AU and Google isn’t interested in building it (unless Steinberg steps in like they developed VST)
No. It's exactly the opposite. The more you put over the air the easier it is to hack. Plugging something into a device requires gaining physical access to it. Over the air is trivial to at least capture what is coming from and going to a device**. It's also far, far easier even than capturing what someone is doing over the internet.
The exception is storage devices (USB, SD cards, etc.). That is the ideal attack vector.
BTW, I'm not making any of this up. I've been professionally involved with computer security and penetration testing for more than 20 years.
(** Unencrypting and doing something with that data is another matter, but the fact that anyone can relatively easily try to grab it remains.)
Isn’t that how Reggae was borne? And is it time to stash a 2016 Pro2 for the future?
For sure! I should have made my point more clear. I meant that even without ports, an iPhone will still be far preferable to an Android phone for music production. Andrew Huang recently made a video that covered why so few music app developers support Android — it’s pretty crazy just how difficult it is to work with. On top of the well-known OS and hardware fragmentation issues, audio latency is way higher across the board, with many of the most popular devices being literally unusable for live input.
😂😂🤣🤟🤟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I soooo agree with you. All these amazing devs should migrate to some Linux raspberry of sorts, they wouldn’t have to pay a yearly fee to develop and give away a third of their earnings. I hate that I love the iPad.
Maybe they will make a revolutionary magnetic dongle that costs $159 and gives you one proprietary new port that you can then plug a regular wired dongle into so you can use the lightning/usb-c/3.5mm dongles you already own. You know what could make for a really thin phone (and who isn’t sick of how thick phones are)? Get rid of the battery and use an Apple-exclusive magnetic charging dongle to power the phone with a new Apple Plasmatronic (regular old lithium ion) battery pack that is shaped like a Möbius strip. FFS
Just the fact that I ever had to say the word dongle in my entire life should be enough for every Apple exec to follow Steve Jobs straight down into hell when they die. As far as iPad, I assumed it would be understood (on this forum) that once an iPhone goes all ports the iPad is soon to follow. Of course nobody uses the phone anymore to make music, but if it happens on the phone, it’s pretty safe to assume the pads heading that way. What REALLY sucks is apple could make a music production behemoth that was streamlined you were producing multiple songs a day and not even trying. It could be 1000 times better for musicians/producers without much change. The truth is they only care about money. And I mean they only care about it to the millionth power. Cause they are the children of the devil. When they lie they speak their native tongue. So seriously what has to happen for Android ( just the name makes me nauseous ) to level up to ios?
(Sorry about that. Apparently I had more rant left in there...)
Is this just a rumor, or has it been substantiated by Apple in some way?
Oh yeah ....Ok I confess I have seen a few videos that were making conjecture but what had me convinced was when my nephew , who is what I would consider an industry insider, mentioned it to me and his dad. But the truth is, I don’t KNOW it. Like I said , the post was just a reaction rant to Apple in general. Which is why I said some naughty words. But no I didn’t mean it as a verified fact. But hey if I could... I’d bet half my savings on it.🤷♂️
There is no reason necessarily to assume that. They are different form factors geared toward different use cases and markets. Nobody schleps around with an iPad in their lint filled pockets, has to hold it up to their head, needs to use it in the rain, etc. They could go that route, but it's not a given. There are still new-model iPads in production that have headphone jacks after all.
That's totally incorrect. Many, many people use iPhone only to make music.
Their millions of shareholders and people with retirement plans that benefit from their investments in Apple might see their focus on making money in a bit different light.
You'd probably be better off if you invested half your savings in Apple stock.
If you did that 5 years ago you'd have more than five times as much savings today.
Sorry, don't mind me ... I'm just having one of those "I will argue with anyone." evenings.
Industry insiders can be just as susceptible to unfounded rumor as outsiders though. While they might hear of conversations that take place, those conversations don’t always translate into strategy change, or might take years to come to fruition.
A good example would be M1 processors - I think it was just short of 12 years from the first published “a source with knowledge of the move” article to Apple making the announcement.
I’m not going to worry about the rumors until there’s something more substantial than the usual articles based on a source other than Apple.
I give my coworkers monthly meeting about security. I also buy enough licenses that whatever I tell them they should practice at work they should at home as well. They all have password managers, vpns, proofpoint/email encryption, etc (pretty much everything but an MDM) for their personal use. Let’s them practice good digital hygiene in their personal life rather than think we just lock them down for no good reason. It’s amazing how much they take an interest in it when they have the tools for themselves.
But I still get a kick outta this and I know my staff would never plug this into their devices:

And from the comments:
“If you actually plugged this into your machine, you definitely need us”
Not sure I care at all. I hardly plug anything into my phone anymore. Still, I have doubts that there would be no ability to connect anything physically. That would render Garageband almost useless for example.
Na. This is what apple calls opportunity.
They'll make something that is "proprietary" that only works with homekit to sell you an appleTV or homepod and call it something like "AirJam", when in reality its just a locked down midi-wifi bridge.
@Glued maybe throw a “?” at the end of the thread title?
