You really don't get what Proprietary means, do you?
No, "owned by a primary actor who controls the licensing" is literally the definition of "proprietary." I think you're confusing that with open vs. closed standard.
They're removing a feature so it must be progress right?I'm okay with it. It's time for progress.
There are 2 speakers, one in the bottom and another one on top.
They could already do that if they wanted. All audio is routed through apple APIs.What that quote is also talking about is things like Square

So sure you can attach it via the adapter but I bet Apple has more control over the data being sent over the lightening port and could identify when it's being used for non-audio uses
We are removing the audio jack because we have developed a better way to deliver audio.
Fuck right off, you dingdong. I can't even. Does he think we're four?

This line of talking points seems like grasping.
Is that statement necessarily wrong?
Yeah saw your update and that does seem like reaching
Honestly I just believe Apple is doing it to make more money off of airpods
Any technology controlled by a patent owner (or coalition of patent holders) is proprietary? BluRay and DVD are also technically proprietary? MP3 and H264 are proprietary? Force feedback in a controller is proprietary? I would not consider them as such.
It always struck me strange people just threw around the "proprietary" term like it was a pejorative, when so many licensed technologies end up being as widespread as open standards.
1
: one that possesses, owns, or holds exclusive right to something; specifically : proprietor 1
2
: something that is used, produced, or marketed under exclusive legal right of the inventor or maker; specifically : a drug (as a patent medicine) that is protected by secrecy, patent, or copyright against free competition as to name, product, composition, or process of manufacture
It's intellectually dishonest spin. All ports are filled with air, until you plug something into them so they can perform their function.Is that statement necessarily wrong?
Anyone can make a Bluetooth set of cans though. Samsung already has a design similar to Apple's own that are not tethered with a cord.
The lightning port is filled with air too.

So we have two ports filled with air. They deemed that some of that air should be allocated to something else.
There are a massive amount of bluetooth headsets available. I had a pair of bluetooth headphones like 4 years ago.
Holy Christ AirPods are the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen. I'm genuinely flabbergasted by this shit. No way they are staying in your ear.

I think removing the port is nuts.And none of them as good or as cheap as wired headphones. Which is the real issue. With any hope, this kickstarts the market and people figure out how to make wireless good and cheap, but, if you have to wait for the distant release of a third party product to make the proposition worthwhile, there is something pretty fucked up in the process, and no amount of adapters can change that.
Same reason Lexus owners don't want to be charged extra for seat belts.He makes some good points. I really don't get the "outrage" over its removal. The only good argument I've heard is that you can't charge and listen at the same time but I'm sure there will be adapters for that. When you are buying a $900 phone I don't get the opposition of buying a $20 adapter.
whats the courage meme about??
Or, you know, they could stop trying to make the iPhone the depth of a credit card?Solid article.
It ends up being the price of engineering smaller devices with increasingly demanding battery requirements, connectivity and functionality.
I'll be getting the phone and I'll still lament the loss of the 3.5mm audio port.
This would be an easier pill to swallow if the lightning port was a usb c port. A lightning specific headset can't be used on anything right now. Not even my macbook pro.
They are just the current EarPods design without wires. What's the problem with those?

But we do know what'll take real courage going forward — not being a model and wearing these things in public
I've never had earbuds that stay in my ear for any extended periods of time, especially when doing exercise and stuff. Those are just gonna fall out and get lost.

Probably could help to keep the headphone jack and their little features they just HAD to get rid of the headphone jack for.
Where is that air being used? To say the word courage? Doubt it's being used in the reworking of internal components to bring about any significant jump in performance to warrant it in the first place.
Anyone have those internal shots that were mentioned earlier in the thread? Can't find anything besides leaked board shots which do nothing to show the internal layout of things compared to the 6s.
also u have to buy the apple brand tree leaves for $25 a pop"We designed a toilet that doesn't have flushing. It took Courage(TM) to make this step,
but it's was time to change this 150 year old design for something we call the "iMer" I'm sure you'll love it."

Eimer is the German word for bucket. You pronounce "Ei" like the English "i".
I don't think they're intended for exercise or anything. Plenty of bluetooth options for that, and beats is making wrap arounds that will use the same wireless as the airpods that will be much better for that..
Sure, Apple removing the 3.5" port raises all boats in the wireless headphone game but I still believe Apple is doing it because when all these iphone 7 buyers look for a set of wireless earbuds to use with their now limited phones, they're going to at least glance at Apple's offering that is purpose built to be used for iphone 7 by the makers of iphone 7

It adds an additional cost concern, takes away a function, all without any good justification.it's hilarious how upset people are about a headphone jack
