Is that like a loud Mexican a loud immigrant? My mother had a bunch of them move in across the street, loud parties but man the best bbq. That being said, yes, you were being a troll then and I’m sorry to say you’re still under the bridge. You’re all bitching over a product that doesn’t exist yet. We already know that an adapter is being provided but that’s not good enough. We’re all supposed to hold up civilization because you won’t use a quarter inch piece. We’re not fighting for civil rights, we’re not fighting over whether people are being killed in the streets by police gone mad, we’re fighting over the fact you might have to use a small plastic piece. I’m just calling you and Jonathan out for the ridiculousness of A. bitching about something that’s not out yet and B. about such a trivial issue . I respect Jonathan a great deal and will tell him if I disagree with his positions and in this case I do. They are well presented but I think a decent means of access is being provided that doesn’t injure the deaf blind user community so there’s a non issue. I’m sorry if that gets your panties in a wad but there it is. I think his points were off base but that’s me. I think Jonathan is a very smart well spoken and well informed person who can defend himself if he feels the need. I realize under the bridge it might be hard to hear down there but the point is while I vigorously disagree with his points and assertions I most certainly am not saying he doesn’t have the right to his opinion and even go so far as to say I respect where that opinion is coming from I just disagree. So what ever invisible man in the sky you believe in help us if we don’t agree and fall in to your little troll shaped mold! I’d rather live in a world where we can all hash it out, beat around our ideas and have a beer after, some of you are so thin skinned, so literal and so brainwashed it makes me sad.

You make it like some huge personal assault against the great and mighty Jonathan Mosen, please, we’ve seen an adapter is going to exist so you have your precious 1960s technology. In the end, probably 3 people are going to care about this issue over all and all 3 are on this list.:) The average consumer doesn’t care what shape or size plug they use as long as when they plug it in the little light goes on and stuff works.

I tried to explain on this list about how a wired headset was essential for me but was accused bizarrely of being a troll because I dared to criticise an Apple innovation. This did cause another another poster to comment that ironically some people are deaf to the concerns of those of with hearing impairments. David Griffith On 01/09/2016 20:07, Jonathan Mosen wrote: Hi Mary, unfortunately this issue doesn't affect the Deaf community in the same way as it affects blind people who wear hearing aids and require decent latency. And the fact that those of us who are affected are such a minority makes us more vulnerable. You can be sure I am considering my legal options under legislation here. A standard hearing aid wearer uses their phone actively far less than a blind person who wears a hearing aid. For example, if a Bluetooth solution is being used, after a standard hearing aid wearer has finished their call or isn't listening to music, the technology goes into standby and uses very little energy. A blind person has VO talking a lot of the time if they're using their device for tasks like reading and creating documents, email etc, so the impact is much greater. Even if people are willing to accept an adapter jutting out of their phone with its resultant potential to be lost or bent, the adapter will not solve the problem entirely if it means that you can't charge your device and use headphones at the same time. I travel long distances for example, often with flights over 12 hours long. I regularly take my Anka battery with me and charge the phone while I use it to compensate for the inaccessible in-flight entertainment system. It's important to me to have a full charge when I reach my destination. Based on the information we have, it looks like you can either listen to wired headphones or charge, not both. That means that every VoiceOver user who chooses a wired option appears to have to choose between privacy and charge.

That seems like such an incredibly stupid move on Apple's part, that I am tempted to just believe that they wouldn't do it if they didn't have a workaround that would work for people who use hearing aids. The hard of hearing community is orders of magnitude larger then the blind community. So Shirley, this adapter must be providing someway for people who use hearing aids to keep on doing so. What am I missing here? I remember sometime ago, when the idea that the headphone jack would go away first came out, Jonathan wrote a very impassioned piece on this subject, arguing that this was a very bad idea because of the use case of hearing aids. Now Apple is going to do it anyway, but they're offering an adapter. Why doesn't that solve the problem? I understand why Bluetooth is not a good alternative, given Jonathan's comments on battery drain and the well-known problem for voiceover users with latency. It's still really bad, at least on my phone with my legend. I would not want to have to type on that system for anything more than a word or two, because the latency between when you touch a letter and when you hear it is much too long.

Here’s another point to consider, suppose we add wireless charging. Now, you could have a brick with no ports what so ever formed from one solid piece of material. You could almost grow the casing and have a super durable waterproof phone with no openings at all. The entire surface could be a screen. Not needing ports is a good thing over all.

But I think you are wrong about the disappearing headphone jack. For one thing, Samsung put back the storage card thing, but did not put back the user replaceable battery. Also, if the other rumor is true, Apple will be including compatible earbuds with the new phone, as well as an adapter to make it possible for people to use other headphones. Given the prevalence of Bluetooth these days, I suspect that the headphone jack will in fact be gone from iPhones forever. Other device makers are already moving in this direction. So it isn't just Apple. In fact, they will not be the first ones to market without a headphone jack on the phone. Sent from my iPhone On Aug 31, 2016, at 11:05 AM, M. Taylor <mk...@ucla.edu<mailto:mk...@ucla.edu>> wrote: Well, as for me, I'm going to sit back and see how the market accepts the new iPhone 7 trans a separate earphone jack. When Samsung attempted to make its devices thinner by (1) removing the removable battery and (2) removing the ability to add auxiliary memory to its flagship phones, it soon reversed its decision as the market, effectively, rejected the devices in favor of other companies who kept those features. A couple of years ago, when Apple decided to remove the ability for iOS devices to have their photo content immediately available to PC users upon attaching the device to the computer, the marketplace went crazy and vowed to turn to Android if Apple insisted on forcing people to use iTunes in order to manage photos. Like Samsung, Apple immediately reversed itself by restoring this feature in the subsequent release of iTunes. So, I'll just wait and see for, unless 7 is a complete hit, something tells me that iPhone 8 will bring the jack back (smile).
