We need 6.3 jack, so phones would have bigger battery and will not be dead at the end of the day. Not overheat and have space for innovations.

Get yourself a soldering iron. I fixed the snapped wires on my headphones countless amounts of times, and I also replaced the worn-out mousewheel on two $30 mice at the cost of $5 for parts.

It is better to always have that option.

Just removing the Headphone jack SOLELY to make the device another 1mm thinner is just fucking stupid. If they had an actual reason like a bendable screen that could go around your wrist like a bracelet or some other shit, at least it would be justified.

this is kind of a silly concept though.

surely we will need (and eventually use) "headphone adapters" and little machinations for the iphone 7, seems this will be a rather costly project. but isn't this what apple wants? for us to spend more money on something that should have been included in the first place (a 3.5 mm headphone input?)

wireless headphones imo aren't always reliable

Without Apple competing in the tech industry and leading the way, innovation from its competitors will slow to a turtle's nest. The other companies are too afraid of taking risks and only follow something when Apple proves its viability in the consumer market. We would still be using 320x240 devices with resistive touchscreens if it weren't for the iPhone.

>>54857123
Yes, thanks Apple for killing the physical keyboard on mobile devices :^).

The vast majority of people love virtual keyboards. If they didn't, most phones would still have physical keyboards.

The market follows what consumers desire. That's capitalism.

>Less frequent updates
Seems only consequential. It's not like there's been any kind of revolution regarding smartphones in the last couple of years. Apart from CPU, GPU etc nothing substantial has happened since the 4S. So I don't care. Especially because redesign for redesign's sake is idiotic. In fact, I think the iPhone 4(s) design is still the best smartphone design ever. They never should have changed it.
>>
>>54852865
>implying official renders and details are "leaked"
>>
>>54858196
Less frequent updates in the design only.

But yeah, there is no reason to change the design every 2 years. iPads and macbooks had the same design for way more than that and there is nothing wrong with that.

The items you mention were succeeded by superior tech. Removing the 3.5mm jack isn't being replaced by superior enough tech to justify its removal. It's just Applel forcing its sheep to buy either an adapter, or, fucking Beats. kek, losers.

If other companies do this then you can also say goodbye to USB ports now that wireless charging is a thing, every single file on your phone would be saved to your *insert company* account and that will be the only way to backup your information.

This is just another part of the masterplan in which google and microsoft are also involved, everything made with the excuse of making phones less fat.

id be in favor of wireless earphones/headphones when battery life improves a lot, like to the point where charge once a month or something similar.

Wireless headphones would just add another thing to the list of things to remember to charge before i go to bed at night, i already gotta charge my smartwatch, phone, laptop and battery bank.

read the article, they're still gonna release new phones every year, they're just not gonna be complete new designs, so instead of a new design every two years like 5 after 4/4S and 6 after 6/6S, you'll have to wait 3 years for a new design.

Not true, the iphone 6 that i've had since launch is not one iota slower now on ios 9 than it was on ios 8, so you can ignore any site hat says otherwise.
With that said, the older iphones like the 5 and the 4s run like molasses now :/.
