They’re caving in to market demand with a headphone jack.
They stopped making the little shuffle. That’s all I needed.
Isn’t offering something the market has long demanded a smart and/or sensible economic move as opposed to caving?
No, read the article. No cellular antenna, plenty of space - to continue what was on the previous models, a headphone jack. No need to change the case design.
Incidentally, my iPhone 5s had a headphone jack in addition to the charge port. I don't miss it on my iPhone 7, because the charge port doubles as a headphone jack (headphones included with the iPhone 7). Why have two ports that duplicate functions?
