Like the current iPhone, this will obviously ship with Apple's Lightning connected headphones and most the people who would complain will just start using them.
so every iFag will we using the shitty overpriced apple wireless headphones that probably won't even come with the iPhone 7, or using something like this, which Apple will probably start selling a clone of for 3x the price (inb4 shill):

>>52443554
It's almost certainly going to come with a lightning to 3.5 adapter, if not a y-splitter. although I don't think that this is a great idea on apple's part, I don't think it should be as big of a deal as people are making it.

It's actually a pretty huge deal.
Apple reps won't give out forewarnigs to anyone that buys one of these. They wont say, "oh by the way you wont be able to use your $200 Beats headphones with this phone", the same ones they sell at their own fucking stores, mind you. Unless of course you buy a stupid adapter or buy a pair of headphones designed for the port, which you can't use on anything else.
Apple should be chastised for this shit.
>>52443835
>>52443657
These aren't even lightning headphones. It's a picture of the power cable and the normal headphones, I thought you guys were smarter than this. Apple has said that there will be a pass through for the power cable.
>>52445277

That they have users dumb enough to pay them this is exactly why they lined up the next reason for them to pay more money.
No, Apple isn't dying, they're just milking a system that has a huge chance of becoming irrelevant soon due to it's very weak position in the market.
Yes, market share matters, the software exclusives are giving more and more of an advantage to Android.
>>52446139
>software exclusives giving more of an advantage to android
Uh...
Regardless, I'm willing to pay for a phone that isn't a steaming pile of shit. Literally every android phone is flawed and not guaranteed to receive the latest version. Fragmented updates are a fucking mess, and honestly it's laughable how the 6s/6s+ can outperform 99% of android "flagships" with 2 cores and 2 gigs of ram.
>>52446188
le dubs of truth
>>52445998
All I'm saying is, placebophile companies tried to present the *integrated* player components (amp, dac) as shit, so they could sell their standalone solutions.
Now, with digital out and since all these components all built into the headphones, they can't sell additional standalone stuff. But they also can't just sum the costs and sell 900$ headphones.
They'll have to use something sensible and admit that their previous products were overpriced.
>>52446291
I knew there were some retards on /g/ but jesus
>>52446291
>Now, with digital out and since all these components all built into the headphones, they can't sell additional standalone stuff.
m8 you have no idea how wrong you are here. All that's going to happen is the argument shifts from "the phone's DAC is shit buy our stuff" to "the built-in DAC in those headphones is shit buy our stuff AND these other headphones".
And you know what? Unless given proof otherwise I would actually agree by default that a DAC built in to a pair of headphones is not going to be that good.
>>52446306
What seems to be the problem m8?
Digital out in such a popular device, means headphones with integrated amps and dacs.
And if your headphones are made for digital in and have their own dac and amp, you can't use a standalone one.
>>52443600
How can you not? Coding, doing math, going through image archives, downloading in general, etc.
>>52445134
You can get AmpliTube on Android now
>>52446401
But does Android have low latency audio like the iPhone for apps like that?
>>52446469
To be honest, no. Samsung has a Pro Audio mode that's supported by some apps but it's still not perfect
it's getting better though
http://superpowered.com/ has info
>>52446188
>Fragmented updates are a fucking mess
Centralized updates like Windows or IOS have them are the bigger mess, and one which you can't really avoid.
> it's laughable how the 6s/6s+ can outperform 99% of android "flagships" with 2 cores and 2 gigs of ram.
They can't. Oh, the two cores on the 6 series of Apple phones are pretty good, but they certainly aren't like the four to eight only marginally weaker cores on various Android devices overall.
Well, Apple needed 1-2 fast cores, IOS can't really handle four or eight or more yet anyways.
>>52446592
>Centralized updates like Windows or IOS have them are the bigger mess, and one which you can't really avoid.
It's clear that you don't like Apple or Microsoft. I'm sure you have plenty of real world experience with both to have based your clearly rational decision. Could you, however, explain what ever the fuck you were trying to point out using English and maybe the proper words? It would help us to better call you the faggot that you are.
>>52446592
>Centralized updates are a bigger mess
fucking how? at least you GET the updates.
Benchmarks always have android phones lagging behind in single core scores, which is arguably much more important, and easier to develop for. there's still apps for android which shove most of the work onto one core.
>>52446566
Based Samsung.
>supports Galaxy S and Note series
>android 4.1 up
>>52446686
>which is arguably much more important
It isn't, on Android.
Apps on Android scale well across multiple cores. Apps on iOS may be more reliant on single core performance.
>>52445761
They sell an extension cord for the pencil so you can charge it without looking like a jackass separately. This is Apple were talking about here
>>52446686
>fucking how? at least you GET the updates
Actually I always had multiple possible upgrade paths, one of which I pursued instead of the stock one when the stock one sucked.
I wished I could have done the same with IOS back when I still had it, glad to be rid of it.
Ditto for Windows 10, that shit will be a problem eventually, moving forward.
Ah yea, stock vendor updates on my older phone are being delivered after 3+ years, not that I still use that one. Cameras got better, so I switched.
> which is arguably much more important, and easier to develop for
That's just an IOS impression. Android is regularly busy doing stuff on even eight cores, no big problem.
Also is related to Android having real multitasking.
That IOS can't do this stuff yet is a severe drawback vs. how we generally make modern CPU / SoC / APU / ...
>>52443600
how much did satan pay for your soul?
>>52446930
No, at the last minute they added a female to female Lightning converter into the Pencil box so that you could charge it with a cable.
But you need to buy an aftermarket male to female cable if you want to connect it to your iPad without plugging it directly into the jack.
>>52443781
Pretty sure the last time they did something like this was with the Lightning port, and they're still alive
>>52446139
>Yes, market share matters, the software exclusives are giving more and more of an advantage to Android.
I like how more people use Android, yet developers are still more likely to develop for iOS first
>>52447083
iOS is where mommies credit card is.
>>52443839
>DAC in headphones
Fuck I didn't think of that, what the fuck was applel thinking? That's literally forcing people to buy something like a Fiio E07k or something to get any kind of decent sound quality
>>52443812
>lighting to 3.5mm adapter
>digital to analog
When people realize that the adapter isn't going to be just a cable like most of them are they're going to flip their shit when they realize they won't be able to use their beetsâ„¢ headphones.
>>52447109
What's better is that the DAC will obviously have to be before the conversion to analog, which means either in the Lightning connector on the headphones, at the joint on the headphones, or in the headset itself.
And if you have earphones with split wire then you will need two DACs if the DAC isn't in the connector, one for each earpiece, which brings in the possibility of having them perform differently.
>>52446341
and if you know anything about headphones you would know why integrated dacs and amps are a fucking terrible idea. it's only purpose is to jack up the price on fucking terrible shit in the style of beats and bose, so headphones which don't sound any better than $5 IEMs but cost $200+. I just keep using my regular old analog headphones which actually sound good thanks.
>>52443554
Well their stock has been taking tumbles, and going up and down like a rollecoaster the last few days, maybe even their investors are giddy about their next product?
>>52447163
Knowing apple it'll probably be at the Y-section, fitting a DAC into a connector casing isn't easy.
>>52446930
there's a huge difference between their optional proprietary stylus and every headphone in existance
>>52447051
What? Change one propetary connector for another propetary connector?

I knew there were retards on /g/ but.. Jesus Christ.
>>52443585
This nay be the saltiest macfaggiest thing i've ever seen
>>52447245
I guess the annoyance was more with all the products, like docks, built around that 30 pin connector that would no longer work without an adapter, which was huge and added more strain to the connectors.
Yet again apple innovates. 2 ports become 1. Device gets thinner. Progress is made.
>>52447193
Especially considering that the connector is already housing the Lightning DRM chip.
People were mad when they removed CD drives, too.
Few years down the line:

Fuck you, it is JUST A PHONE, ffs! I have an android and i stopped caring for apple a long time ago, and the only place i get annoyed with their existence is here.
I hope people like you suffocate when they hear how well fucking aplel did agian with some pontless device.
>25/10 MAD
>>52447513
That's because a better technology, the internet, existed and was rapidly improving. The last time I used a CD tray was when I was installing Oblivion from the disc. But what's going to replace headphones? Bluetooth? We've had bluetooth headphones for years and nobody uses them because standard headphones are superior. Apple is trying to predict a trend here, but I don't think they got it right. I'll eat my words if they did though, but if my friend's father is using the same headphones he bought ten years ago, I highly doubt Apple got this one right.
>>52443585
Take away the card/viewmaster/8-track/floppy shit, then get rid of the hand strap+stand and make the android switch less retarded and i would absolutely buy one, assuming it has a decent battery life and top-tier DAC.
>>52447542
>hurr unimportant
It's very important you dumb fucking cunt, it's replacing a standard with a dumb bullshit which will increase the cost to EVERYONE (headphone manufacturers need to design 2 of everything, they're going to make it more expensive to compensate) all for retarded jew reasons that will end up getting reversed after the EU fine these dumb fucks heaps.
We'll still be left with a fractured, floundering headphone market and the possibility of other dumb shit phone manufacturers (ie, samsung) copying this shit.
>>52443554

>>52447704

It wont take long before lightning replacement sure cables show up.
If anything you are more prepared than most.
I'm a bit mad to see the normal headphone jack gone and i would rather see another open source alternative that every manufacturer can make headphones for but the thing thats bothering me way more is this "MAKE IT THINNER!" meme. Literally everybody i know (iOS user or android user) are mad that phones get thinner and battery life gets shorter. You literally have to buy a fucking 6" phone which is thin as fuck to get 1 and a half day battery instead of going for a medium thick phone that holds for 2 days
>>52447832
> sane people will abandon apple
> implying sane people use apple products
Am I the only one who thinks that instead of actually using the lightning protocol they'll just send analog over the cable? Is really easy. Set a fixed resistance over the headphones' data lines, the iPhone recognises that it should send analog audio, audio signal comes in over VCC. They should've done this with USB-C but still, they get away with it and will sell millions of convertor cables.
