Yeah, they are forcing you to “upgrade” to a more expensive item that works no better and is easier to lose. It is obvious that not a single one of you knew-jerk reaction posters even bothered to read the Quartz article at all, did you? Not a single one posted anything relevant to what was written about the technology in the article. Not one.
Knee jerks.

I did read the article.
I just fail to see how removing a jack, effectively making you headphones a Bluetooth device is an improvement. It just looks to be a way to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.

Why do you say that? I read the article, they are transmitting digital data to a DAC that resides in the headphones.
Does anyone think they’ll be transmitting 24/192 PCM or DSD256 to these headphones? Or that these headphones will contain a DAC such as you would find in an expensive standalone DAC?

Excuse me. Apple sux. I didn't read the Quartz article because it does not concern me, except for the opportunity to observe that faddism is still alive and well at Apple.
