Why Apple Removed The iPhone's Headphone Jack
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- In 2016, Apple introduced iPhone 7 which generated controversy thanks to their decision to remove the headphone jack. It came as a shock to many, who felt the feature was essential. So why did Apple do it? Well, the reason actually had more to do with iPhone X than the iPhone 7.
Imagine being a company that makes too many weird decisions that there’s a whole RUclips channel that does nothing but try to explain them
LMAO
IKR WHAT THE HELL IS WORNG WITH APPLE

Idk why people refuse to accept changes..
I love Bluetooth speakers..
@@ChairmanMaow Bluetooth speakers have nothing to do with headphones…
@@ChairmanMaow why the hell would I use a blue tooth speaker while you can use blue tooth headphones
There are multiple holes in this argument.
1. Water resistance with a headphone jack can't be as hard as they say,since my phone is IP68 and has a headphone jack. (not to mention only cost 400$ before sale with good specs)
2. Assuming it was such a big issue to fit the headphone jack under the display controller, can you not just move the headphone jack to the top? Especially with apples engineering it would take up little space in the phone and offer valuable functionality.
3. Finally, I don't think it's as hard as they say to fit a headphone jack under the display controller. There's quite a few android phones that do it successfully.
People can just look at samsung phones.
@@renatosardinhalopes6073 Uhm, what about LG phones, and Sony phones. Samsung isn't the only phone company. And they certainly aren't the best either, after all they pioneered the removal of the micro SD card slot.
@@LindonSlaght man you don't have to get so triggered by him mentioning Samsung lol
@@onesteeltank sorry, dealt with two many people lately who seem to think Samsung is the only phone company in existence.
@@LindonSlaght np dude
I'm calling BS. Removing the jack was purely to sell wireless headphones, removing it for a phone that had no benefit doing so to prepare people for the phone that needed to do it is a ridiculous claim. Apple has some of the greatest engineers and designers in the world and you are saying they couldn't come up with a way to have a edge to edge display without removing the jack? Not to mention this all happening conveniently as they start releasing wireless earbuds at the exact same time? Yeah, sure
to be fair, this is the same company that put the Magic Mouse’s charging port on the bottom
@@kingdededelicious Yeah, but I feel that is more of laziness, making the battery rechargeable without redesigning the mouse to have a port in a more convenient place and instead just putting it right below the battery. Apple sells way fewer mouses than iPhones, so way less people would be complaining. I'd expect their flagship products to have more thought and money put into the design process.
Exactly. It's all for money
YES, this is what I said aswell. They just want you to buy their other products
Exactly, take the Pixel 4a for example, they managed to incorporate a headphone jack inspite of having smaller bezels
There is no way you have not explained this before… I could have sworn you covered this topic!

@Dan My phone has an edge to edge screen and a headphone jack and it is from 2018.
@@slapshotjack9806you everyone has 200 dollars to spend on mediocre headphones
So they were forced to remove the headphone jack but managed to keep the charging port at the same side of the phone? And why don't just move the jack to the top side of the phone?
$$$, what a coincidence they started to sell the airpods the exactly same year
And the Steve Jobs era had the Jack at the top, so your argument is valid, though the answer is easy, simple and dirty...
My thoughts exactly.
@@mewtwo.150 I think they should have introduced the airpods a year later with the iPhone X, so people wouldn’t be so critical about introducing them when removing the headphone jack
@@mewtwo.150 not only AirPods, but also mfi products, which apple makes billions on too
You caught 'em off guard 😂
It’s funny how other companies make fun of Apple then copy them 😂😂
True, and deleting those mocking videos like nothing happened 😅.
@@MaimiZhang exactly like make it make sense
yeah and then copy XD
@Cüneyt Jr. Do you work at Apple? How do you know their next moves? Reading bullshit on the internet?
@Cüneyt Jr. Wrong. While all companies use the design ideas of others to some extent, and that is including Apple, Apple much more sets the trend. That's obvious to anyone paying attention. And when Apple copies the design of others they almost always are late with it but its implementation is almost always industry best. That's because Android makers are competing heavily with each other and race to be the first on a feature (sometimes that's good, sometimes it is a largely worthless feature implemented poorly). The latest example of that is 129 hz refresh. Apple was slow to it while Androids were putting them out as fast as possible, some very crazily done. ProMotion came and it was industry best.
Apple will not do a teardrop. Apple will likely not abandon FaceID (again industry best implementation). Apple will not hole punch at the cost of FaceID, they'll implement a hole punch only when it can maintain FaceID as is. As to why Apple does it this way, this very channel Apple Explained has a video about Apple's Human Interface Team and the power they carry over products and features versus competitors whose R&D carries more weight. See it to understand this.
BTW there's benefits both from those who are late but do it well and those who get feature out ASAP. The amalgamation of the two usually benefit us consumers.
This decision still infuriates me to this day
Gotta agree with you there bud
Me too.
Upgrade. I was mad too but technology keeps advancing. I bought myself cheap wireless headphones and used it for a long time before buying AirPods
@@dbmedina9172 How is it an upgrade when you remove the reliability of a cable to replace it with very disposable trash that sound like shit? My Philips SHP9500 sounded fine. Meze Empyreans sounded fine. And they use headphone jacks. They don’t even need amps that powerful to run them! Instead, Apple forces down my throat their airboyes that have no subbass and are unreliable af… I know people who have collections of headphones from the 70s and they sound just as good as back then. Airpods? They’re gonna die in 3 years when their batteries will give up
Edit: typos
@@dbmedina9172 That’s a downgrade. Not all of us use wireless headphones, and losing functionality just to exclusively work with the latest tech does not constitute the machine being “better.”
Just gonna point out the headphone Jack was removed nearly 6 years ago now🥴
I think I’m over it now, just about. Not over the removal of the main button though. 😂
Still I prefer the phone with headphone jack, so I can listen the music with my favourite headphones without struggling with adapters. TWS are better for commute tho.
@@AndyK.1 really? I really like the gesture control.
It's been a fun experiment without the headphone jack.
But now we need to bring it back.
Headphone jack don't have to charge the battery secondly much louder better sound quality
AirPods were the reason. Full stop
After switching from a 7 Plus to a 13, I greatly miss the small amount of real estate on the front. This trend towards having no "bezel" at all is frankly dumb. It leaves no area to grab a device, whether it be smart phone or tablet, without inadvertently activating some function on the screen!
I don't get why the whole thing has to be touch sensetive. Basically at this point it would be better if they just had some sort of line telling where touch ends.
The blackberry playbook is one of my favorite examples of useful bezel. A uniform somewhat decent sized bezel around all sides which you could easily grab onto, and they used this bezel space to put front facing speakers (way clearer then the side facing or down facing speakers that almost every modern phone or tablet uses) as well as a pretty nice landscape webcam.
Can’t you grab onto the side of the phone or the lip of your case? How do you use your phone?
@@IceBlueLugiaI really have no idea what they're talking about.
I only had the same issue with curved displays. Thank god that got removed in the S21
Not all facts were true behind the removal of headphone jack. There is plenty of space inside iphone X for a headphone jack and samsung had water resistance of IP68 against Iphone X’s IP67 with a headphone jack. Infact, sealing a headphone jack is far more easier than USB port or speaker grill.
But creating a demand for a product that only you will sell for a fairly long while and thus getting a lot of money at the cost of customer happiness does require removing the headphone jack. Also possible by making your charging port completely unique, in fact, why not do both and get double the money?
instead of investing in reasearch of waterproofing the jack hole, they decided to take the easly street and remove it.
To get users to buy AirPods
Create a problem, sell the solution. Apple has done this multiple times and unfortunately it makes them a lot of money. First removing headphone jack and introducing airpods. Removing ports from macbook, introduce several dongles with those exact ports in them.
It’s to push technology. They seem like the bad guy but someone has to do it
@@jasonfockler8320 I was joking
@@jasonfockler8320 not really, if they wanted to push technology they should have given type-c port on iPhones and also their wireless codec suck, they should support LDAC or LHDC (like most Android companies) on upcoming iPhones if they really want to push technology.
Yeah and I don’t think I should get AirPods because I’m scared I’ll lose them easily
The actual reason is that all non apple products which plug in through the lightning connector needs to me MFI (Made For Iphone) certified, in order to get the certification the manufacturers need to pay apple for it. If the product isnt MFI certified the phone will just refuse to charge, play music through wired headphones, etc. It was basically a way of making mire money.
ye it's impressive how many lies this channel keeps pushing to justify apple's decision. 99% of their weird choices comes down to money and nothing else...
@@DeathsingerQc true
When your company design your own hardware, your company dictates what can fit and what can't. Admit it, Apple removed the headphone jack to sell airpods, which start at about $170 a piece in addition to the $1100 plus entry fee for an iPhone. It was purely a business move not one made due to hardware or engineering limitations.
and it was a SMART move for them to do it! because they realized the future of personal audio is wireless... I just don't like how they don't admit it.
@@qazmko22tell that to the premium wired headphones
There have been (and still are) edge to edge phones with headphone jacks back in the day, though. Maybe it was an easier way of achieving it on the iPhone? Although to be honest, it being just a test/prep for the 10 would also basically explain why there was just an useless piece of plastic in the jack's place on the iPhone 7.
But truth be told even though I'm using a Redmi Note 7, a phone that *does* have a headphone jack, I always use my pair of bluetooth earphones instead, mostly cause of the fact that I'm not that much of an audiophile as long as my songs 'n whatnot don't sound like a compressed mess with just mids and nothing else. The slight disadvantages that come with it like a tiny bit of latency and having to recharge the buds every 5-6 hours or so in the case mainly aren't a big issue for me, especially when compared to the positives such as not having to deal with tangled wires and the cable starting to degrade overtime.
I just would've preferred Apple not making weird excuses for it like "courage" or something, is all. :P
My biggest issue with wireless earbuds is the latency and I don't want to buy a separate pair for "gaming"
Mind giving evidence to back this up? "..There have been (and still are) edge to edge phones with headphone jacks back in the day, though. Maybe it was an easier way of achieving it on the iPhone?" Samsung Galaxy S22, which was released earlier this year, was the first Android phone to have bezels that are on the same level as iPhones. Tons and tons of Android fans know this, it even made a headline in newspapers. You are here talking bullshit and getting likes. This just shows me how cheap and ignorant Androids users like you are.
Honestly I use wired earbuds more since they’re more convenient for me. I fall asleep listening to music every night, and having to fully recharge my earbuds each morning was a pain, which is why I use wired earbuds. I have a pair of Galaxy Buds Pro that I use when exercising or when I’m not home, but at home I prefer wired.
The only issue I have with bluetooth headphones is the microphone, so far I haven’t found any wireless headphones that has a decent mic, even a 10$ wired pair of headphones has better mic quality than my AirPods Pro, and those are the “least worse” wireless headphones mic I have tried.
The actual reason is that all non apple products which plug in through the lightning connector needs to me MFI (Made For Iphone) certified, in order to get the certification the manufacturers need to pay apple for it. If the product isnt MFI certified the phone will just refuse to charge, play music through wired headphones, etc. It was basically a way of making mire money.
thank you for informing me this 6 years after apple removed the headphone jack

@@dexteroreilly exactly like look at the channel's name and content it BREEDS fanboyism
Because he is an Apple Sheep, easy
I guess apple pays him for making excuses.
well most of his videos are trash and his arguments are horrible like: the headphone jack was removed because of slimmer bezels, there are dozens of phones with smaller bezels that have the headphone jack lol
I still miss it.
"Courage."
Still remember it like it was yesterday :D
i understand why they said that now
Hugh Jeffereys in his recent video has explained none of the claimed reasons in this video, like wrapping of the display controller and better ingress protection has anything to do with this decision. Like he mentions, Companies like Samsung have been releasing similarly IP rated phones even with headphone jack and if JerryRigEverything's video shows us anything, it is abundantly clear that the only true reason behind this move was them dollars.
I remember the days when people where actually excited with each new iPhone being released. People expected more new features. Now, when someone tells me, hey did you hear about that new phone Apple have released, I'm just, meh. My iPhone 6s works like a charm, plus I have 3D touch AND headphone jack.
I also used Iphone 6 for years until it can’t download the latest ios anymore. I was forced to upgrade my phone :(
@@mpkanimations2101 just Got iPhone 13 because of the same reason i bought
The adapter to jack stick so linda dissapointing you have to upgrade your phone every 6 to 7 years with Apple
the 6s and se are my favorite phone. I really want an iPhone 6s 64gb, though I will probably never get it
The answer is very simple: create a problem and sell the solution
But, what about the charging port? Charging port is also a problem for the display panel.
oh yeah, thats some 5 head thinking
Oh no please don't,what if someone from Apple read this and tell the other staffs to remove the charging port in the next Iphone generation 💀💀💀
“Mr. 7, I don’t feel so good…” 0:06
But how does Xiaomi have both thin bottom bevel and a Jack?
The audio quality of bluetooth doesn't stack up to that of a wired connection. Though the next generation of headphones will be ultra wideband.
My girlfriend still rocks her iPhone 6S and the wired beats headphones that came with the purchase of her 2017 MacBook Pro. I also had a 6S until recently, but my headphone jack broke years ago, so I have been using SoundPeats Q30 bluetooth earbuds.
I mean if you care about audio quality then you're better off using a lightning DAC as you can get a more powerful DAC than is built into the iPhone. In which case the phone has a headphone jack is irrelevant as that better quality DAC has one then.
@@jarboer 100% . The only situation where the benefit of wired connection can be audible is when using the microphone on a call, where the other person will hear you better. Although being able to listen to lossless could be fun with a wireless connection.
Also call quality takes a huge hit even the cheapest wired headphones sound better when used as a microphone
I remember when headphone jacks were on the top.
Short answer: money
I use an old Samsung and on this phone it has a teardrop small notch and really small chin. But it also has a headphone jack at the TOP. Why not do that instead??
Android phones are great examples of waterproofing and having headphone Jack
Yea but the s phones don’t have one
Removing the AUX port was to curve the bottom OLED panel to fully remove the bottom bezels.
@@DainHunter And that's a necessity as we get even closer to a near 100% screen to body ratio for smartphones.
@@doreroul6159 the reason why Apple is slow at doing things is because of their high standards, and i love that. Its quality.
The curve on the OLED is implemented perfectly
@@DainHunter Definitely, even when I used Android I didn't understand the Apple hate or bashing them for being slow to implement features. Although I do wish Apple would finally bring an always on displays to the iPhone. The battery life can definitely support it.
Ok. But I’d rather have the headphone jack back. Are there really people out there who need their phone to be super thin with no bezels? I like having the ability to hold my phone and not be touching the screen.
Or, they could just put in the sides.
@@vidyasagardaud8518 hmm? Put the headphone jack in the sides? Yeah that could work too. I just wanna charge my phone and listen to music at the same time. The splitters make the start stop button not work from the headset based on reviews.
Xperia 1 III put the headphone jack at the top, so the actual reason is to sell wireless headsets/earbuds
Yes, and there’s a notch up there. Exactly his point. So bad example
There are other phones with edge to edge displays that have a jack
its funny how android companies always criticize and make fun of apple before they copy their moves
So true
It is more true with the charger now
@@iminacatsuit heard they may even go portless in the future but speeds will have to increase for that to work practically
@@DEFECTEDSTREETRACER The battery life will do "Brr" then... knowing apple they don't allow changing the battery without getting penalized unless you pay apple themselves to change the battery, that will be a bit screwed
@@DEFECTEDSTREETRACER Yeah the 15W magsafe is insanely slow, and that comes from a guy who genuinely doesnt give a shit about charging times xD Also the back gets very hot and that concerns me of the lifetime of the battery.

What game-changing benefit would it serve for iphones to have usb-c?
@@chrisjfox8715 universal compatibility is a massive one. Any phone charger would charge any phone without dragging different cables around. The android world and literally everything else is united, while iPhones are left with an aging connector from 2012. Its really that which stops me going near the prospect of considering an iPhone right now.
@@francoismurrell4604 yeah, Apple doesn't want to be united lol... Their entire business strategy is forcing the use of their proprietary accessories
@@chrisjfox8715 USB-C has ridiculously faster data transfer speeds and power delivery compared to lightning. But, Apple sells lighting cables for $20 to $40. So, why change?
@@francoismurrell4604Charging with other charger that not too compatible with device can hurt your battery lol
Note that for audiophiles was a good thing since the dongle had a DAC or a sound card that was way better than the one on the iphone 6s
Seriously, most phones prior to jack removal had such awful built in DACs I cannot fathom why anyone would even want to listen to music out of their phone. The fact that this meant that Apple was supplying Lightning-3.5mm adapters for a few years literally improved the audio experience even if people weren't aware of it. When I see people listening through $300 headphones out of their phone via the 3.5mm jack I cringe.
IMHO the removal of the jack was virtually nothing. It was something that would eventually come due to not only the shrinking bezels and increase in screen size but the move toward greater water resistance, durability and importantly the internal space of a smartphone has a critical need for every square millimeter they can gain (battery, radio antenna etc). ,There already is a headphone jack, it is called the lightning port (or USB-C or whatever is on an Android). A cheap short dongle clipped on the end of your wired ear buds and there's your headphone port.
If I recall the iPhone 7 came with a dongle. I'm sure Androids put them in the box for a generation or two.
IMHO if there was a big deal it is that they no longer included free earbuds. That was a substantial money difference to phone makers. But even now Apple and other phone makers could include a set of earbuds with the appropriate connector type or dongle (instead of the standard 2.5 jack). Not including it not only saved them money but all of them increased revenue with TWEB. Apple haters like to crow about Apple but almost all are guilty of this.
Some dislike the latency and audiophiles dislike what compression required by Bluetooth does, but overall TWEB are so vastly superior user experience to the average user.
even the apple dongle is way better than a normal headphone jack
@@potatoeskimos Digital to Analog Converter: nope, you cant use a dac with a jack output. You need a digital output (lightning/usbc) to use an external dav
@@benhuriet000000 I didn’t say from the jack. An external dac is better than the dongle.
Guys: the answer to every “why apple removed the bal bla bla” question
Is to afford more space in the device, there might come the day where they remove the screen to afford more space
"we have decided to replace all of the buttons with virtual buttons because we needed more space"
Yes , they should remove batteries instead of removing buttons & screen.
I kinda wish they could bring it back, I really want an iPhone 12 mini but the downside is the earphone jack, I’d have to buy AirPods and I just like wired earphones more and only use Bluetooth depending on the situation.
Wireless earphones die fast and you can't get radio
Dude, just buy the lightning to 3.5mm adapter and then you can use your wired headphones. From my experience this is a preferred method than the 3.5mm socket as whenever I had wired earphones, the cable would always wear near the 3.5mm plug and break. Even Atomic Floyd Superdarts with kevlar cable wore out in less than 18 months for me. They were my worst purchase ever - over priced at £200, heavy aluminium buds that fell out of your ear and not brilliant in sound quality. After that, I wanted no more from wired earphones and moved to AirPods and then AirPods Pro. I've never looked back as I use them every night with my Apple TV 4K too. Plus films with spacial audio sound truly incredible!!!
@@BarcelonasHotCrowd when I switched to a new phone from an older one with a headphone jack I was sad to lose it because it meant 1. I had to get a dongle which was annoying and 2. I no longer can charge while using them
@Invalid_1016 that's why I don't like having to use the charge port , you can't charge while listening
@@francoismurrell4604 There are adapters that let you charge while using the headphone jack
Look, this is simple question with a simple answer
"Why did Apple remove the headphone jack"
Bro it's because:
Why not.
You know, this is not quite correct since we have phones with edge to edge display and jack at the same time.
He also mentions the oled for the edge to edge display, yet the iPhone XR and 11 have LCD panels :)
thank you, finally someone who doesnt believe this bs and points this obvious fact out
My very first Apple product was an iPod nano back in 2011. I didn't like the earphones that came with it, so I bought Sony earbuds. When I got an iPhone 8 Plus in 2019, I bought a $9 adapter from Apple so I could use my Sony earbuds (I buy those from amazon for about $10). I was surprised Apple was willing to make available that little adapter, since they'd prefer you buy their AirPods.
I have trouble remembering to charge wireless headphones. Even when I charge them I'm too heavy a user for their battery life so I have to have multiple pairs which is a pain to switch between. I can't keep track of wireless or their changing case and loose them constantly. Not to mention wireless earbuds are terrible if you are around dogs or babies who like to stick that kind of thing in their mouths. It's just not practical for me IRL. I never buy phones without headphone jacks.
Also you cant forget the amzing sound quality wired earphones give. But usb earphones make much more sense in todays date as every company is removing the headphone jack.
I feel that pain. It's the reason I am still using an IPhone 6s. good thing is I can still get the newest software on it.
Basically to help sell AirPods and to add extra water resistance
I remember competitors making fun of apple, to then delete those same videos lol
I hope that in the future iPhones will get a headphone jack again. I really miss listening to music through my older Apple earbuds with the headphone jack.
I am one who resisted getting an iPhone without the headphone jack, until 2019 because of its removal. Thankfully, something like Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge Rockstar iPhone Lightning Audio Adapter, or the 3.5 mm version of it with either a dual lightning connecter or a lightning and 3.5 mm connecter, to replace the experience of having a headphone jack.
What?
He means, with a dongle, you can return the 3.5. Even get one with an amplified DAC
Also notice at launch with the iPhone 7 and X they initially included a dongle and a year later you had to buy it separately, including the phones mentioned above my iPhone X.
@@YetAnotherJohnSmith you got the most generic name
Thanks for the explanation. I can see the phono connector is much larger than the lightning one. Cheers!
Apple should bring it back imo
Why? Just use the lightning to 3.5mm adapter! Easy!
@@BarcelonasHotCrowd Because lightning converts to digital so you can't get lossless quality through it, and a lot of enthusiasts would rather not live the dongle life especially on their phones.
Notice the Calder date is the same as the iPhone 7

This channel has always excuses for apple eh?

@@moneymoney122 some people think that old means bad. It doesn't
I love how literally everyone thinks it's because of AirPods or the screen. The actual reason (not opinion, this is actually the genuine reason) Apple removed the headphone jack is because it would force ALL accessories made for the iPhone to use the Lightning port (the only port left), and since Apple made the Lightning port and therefore own the patent rights to it, legally no company can make headphones or any accessories for that port without paying Apple for a license to do so. Apple charge companies $$$$ for a license to make headphones or any accessories for the Lightning port and removing the headphone jack means companies can't get around those licensing fees since the headphone jack (which is not owned by Apple therefore they can't make money off other companies deciding to make headphones for that port) doesn't exist anymore. Unfortunately it was actually a very intelligent business decision to remove the headphone port because now everyone is forced to make accessories for the Lightning port instead, Apple actually makes billions (not millions!) per year out of licensing fees for the Lightning port.
One thing I've said ever since the FIRST MENTION of Apple possibly being forced to switch to USB-C on the iPhone is that Apple will significantly increase the prices of the iPhone Pro lineup (if not full lineup) if they're forced to switch to USB-C. Anddddd what do you know, the very first price increase of the premium iPhones just so happens to be happening as soon as USB-C is integrated.

Is apple actually told the truth, there wouldn't be as much backlash. A fulll edge-to-edge screen is wildly supported, and people would be alright giving up the jack for such a thing.
ik but i think they was trying to hide the fact that they was going to make a bigger screen iphone
If they did so, they would accidentally reveal their next move. It was a great job of them to cover this as a scandal. I remember many criticize them because of this and how weird Airpods looked to them. But, 2 years later, it was a big success. All those cheap Android smartphone manufacturers, not cheap in price, cheap in dignity, realized how stupid they were not to see it and still struggling to catch up with Apple in the true wireless earphones market.
The question now is why they could keep the ligntning port but not the headphone jack?
@@paum2 if you used your brain a bit more, you would know. Look at the shape and the size of the two.
Until they realise that edge to edge screen has nothing to do with headphone jack.
I call BS on the space issue. They could have just moved the headphonejack to the top, where there are no display connectors.
I hate that they removed it. I actually switched to the 2022 SE from my XR because I hate the notch / E2E display as well. So now my phone has everything I missed in iPhones, except the headphone jack. So I'm still using an adapter to split the bottom. Ridiculous that most new phones are like this too so switching won't even fix my problem.
I’m not the biggest fan of the notch. Though the bezeless design I do like. I honestly rather would have done a slim bezel on the top rather than the notch or punch hole
Apple’s competitors should probably learn to stop criticizing their decisions. Samsung has made themselves look like idiots so many times by criticizing Apple’s decisions only to literally end up copying and follow suit a year or two later.
And then they delete those videos in prayer that noone remembers xD
The reason why i have something against samsung and try to avoid the company is because of thr marketing, its dirty.
I love air pods other then the fact they need a charge
Even if the main reason for removing the headphone jack was to make the screen longer and remove the bottom chin thing, there is no denying that Apple also saw the opportunity to sell Apple earbuds and airpods.
No headphone jack to plug your headphones in? Buy our earbuds that plug into the charging port and only work on Apple devices! The screen getting bigger is almost certainly not the only reason why they removed the headphone jack. I know this video mentioned it, but it felt like it was brushed to the side.
Like hell they couldn't put a 3.5mm headphone jack in there if they _really_ wanted to. They literally put a gigantic "f*ck you" notch in the top of their "edge to edge" screen.
Nah, apple just cheap af
imagine a iPhone 13 with a headphone jack
I’m good man
No thanks
that would be amazing
I really miss being able listen while changing, it's a pain in the ahh to deal with wireless buds because you have to worry about battery, losing one of the buds because they're two separate pieces, or losing the case and then becoming completely useless because they can't be charged, and falling out of your ear.
Why couldn't them put it on the top like on most phones now
Next is why did apple add a virtual keyboard
There is actually a nice story there, look for the book of Ken Kocienda, he talks about the development of the iPhone keyboard and it is more interesting than you think. The qwerty keyboard was discarded at first until he made the autocorrect feature (that everyone hates nowadays LOL).
Apple Removed Headphone Jack : Apple are back with new innovation //
Nah, cuz I have an S23 ultra, and it has a pretty small bezel, and they crammed a whole stylus in it. It's also still waterproof. That said, they still removed the headphone jack, which I blame on the fact that Apple did it successfully. It's annoying.
HTC and motorola in 2016 removed a headphone jack when realesed Moto z Force and HTC Realesed 10 evo
Okay so closer to edge
Well you got them old phones that has literally no edge and I've seen some
But one thing for sure how to keep water out of your device
Keep it away or out of water
Don't be on your phone while it's raining or anything
Either that or just put it in a plastic bag or something
That's what I do if it's raining
And one other thing
Remove headphone jack and add more cameras???? Really???
Don't you need 1 camera to take 1 picture
My TCL phone has 3 cameras and they annoy me side by the teardrop notch
These new phones are getting annoying
I mean, or just buy one of the few phones which also have an IP68 rating and headphone jack. Or one of the many many many phones with IP67 ratings and accept u can't go >= 1 meter submerged (vs the iPhone 13's 4 meters for example)
The iPhone SE 1 was the last iPhone with a headphone jack
I lost my SE 1 on vacation and never recovered it ;( Damn i miss that phone, i loved it so much.
I tend to keep my iPhones as nostalgia haha
Short answer: so people start to buy air pods
Like EU is forcing smartphone companies to introduce removable batteries again, they should also ask the companies to implement the headphone jack again.
Wasn’t it the iPhone 7 was just an amazing phone.
not anymore lol, mine sucks tremendously
@@roxydouglas9414 should’ve got an iPhone 8
Nah 6s was better
@@roxydouglas9414 you probably need a new battery replacement
Yes,and still is.
A transformations from my investment of $4000 to a $12,400 in just 2 weeks , So excited here 😊
Same here, Makin a total of 4,250usd from my investent, all thanks to Mr. Steven Hatzakis
_Expert Steven Hatzakis never seems to surprise me i also trade with him, his strategies are top notch I swear_
Mr Steven services are indeed top notch, if it were up to me i will keep him to myself and not recommend him to just anybody.
Please how can i contact Mr. Steven Hatzakis? I want to invest with him too.
Thanks a lot, I'll send him a message right away...
Also the built-in microphone on the old earphones doesn’t work anymore so you must buy a bluetooth one.
Just amazing.
How people still buy all this crap is beyond me.
The headphone jack needed to go at some point, but the only reason it went away so early was that Apple wanted to sell AirPods. If they got rid of it sometime around the iPhone 12 or 13, when everyone was already using wireless headphones anyway, there wouldn’t have been much of an issue
Бред. У меня Redmi K20, в котором экран от края до края без вырезов и монобровей. И там помещается не только гнездо наушников, но и перископтческая камера. Реальная причина - продать тонну оверпрайсных наушников, заодно удешевив конструкцию отсутствием разъема под 3,5 джек. Они, "заботясь" об экологии, выкинули зарядники из коробок с айфонами, на самом деле сэкономив на них не только неизменившейся ценой, но и на логистике, так как тонких коробок можно больше в одну фуру напихать, заодно и бонусом наварились на отдельной продаже зарядных устройств. Эппл заботится только о себе, потому стандартный ответ на любой вопрос "почему Эппл сделали *херня_нейм*?" будет: "потому что деньги".
Lol. I ❤️ this channel, but why are we still talking about this? 😅😅
Apple removed it in order to profit more from separate, over priced earphones. Don't complicate things! There are full screen, no bezel android devices which are IPX68 and still have a headphone jack. Occam's razor : the simplest explanation is almost always the right explanation.
They figured out how to continue making the phone with wired charging, why couldn’t they continue using the headphone jack. I see another comment saying it was purely for profit, to sell wireless earbuds, and I couldn’t agree more.
I wonder something, maybe it's just me being clueless/illiterate, but, if Apple wanted to get rid of the physical headphone port due to the touch/display screen controller board, what about the charging port? Or, did Apple already get rid of the charging port on the iPhone to achieve that?
the charging port is smaller than the headphone jack so it wasnt an issue
@@TrinitysTalons hmmmm, OK.
They hadn't "Invented" wireless charging yet.
Exactly, the charging port is still at the bottom. Greg doesn’t explain that. Some of his videos are lame.
@@vidyasagardaud8518 I know you commented on my comment months ago, but, apple still hasn't figured out the idea of wireless charging? Wow🤦♂️.
This was and remains a huge blunder. This decision was probably from the same team that decided no ports on the macbook and butterfly keys. Truly idiocy.
cope
Honestly, I think it was more about pushing wireless earphones. When I worked at a big box retailer, I used to laugh at this whole idea. A lot of people would join in, others would laugh and like "come on though, I bought it!!" It was in-between the era of wireless earphones in general, but those were wired together like the Jaybird's. I owned a pair of those, but hated the wire so much. It just felt like, if there were going to be one, might as well just have it plugged in. It felt lackluster, along with a bunch of other companies doing similar.
Then Apple removes the headphone jack, we laugh, but then I realized it was genius. The wireless earphones of that time were going nowhere, nobody was pushing for better and it was a slow progression to reach what we have now. Then you see Apple release the AirPods. This forced a lot of companies to catch-up. Saw a huge boom in knock-offs or other bigger companies releasing their versions.
Apple doesn't care you or I didn't like the change. They're not concerned about that, if we leave and go elsewhere for business, they're satisfied with whoever stays. This felt more like a huge innovation push, rather then trying to do edge-to-edge or increase water resistance. Push the tech as far as it can go, to force everyone else to catch-up.
I've had one iPhone from around 12 years ago, and have been android since. I prefer it, because it is cheaper for me. But I understand now why they would do something like this, even if it pushed some consumers away. Those people who can properly afford Apple products probably didn't give a shit, or enjoyed the idea of something new.
That and credit makes it super easy to buy products from companies like Apple, definitely another target next to the one who can spend cash or pay debit.
Plus a lot of it is based on proprietary crap, which at this point if you like Apple products but hate that. Then stop buying Apple?
To push sales for AirPods and to further instigate the advancement of bluetooth tech...and that's ok.
@Hồ Quốc Dự it's perfectly ok considering no one's forcing anyone to buy it. There's other phones on the market that have headphone jacks if that's something that matters to you
Keep up the Good work!
it's baffling to me that they evolved from a music listening device to something which is just a statement basically
Honestly, I wish phone companies just replaced it with another usb c port.
It'll support the usb c parity companies have been wanting to do
Haven’t used the 3.5 jack in years on my iPhone and iPad. Don’t miss it at all.
Do people even use wired headphones anymore? Once I switched to bluetooth I never looked back.
Sure, if I want to listen closely to something in peace & quiet I`ll use USB or jack 3.5, but not a mobile phone while being....mobile.
I use both, wireless for convenience and wired for better quality sound.
More convenient for me - don't have to charge headphones and can plug sound from my phone into car stereo.
wired have the best mics, even any year in the future wireless headphone mics will never catch up to wired headphones mics
Nope, haven't used them since 2015. The sound quality loss is minimal and not even noticed by 90+% of people. And charging the earbuds or headphones every few days is really no issue. So much more convenient then a wire in the way all the time or huge ugly chins on our smartphones.
Sound quality. I use IEM's, could not buy a phone without a Jack.
The quick answer is COURAGE
personally I preferred the Home Button with Touch ID, I don't need my phone to have a huge display
It’s interesting how all smartphone manufacturers make fun of apple when they make an innovative change and then adapt the same change later
**cough** **cough** removing the charger and earbuds from the box **cough** **cough**
Like renting the phone and not being able to buy it
Samsung next 100% sure
What a cheap move right? That's why I can take Samsung smartphones serious and also their users. I just think that they are either dumb or blind or deaf.
@@ianphan2806 I do use a samsung phone currently, but I paid no attention to the company's bullshit
@@Sherolox love how samsung made fun of apple for taking the brick out of the box followed by them copy pasting it to their phones not even a month later
These videos have gotten silly now. I miss the old content of this channel. Apple Bios and history, your livestreams, and opinions. Not this stuff 😕 please consider bringing back some of the older stuff too
Yeah thats why I unsubscribed. I'm tired of these quick money grabbing videos. I miss his old mini-Apple documentaries. Once RUclipsrs reach 1 mil they stop putting effort into their content.
What's wrong with his short videos? It's nice that he doesn't stretch them out to 10+ minutes like other RUclipsrs. Why unsub and then come back to complain about why you unsubbed? Either watch the videos or move on completely.
@@doreroul6159 I just unsubbed. I did that yesterday. Can't i have my opinion or something? I told how i feel about it.
@@offspring9463 Fair enough. But I find it disingenuous when people say they're unsubbed but keep coming back to watch the videos and comment. There's clearly something there that's drawing you back. But if you just unsubbed...
the simpler explanation. “Courage”
Or they could have not tried to make it thinner and so they could have a larger battery while having the headphone jack.
Why is this still a question? Who even uses a headphone jack anymore?
Facts
Yeah
Who uses 90 minutes battery terrible audio airpods
Anyone who wants better heaphones? If you want really good headphones, they are wired, that's because it's better
The bad thing about AirPods is that they're easy to lose
