The rumor mill about the iPhone never stops. The next iPhone, all according to rumors, will be presented in March-April and will be a 6-inch iPhone 7c (or 4c, according to some sources) that will have a metal case, A9 processor and compatibility with Apple Pay, among other things. The next normal iPhone is expected in September and there are many rumors that circulate around it. The most recurrent tell us that iPhone 7 will Waterproof; the most recent ensures that the next iPhone Plus will have a model of 256GB and larger battery. There is another rumor that sounds strong: the iPhone 7 will not have 3.5mm port for headphones.
As on many occasions, these rumors come to us from China. The middle anzhuo.cn assures that sources of the assembly line confirm that Apple has decided to eliminate the 3.5mm port and will only leave the Lightning port. This would force the launch of new headphones and the sources assure that they would not have any connectors, if not that they would be Bluetooth.
But is this possible? This new information does not match recent rumors that the new EarPods would use a connector. lightning. Using the Lightning we would hear the higher quality audio and it is something that to me, at first, I would not care. Using Bluetooth headphones we would lose quality and, something that I would not like too much, we would have one more device to charge the battery.
All the rumors also tell us about a 3.5mm to Lightning adapter, but nobody knows if this adapter will come with the iPhone or will have to be bought separately. Most likely, Apple will sell this adapter separately, which would make them earn money by selling the accessory to us. The latter is what does not seem right to me, since we all have many headphones that until now we can use with any iPhone that we will not be able to use if we do not buy the new adapter, which although it is said that it will have a reasonable price, we all know the prices that come to us from Cupertino. In an ideal world, Apple should include the adapter in the box of the iPhone 7. In any case, everything is to enjoy better audio.
In principle, both information do agree because if those from Cupertino want to bring the audio to lightning they have a spare 3,5mm port and I suppose that the box will include headphones with that connector, if someone wants to use another type of headset it is logical The adapter is sold separately, as is the case with HDMI adapters and other add-ons. For me it would be a success to centralize everything in the Lightning but let's see how we manage to charge the mobile and listen to music with our headphones at the same time.
I agree that you can save the 3,5 Jack, but not that they nail you 35 euros for the adapter. If it is included in the box perfect, if not (which we already know not) it would seem like a very dirty move by Apple
Mother of God how do you swallow with everything. No wonder Apple is making more and more money.
Apple does not do this (if in the end it does everything to point to that if) with the intention of improving the sound, far from it. If not, what happens is that a € 300 Bose headphones ??? Do they give low sound quality? Because the connector is the same.
Apple does this so that the helmets that you can use ARE ONLY THEIRS, which look like new !!! Some suggest something of a 3.5mm to Lightning converter, but it is that even "dreams" that Apple can include it in the box, ha ha ha. I said, are you new ??? You will sell the accessory (as you do with ALL accessories), separately and at an exorbitant price. But why the hell are we going to swallow with forgetting the millions of 3.5mm helmets that exist and of which you will have, like all of them, dozens of them at home ??? Many times I could not find the official Apple helmets and I have simply used a couple of the dozen that I have at home to listen to some music, or simply not to disturb my partner with what he was seeing or listening to.
That you are telling me that the Beats headphones that Apple sells in its stores at a scandal price (scandal for the quality they give, therefore I withdraw the Bose, not if they are stupid, although later the clientele forced them to put them back) they hear bad? You are telling me that ALL music professionals who have been using the same type of connector for years and years have no idea and are all going to run to buy Lightning headphones (with a clear converter), due to the incredible and indescribable difference in quality. Sound???
If what they want is to improve the sound, they simply improve the telephone connector but not that with the excuse of improving the sound quality they remove the millions of headphones out there at a stroke of the pen (many for 4 pesetas but to get out of the hurry are worth us perfectly) to impose yours that will be worth, as well as the adapter an arm's length.
Then Jose Abril Jr finds a good key, I don't know about you but I am listening to music and charging the iPhone at the same time on many occasions. How would this be done from then on? Don't worry, I already have the solution and without even having investigated it ... Apple would take out another accessory at a gold price to be able to do both at the same time.
Of course, many of you have what you deserve, accessories at the price of gold that do not cost much, simply because you allow yourself to be fooled. If this comes true in the end, it is the push that I would need to change platforms, that they fool you, of course not me.
Hi, Alfonso. You are right about some things, but not about others. The 3.5mm jack can deliver one quality, but the Lightning port will be able to deliver more. It is related to data traffic.
Although it is also true that listening to today's digital files, it will not be noticed. But if we listen to a vinyl with a Lightning or another port that can compress less, the quality will be higher.
A greeting.
Wow Pablo, now it turns out that most of the people listen to music from vinyl. But let's see, you can tap a vinyl on an iPhone ??? Maybe it is that I am ignorant and I had not realized that our iPhone (I have 6 and I have had 4 and 5) and I had not realized that it had a plate on it. I don't know maybe it's a 6s or 6s Plus thing and in the box you get a plate, which is a Technics?
Already being serious and you say it yourself «Although it is also true that listening to today's digital files, it will not be noticed». That is to say that so much history and in the end the difference in quality will not be noticed ??? We are going to renounce a connector in which redundancy is worth we can connect millions of different headphones for something that 1st we are not going to notice any improvement and 2nd will make us have to buy "special" adapters or helmets through noses ??? But are you crazy ???? And do you really celebrate this ???
I do not give up anything. I prefer a port that you can plug any headset into and that doesn't need to be charged. I only comment on the news. If they give me the adapter, I don't notice anything using what I already have. If not, I have already said that it does not seem right to me.
Anyway, this is also a movement that helps to evolve. As a recent example, the USB-C port on the MacBook. Apple works like this: it forces evolution. Now many have started using USB-C and, in the long run, we will all win. We will win in speed and possibilities. If I had to say what will happen, either the Lightning will become standard or a connector will be created that will perform the same or better. But I repeat that it does not seem right to me if they do not give us the connector, eh? About € 900 and € 30 to be able to use any headset I do not think that makes anyone happy.
Pablo, how can you say that this is a movement that helps to evolve ??? You know as well as I do that the European directive is going to force Apple to adopt a new connector that will be common to ALL devices. It may be USB-C or something else but you know as well as I do that it won't be the Lightning connector. I repeat, this movement if it is really confirmed will only serve to fill Apple's pockets with loose headphones and especially with adapters for lifelong headphones. Apple is not the leading voice in technology, nor is it, much less now, the one that sets the standards for others. That is to say, they are not the ones who "force" anyone to move forward, not now, perhaps in the past it was a mirror where everyone looked at each other, but with the disappearance of Jobs and his team this went down in history.
€ 900 and € 30 will not make anyone happy ... I assure you that Apple, and apparently to many of those who are commented with joy or with "pasotismo" the disappearance of what is perhaps the most universal connector in history seems to also, which I can't understand.
I certainly have it clear, if in the iPhone 7 they force me to do this, I change the platform, I will not contribute with my money to fatten the huge portfolio of those responsible for this action in my miserable opinion.
I say that because others will get nervous and move. If Apple theoretically offers a higher quality port, everyone else will have to do something. Headphone makers, like the ones you mention, will at the very least use the USB-C port, and we all win in the long run. Smartphone manufacturers will also use USB-C, a much better port than the current one. The least likely, but not 100% rulable, is that Apple will release the connector.
But, ultimately, if this is confirmed, you will see that everyone will move and we will have better connectors on all devices.
I'm with you when it comes to the USB-C port and I'm sure it will be the next industry standard. Apple will release it simply because if it does not do so, the EC will have to find another and force Apple to use it or will prohibit the sale of devices that do not include the standard connector that is mandatory for manufacturers throughout Europe. I suppose it would be a matter of survival of its connector as well as being the company that created the standard, which is far from trivial.
But what we are talking about here is not the USB-C connector and you know it. This possible move by Apple is not made to "advance" or for the industry to advance (this is already brought by USB-C), this is only done to fill the pockets with those who buy their phones and thereby abandon the market. standard and the millions of headphones that exist for it. Another thing would be that the iPhone 7 only included the USB-C port ahead of everyone and this time if, forcing all other manufacturers to include it (prior release as you say and forced to include an adapter until the 3.5mm connector disappears ) and thus make your connector the new industry standard. If this were the case, I would not say anything because, as it is very well said, you have to move forward, but this is not what we are talking about, and as I say, you know it.
I have also thought about it. Without any doubt, it would be the best for all users. The downside is that headphones with the Lightning connector are being made, so it won't be in the short term. Right now it doesn't come to mind if any of these Chinese outlets have mentioned the Lightning or just eliminated the 3.5mm port. If they gave the connector away, okay. But Apple earns a lot with accessories and they sure sell it ...
For me, Bluetooth headphones are uncomfortable because I have to charge them. And of quality, because what goes through the air will never have the same quality as what goes by cable.
Everything seems wrong to Alfonso, I don't know what he will do around here.
If for great bt, goodbye uncomfortable cables, if it is for the L connector, I do not care I never broke my headphones.
Whoever buys them in Chinese for € 3 will surely break a few
You are very wrong drawer to me, not everything seems wrong to me, simply since the death of Jobs and the consequent sudden dismissal of Scoth Forstall (Jobs's right hand and vice president of iOS), Apple has taken a huge turn in all its policies. Before the iPhone yes, they were expensive but there was none, but no doubt that it was the best mobile phone on the market. The fluidity of the hardware / software set was beyond doubt and the terminal renewal pattern was what we all expected. The iPhone 5c arrived, which was an absolute failure and for me it was directly a scam (this terminal cost me a lot of discussions on the blog, even with the bosses but in the end the reason was given to me by sales). IOS 7 arrived, which was a setback in terms of the interface in every rule, abandoning the preciousness that had characterized Apple by changing it for some shameful icons, completely annihilating the shaded ones, annihilating all the work that Forstall did that converted the iPhone and Apple in what I became and now is ceasing to be to replace it with, as I say, shameful icons and a totally flat interface, without life, without design, without anything.
The issue at hand (the abolition of the universal headphone jack) seems incredible to me, although it seems more incredible that some even celebrate it. Bluetooth helmets you say ??? But if that you can do it right now !!! But by God, don't take away the universal connector I have always used, in which I can connect everything from some really good and expensive helmets to the classic blue ones that RENFE gives you. By God, if even the writer of the post affirms that in digital files (mostly mp3s to understand each other), we are not going to notice anything at all !!! I repeat, but are you crazy? How can you celebrate this? How can you celebrate that they take away the universal and cheaper thing to replace it with something exclusive, expensive and without any really plausible improvement? How can you be fooled in this way and on top of it celebrate it ???
I'm going to give you a very graphic example ... Let's suppose that they actually remove the connector and I buy the iPhone 7, it turns out that one day I want to listen to music or watch a video without disturbing my partner and I can't find the Lightning headphones that came in the box, And I don't know where I have put the adapter either (which, as you all know, would have to be bought separately); So yes, at home I have dozens of 3.5mmm helmets, some solemn bad ones and other great ones, what do I do? With my current iPhone 6 I have no problem, I use anyone, the one that angers me the most, with that supposed iPhone 7 without a 3.5mm connector I can put up with it and either I don't hear or see what I want or I have to go to another room. Do you really celebrate this ??? This example that I give you would be in my house where it is more difficult not to find the original Lightning helmets but you know as well as I do that it can happen anywhere, on vacation, in the pool, at sea, etc, etc. You can buy helmets for 4 dogs but no, much less for four dogs, you can buy Lightling helmets. What do you do if you go on vacation and inadvertently leave your Lightning helmets at home? But don't you understand that this is nothing more than a ploy, yet another, to continue fattening Apple accounts to our detriment?
Alfonso you speak as if you are absolutely right, in part you are, but look at it… To what extent was the iPhone 5c a failure?
And now I tell you something more important, and record it well, if you want to listen to music with some pieces of headphones, simply buy another mobile with the 3.5mm connector, period, there is nothing more to talk about, what do you think once it seems bad to you, it's worth it, but that you go asking if we are crazy and those things it seems unethical to me that a person has such a vocabulary.
Here we are all free, no one forces us to buy such a product, and we are many in the world, many clients, not everyone has your point of view just as no one is the same in the world.
Commenting on the 21-line article ... which seems to me a bit in the absence of information, we already knew this news and I was waiting for a patent that would give more clues, this is more of the same, it is still a rumor that little sounds.
If they remove the 3.5mm connector I hope they do it for a good reason, it is annoying yes, but the world evolves to a world without cables, keep it in mind, like it or not, that the wireless charging if you like it? We must look to improve and evolve and put aside what combines us with each one, and look for everyone, who said that there is not nor will there be a wireless technology capable of supporting the best sound quality ??, I do not understand the qualities of sound and respect for those who are demanding with it, perhaps this sacrifice entails that in a few years a better bluetooth will be developed if it does not already exist, that it supports this quality, or who knows, like who predicted the iPhone?
This is the philosophy of Apple, the same as always, improve, evolve, innovate, simply that before there was not so much at stake, you played something, you improved and few things changed to bad, now there are too many factors and it is difficult to touch something without some put your hands to your head.
and with this we will move on to the 8000 series aluminum. Apple continuing to slim down the device for nothing and beware. As the jack is fulfilled and the adapter is sold separately if I dare to say that a resounding failure, of course, the fanboys will say any nonsense to justify it. Time to time.
I like Apple products and if their strategy is as Alfonso says, sell us more accessories and that everything we have on hand, in the suitcase, in the backpack, at home, in the car and at the office is Apple products, I understand his strategy and it is valid, he has the influence to do it and those with the purchasing power will do it that way. On my own, I have been with an iPhone for about 5 years and a lot less time with an iPad, but as time goes by, the need to change for the latest model has disappeared, many things influence this to happen ... for example in my country Mexico the dollar price It has increased exorbitantly and the prices of all foreign products are on the rise and if we talk about Apple, Bose, Sonos products, etc ... well, much more, but outside of this economic factor, an important factor is (in my opinion) that It does not offer something innovative or functional, for me the 3D touch is indifferent, also with iOS 9 it has disappointed me a bit, since it has caused a lot of conflict with some of its products, I have an iPad mini 2 and I updated from iOS 8 to 9 and the truth is that I am very slow. Greetings to all.
Look, since I bought some wireless beats headphones for 379 euros ... I'm more than satisfied ... no cables or dicks, just Bluetooth ... it's the future ...
Wireless is the future ... in my city few people carry cables ..., almost everyone carries wireless ... it is more comfortable and much better ... sooner or later we have to get used to the new even if it hurts us ...
Another thing is that if you remove it, what does it matter? There are very good wireless helmets for a low price and that work very well over bluetooth.
Whoever says they have never broken their helmets in the area of the plug LIE ...
If you afford an iPhone for 1000 bucks you can afford to spend 30 ... Just think of the s6 with their wireless charging bases for 79 if I'm not mistaken ... Now don't say that iPhone is expensive and all that because the s6 are just as expensive ... since Samsung released said ships (which are beautiful) no one has complained about the price ...
But just thinking that sooner or later we have to move forward ... staying behind is a mistake ... because technology crushes us ...
Alfonso, this is Apple, you seem uninformed. From the iPhone 2g he receives criticism for not being able to send photos via Bluetooth, or not being able to send songs, or for having to connect it to iTunes.
Failure seems yours when buying a product that you do not know.
Let them do what they want with the fucking headset, I have an iPhone because despite those things, it is the best phone for me.
They neither cheat nor cheat me, nor do I think they cheat Mercedes users, because of their high repair prices, because they buy what they like.
Welcome to the free market.
I ACCEPT ALL THE ADVANCES OF APPLE BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT AS IOS 9 HAS MANY WHITES IT IS SPENDING MORE BATTERY NOW ONLY EXCEEDING THAT IOS 10 IS COMPLETELY REDESIGNED BY REDUCING THE WHITE AND BRINGING MORE THE GRAY AND BLACK BATTERY SO THAT THE BATTERY IS NOW BATTERY HEEL OF AQUILES SERIOUS Q IF APPLE INCLUDES WIRELESS HEADPHONES Q I HOPE Q IT IS VDD THE BATTERY WOULD EXPEND MUCH MORE HAVING THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTED ALL DAY THE THING IS THAT I EXPECT TO SEE A WELL STABLE IPHONE
PREPARE YOUR XQ CHARGERS IF WE NEED IT 🙂
