Judging by the comments of people about the Motorola Moto Z and the possibility that the iPhone 7 also lacks this connection, it seems that people want to resist the advancement of technology as long as possible. We are not talking about another connector than the 3,5 mm Jack, which will gradually begin to be replaced by USB-C, a digital connection that transmits good audio quality and that will allow us to save space and components. According to Intel, USB-C is definitely the new audio standard that will become popular sooner or later.
The Intel Developer Forum has been the preferred place for future Intel developers to make their position on USB-C clear. Not only is it more versatile and takes up less space, but the USB-C also offers an audio quality infinitely higher than the 3,5mm Jack, to begin with, because there is no loss of audio quality along the way, it is the digital age, except for audio, where most users end up opting for analog connections for no apparent reason. In terms of devices, the USB-C is available on the Galaxy Note 7, the OnePlus 3, the Huawei Nexus 6P, the Chromebook Pixel and lastly the MacBook. The last to join was the Motorola Moto Z.
It is almost a reality that USB-C is going to become the audio standard sooner or later. However, in the case of the iPhone it will not be like that, Apple will continue to opt for the Lightning connector for audio, so We will see soon adapters both 3,5 jack and USB-C to LightningOnce again, we have to resign ourselves to this position of exclusive accessories for the apple. But the really important thing is that we finish taking this definitive step towards digital audio or via Bluetooth, and we leave behind the analog technology that does not do our ears any good.
