Apple's Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter for the iPhone 7 supposedly surfaces in Vietnam

28 July, 2016
Most rumors talking about the iPhone 7 have mentioned that this year Apple is ditching the 3.5 mm headset jack for good. So at this point, after hearing this information from dozens of different sources, we're pretty much convinced it will happen. But, you may wonder, what will Apple do to keep its fans' anger in check?

              I thought it almost funny when the mac lineup dropped firewire from a new model, and a customer complaining about camcorder compatability was told to "just buy a new camcorder"('Jobs public response)
              That to me was a crazy ethos

              Adapters are fine; allows transitions.

                Apple is making a bet and based on its actual situation I don't think this is a good idea at this time. Jobs used to come out with new things and not change things that could disappoint half of its customers

                    Uhm... It shouldn't be hard to make a protective case that gives you extra juice with lightning port AND 3.5mm port. How's that? It shouldn't be a problem I guess with a reasonable thickness since the phone sliced some dimensions. I'm really not hyped about this phone but I think I'd get one and it's gonna be good. I liked it when I had my very first iOS device (iPad Pro 9.7) after using Windows and android devices. Nothing against them but I love the fluidity and guaranteed software updates for as long as the hardware can hold on for each Apple device.

                        AnonD-434295, 29 Jul 2016The one that cost $100That's my point, manufacturer must give people the flexibility, either they will plug the headphone into 3.5 mm jack or usb-c. They cannot say 3.5 mm jack need to be removed because they want to give premium sound quality. 3.5 mm jack must stay there.

Imo apple will release its own converter with external DAC, or DAC inside the headphone, probably beats since its own by apple. Sure it will come with high pricing.

                            Some headphone manufacturer has begun to build USB-C support headphone, recently JBL announce such thing. Microusb soon will become history.
