Yeh well I heard a lot about this kind of no headphone socket, within the last
year. I rather have backup if anything new is on the phone, I don't really use
the headphone jack in terms of getting around on the train and that but, I can
see the security risk of not having a headphone jack. On the other hand, on the
iPad I would rather have an headphone jack on there. But I think it's users
choice but sometimes with Apple, they think it's another cool thing?
I've always worried on battery life with Apple, however now I got an MacBook
Pro 2012 edition, iPad 4 (iPad Air) I don't have to worry about it.

Hi Chris
Yes, but why? Why take the headphone jack away? What is really the point
when so many people use it? I think the rumours are true, there is just too
much leaked info out there now for it not to be. Personally I think it is
their way of making their gear look different to make people think they are
getting something more innovative and better.
Time will tell, but this could be their undoing.
Kind Regards,

These are indeed rumours, Apple have not officially announced anything yet.
So we don’t know if Apple have a solution for those who need to charge while
using the lightening port for something else. John Gruber has been very
vocal in this area.
If Apple do decide to remove frankly what is over 50 years old, you will be
able to get a small cable with lightening on one end and a 3.5mm socket on
the other if you still wish to use your current headphones. So nobody will
be forced into using bluetooth.
Hopefully such a move will prompt the community to make better bluetooth
headphones, bring down the cost and hopefully improve the latency for us
screen reader users.
Like when Apple ditched the floppy; moved to USB; ditched the CD drive, a
few years later we will all be wondering what all the fuss was about.

Hi,
Jonathan Mosen wrote an interesting blog article, but I can't find it now.
What about people who use the headphone jack in conjunction with hearing
aids?
I think this is a bad move on Apple's part and I'm glad we have more
diversity in Android. If you rely on just one manufacturer, you will
always get this kind of problem.
All the best
Steve

Hi. I can’t see how it’s ripping off their customer base. If people don’t
like it then there is always Android or purchase a good quality wireless
headset for around £25 and you still will get good quality stereo sound. I
always found that I’m for ever replacing wired headsets after a few months
because one of the earphones stop working.

Apple's latest iPhone is not wired for sound James Dean Technology
Correspondent The Times 9 August 2016
The new iPhone could be released as soon as next month - and shoppers
might have to pay for new headphones, it has been reported.
Apple's latest smartphone will rely on a wireless connection for
listening devices, according to Bloomberg News. Reports in January
that Apple would remove the headphone socket prompted a protest at
enforced obsolescence.
A dual camera that takes sharper photographs in low light is expected
to feature on the larger of the two new iPhone models. Bloomberg said
the device would have a touch-sensitive central button and would come
in the same sizes as the iPhone 6 and larger iPhone 6 Plus. Apple
declined to comment.
More than 300,000 people signed a petition calling on Apple to keep
the phone's earphone jack, rather than "rip off every one of its
customers"
by dropping it. Apple is likely to include Bluetooth earphones with
the new models, but some audiophiles will not be satisfied the sound
quality.
