As expected, Apple has removed the traditional headphone jack from the IPhone device The method of connection using the Lightning port and also a new way to connect wirelessly, supported by the new Apple AirPods and several Beats headphones, was launched. Of course, there are those who oppose change, but we mentioned several reasons that make it so inevitable in an article Why wouldn't we be surprised if Apple got rid of the headphone jack Apple tacitly mentioned it at the conference, but in a meeting with BuzzFeed, three Apple employees mentioned other reasons that you know about in this article.
"Courage"
This is what Apple said at its own conference. According to Apple, no manufacturer has dared to throw away a technology that has been in use for 150 years, and its last update was fifty years ago, and all that was done was to make it smaller. "It's a dinosaur!" So said the Apple employee at the meeting. Even wireless solutions (via Bluetooth) remained bad in Apple's view, and they decided to start the change and found a new wired technology as well as a new wireless method that only requires a touch to connect the headphones to the device.
Valuable space
I quote an Apple employee advertised saying, "The entrance to the speaker prevented us from adding many things that we wanted to put in the past. He was fighting over the place with better processor technologies and developments in the camera, and if there is a better alternative (meaning the entrance to Lightning) it should be used directly." The employee spent 15 minutes explaining and among the examples is that the iPhone 7 now has optical image stabilization unless it was possible before, and the iPhone 7 Plus has a dual camera and there was a device that contributes to controlling the camera that was placed before the camera, but now because of the camera Bigger Apple couldn't put it there. Guess where they put it? Yes, in the old headphone entrance location. Also, removing the old entrance made it easy to replace the old Home button with the new one, which works with the technology to sense the depth of touch on the glass like Macs.
the battery
You may have heard that Apple has added two additional hours to the life of the iPhone. This, of course, comes from reducing consumption as well as increasing the size of the battery. Now you know where the extra batteries are located. In the place of the headphone entrance is removed.
Water resistance
Staff also said at the meeting that removing the headphone jack played a major role in finally achieving the device's water resistance.
"We just developed a better way to deliver sound."
This sentence was in response to Apple's accusation that it changed the entrance to the speaker to Lightning in order to impose censorship on the elements that are being listened to, such as pirated clips, for example, but Apple employees responded that these words are merely reactions characterized by "paranoia", meaning paranoia or paranoia.
The future is free of wires
Although Apple gives users a headphone that works with the Lightning port with the device and also an accessory to connect old headphones to it, what Apple really wants is for users to use wireless headphones - specifically headphones that work with the new technology it announced with the AirPods - so Apple is slowly leading the industry to abandon wires. Completely.
last word
From utilizing space in additional devices through better battery life and ending with a future without wires .. Apple employees justified their company's bold move, which we have been preparing already for a year thanks to the leaks that I began to wonder if it could be intended to prepare users psychologically? Perhaps, but in all cases ... the future of the acoustic input appears to have been forged.
What do you think of Apple's justifications for removing the headphone jack? Do you think that the future is free of wires?
