Assuming your house is break-in proof.
lol cmon yeah obviously thatās a potential issue but unless they also kill you upon entry you could report it as stolen, lock all your cards, etc.
You can find negatives for literally anything when you get that pedantic, Iām just trying to give them some options š¤·š»āāļø
Also if someone breaks into your house does it really matter if your iPad is locked when your wallet, social security cards, etc are all there for the taking?
Not gonna argue the point, but also not gonna agree that advising anyone that no authentication on an iOS device is a good idea, nor that in pointing that out I was simply being pedantic.
Awesome šš»
Gotcha. Unfortunately you may need to compromise with Apple on some ends then unless youāre willing to keep using an older device until it finally dies lol
That's exactly what I did recently. I'm using my wired headphones too often when making music, and the flimsy headphones adapter for newer iPads is no solution for me.
Who knows, Apple might deliver one day like they did when reintroducing ports and slots in the M1max Macbook Pro - if not, I might have a closer look at the new generation of ARM based Windows tablets and only use the Windows apps that support touch well enough.
This was my thought too.
Then I thought, damn, Iām jealous. Someone not plugged in. That can be a good thing!
Why are a 3.5mm audio port sooo important?
I have been living without that ports for many years, and donāt miss itā¦
An adapter for 10 bucks (USB-C to 3.5mm) and an USB-C hub for 30 buck has all I needā¦
Are you sure, wasnāt him who dropped the floppy disk? Heās probably rolling in his grave laughing!!
I just had a new battery installed on my Pro 10.5 2017 by Timpson uk. Mistake. I should have kept the original one as the new one isnāt much better.
So, Iāll keep using it for a while still as a sofa music making tab, especially because 9th gen that I was eyeing up doesnāt have stereo speakers when in landscape mode.
BTW, the Jack dongle doesnāt sort out the problem because you canāt charge while using it and all the reviews for Jack dongles with a charging ports arenāt too good. Even the Belkin one that Apple sells on their website has issues.
The death of the headphone Jack was definitely a serious blow to the sofa musicians community.
Yeah, thatās what I thought. I canāt imagine him having any issues with removing a 140 year old technology.
I mean, it's an objective fact that the TRS jacks are a bit "last century" and not optimal in technical and space-use terms, so I'm not against SOMEHOW replacing them.
The main problem isn't really the fact that they have been replaced, but that the devices only have ONE SINGLE PORT.
If any iOS device, or at least iPads, had THREE lightning ports, then you could just plug "proper" lightning headphones in one, the charger in another, and your audio interface in the third.
So that's the bottom line to me. The problem is the small number of ports, not which type of port. āļø
Ports are like potatoes, you can never have too many š„
I wonder why Apple doesn't make a USB or Thunderbolt Hub.
Yes, I wouldn't call it obsolete, but it could be implemented better. Currently it's needlessly long for no reason (socket occupies a lot of space in the device), and it has spring-loaded contacts which often fail to give a proper electrical connection, resulting in noise etc. -- though in Apple's defense, their headphone sockets were actually much better than others in this regard as they seem to use some "advanced" spring-loading that binds to the plug really tightly...
Also the long plugs mean that there's a huge lever in case you accidentally bump into it, although this is somewhat mitigated by angle connectors (which nobody uses!)
There are quite a few reasons, and to my understanding itās an ever increasing trend with Android phones and tablets too.
The main reasons I recall Apple using are that it is takes up internal space that could be used for other components, and that it is a weak point in waterproofing devices.
Since then there has been a move by all manufacturers to Bluetooth, so I donāt think itās just Apple that has the desire to primarily support Bluetooth peripherals.
Good point about the waterproofing, forgot about that. Although at first glance I can't see an immediate engineering reason for TRS plugs to be less viable for it than, say, Lightning.
When you CAN use cables, USE cables! ALL radio technologies come with often huge compromises. You have to replace batteries all the time. There's almost always more latency due to the packety nature of the protocols. You litter the space with even more electromagnetic waves. It uses more power. It can be unreliable. Etc.
As I can tell, no problem whatever With this hub from Amazon - 12.9ā M1
@tja just got a 9th iPad. Works great. Was on sale for BF probably still is.
I totally agree with this as Bluetooth is not good for making music. My point was really that thereās an industry-wide trend towards Bluetooth devices now. Music makers are too small of a market segment to have any impact on that.
.
Itās kind of worrying that they decided to ditch a tried and true way of connecting audio for over 40 years with a technology like bluetooth that comes with quite a few major downsides and only a couple slight improvements over the standard. I wonder how long bluetooth will survive as the medium of choice for consumer audio. Probably not 40 years š
You might not be using headphones often.
For me, the 3.5mm audio port is the only way to connect headphones without latency and without additional dongles.
I think audio jacks have been around for more like 140 years, not 40.
Consumers have been accepting lower and lower fidelity in music reproduction for many decades now. I would not bet against that trend.
In audio, it's not just music. It's also spoken word. Some of what podcasters find acceptable background sound or vocal fidelity I find shocking. And yet, for some reason (consumerism), the opposite is true when it comes to video. Gotta have 4K because SD, HD and 2K were not good enough to see the nostril hairs of the athletes you watch compete.
Same here! My sister got me one because my iPad broke. Itās great.
