I don't so much think I'd go as far as to call this stupid. that's a little
strong, although I definitely would be willing to call it agrevating, that's
for sure!

if this shockingly stupid decision is taken by apple do you think adapters
would become available?
this would be a very stupid decision, think of the bad press is what i would
be screaming at them.

Hi everyone, while technology must advance, I'm troubled by replacing a
universal standard with a proprietary connector, and would far rather see an
industry-wide standard agreed upon, in the same way that USB C was adopted and
is now being used by Apple on the new Macs.
This has been all over social media, but for those who haven't read it yet,
here's my blog post on the accessibility ramifications of the removal of the
headphone jack.

So history rhymes a lot. Why would Apple go with that funky 3.5" disk
when I already had boxes of 5 1/4" floppies. Dropping ADB for
keyboards
and mice to adopt the unknown USB means I had to get all new devices.
What was so awful expensive about a CD drive that they had to leave it
out of the newer machines? What were they thinking going with the
little
3.5mm jack when my 1/4" quadrophonic Koss headphones are still good?
In
all these cases Apple just moved on before the consumers really knew
where the trends were going. Wouldn't it be possible that IF Apple
dropped the last bastion of analog I/O they might actually include
headphones with the new fangled connector? For those with nice
high-end
headphones a little adaptation might be in line but years from now
we'll
look back and wonder what the big deal was. In the end it's all
disposable, just happening sooner than some would like. Sure some
niche
or luddite realms linger, but Apple doesn't seem to care as much about
those. Vacuum tubes and vinyl LPs anyone? Yes, those are fighting
words
in some camps :)

For example, look at the mad rush people make to trade in the last
generation of iPhones even if it is perfectly functional, or stand
in
line overnight to get that new Apple TV.
So Apple has very good reason for change. Its simple. People want
change.

Please could someone tell me how headphones could fit in a
lightening adaptor? You mean there would be a different kind
of
thing to put in a socket?
I don’t understand this headphone lightening connector thing.
When
I sell my I phones, I normally sell the headphones as well if
they
are still working by then.

the 30-pin to Lightning transition, because I was not quite

doubt
Apple will fail to provide a transition for users of the
