Yes, I know they are saying the adapter will come with the phone as well... just saying even if it didn’t its a few bucks to buy one... this entire thing is just nonsense

Everyone is spinning this a billion ways to sunday and its just stupid.

Again, look at an iPhone 6, the largest opening in the case is that 3.5 MM jack... and the part inside the case is actually slightly larger than the opening.. to get the iPhone any thinner the jack had to go.. anyono who didn’t see this coming, wasn’t paying attention.

This wasn’t some awsome move to shift the headphone industry or the music industry, it was simply.. We can’t make it any thinner unless we get rid of this jack... What are our options?

Well, we could do pure wireless/bluetooth, but that would mean having to ship some sort of bluetooth headsets with the phone... and that’s a pretty expensive option... and would probably eat into BEATS bottom line if we just gave away a good pair of bluetooth earbuds.... So, whats a cheaper option? Drive he audio through the lightning connector and modify our existing earbuds to connect there..... Okay, done.

That’s it... that’s all there was to this folks... Sure they would love you to spend $160 on their wireless earbuds, but that isn’t why they dropped the port... the port had to go, to make it thinner.. pure and simple.
