Apple fans are likely already well informed that the new iPhone is now without a headphone jack. Apple users were already unhappy with the lack of the HTMI cable on the new laptops but an HTMI cable was a bit of a niche use. Headphone jacks are a daily use and is a big market takeover with the headphone jack-less phones. Firstly, if you are uninformed of the new change, I will bring up the two main pieces of information. The majority of users are Android users that are on Samsung products and Beats and Samsung audio are starting a new Bluetooth audio line.
With Samsung moving over to no headphone jacks, a bunch of earphones become invalid for many users. This move feels like a huge market takeover for audio companies and users alike. It feels unethical and improper to take awake headphones. Bluetooth is not a rising trend that needs this type of attention. The move feels like a dishonest marketing decision and I will be staying away from the Galaxy and iPhone until any further announcments are made on the new phone lines.
