if they lower the quality of their product people will stop using it and they'll lose profit
though because profit correlates exactly with quality :)

I didn't know they could lower the quality even more than it is now
but with apple who knows and even if they could lower the quality they would probably ask for the
same amount of money

only thing i have to say about this excellent video: is it really that expensive to waterproof a
3.5mm hole compared to waterproofing the new hole?
i can get that it could be more expensive but he emphasizes that it's "extremely" expensive in
the video. would be interesting to know exactly how much more expensive it is, even if it's an
estimate.

I know people who have been running iPhones since their debut who are switching to Android
because of Apple's greed and continued dedication to proprietary technology and royalty streams.
It's typical corporate thinking: we have a loyal established user base, now we can start screwing
them. And they fuck it up for everyone; those loyal users grow disillusioned and migrate, and the
corporate entity then loses that loyal, established user base they decided they could exploit.

This guy completely doesn't address something in this video - the headphone jack itself.
It's an ancient, over 100 year old (seriously) analog standard for carrying audio information
that WE DON'T WANT TO BE USING 100 YEARS FROM NOW
does every accessory need to use the proprietary apple port? NO. There is another option, being
wireless, which is what apple is encouraging here - that is what they mean by courage. They are
trying to drive change in the industry by removing the shitty analog jack.
No, I don't agree with apple's decision to do this so suddenly and to not do it across the board
- their macbook's still have an audio jack. But the headphone jack used today has many downsides
and plenty of better options exist already - just because it's popular is not a good enough
excuse to continue using it. If that was the case than innovation would never occur.

Well, they could have fazed it out, by allowing both the wireless and the jack.

>their macbook's (sic) still have an audio jack.
Think about it, Mackbook is a tiny fraction of their income base. Their bread and butter is the
mobile device market.
Where would YOU focus your gold-digging efforts? (Apple also has roughly 8-10 percent share of
the computer market, so this dilutes the impact of Macbook on Apple's Pavlovian nerve as well).

But seriously folks, the Wheel is a pretty fucking old invention too, but it's still the best
tool for its jobs.
You can't get any rounder than the wheel, nor copyright it. You can only add fancy proprietary
hubcaps. That's Apple's problem.

you're wrong
technology doesn't need to be replaced just because it's old. 3.5 mm is an excellent way to
transfer audio, nobody hears any difference at all. even you.
i honestly wouldn't care if i were using 3.5 mm 100 years from now, unless i got some kind of
cyborg ears then of course
in addition to everything this guy said you can repair 3.5 mm very easily, even if it's the
actual plug that has broken.
meanwhile apple's top secret tech cant be repaired by common people like me who just solders etc
for fun and if you want a shop to repair it you bet your sweet ass they will have gotten
instructions from apple to just replace it with a new one
tl;dr im sick of the "it's old tech" angle

>being wireless
that's not why they did it, he even addresses this in the video. there's no wireless power
charging in apple's products because they haven't figured out how to make money from that yet.
they would have to licence that tech from a different company and despise the convenience for
their customers they just wont change to this wireless technology. they dont give two shits about
wireless for wireless' sake, don't fool yourself

they had to first waterproof 2 holes now they only have to waterproof one. it is less expensive.

do you live in a world where wireless headphones aren't 4x more expensive than regular ones?
