  1. Last Saturday I think I understood exactly why # wants to do away with the headphone jack: Their software sucks.

    An enduser was trying to do something so silly as using a video output adapter (HDMI) and simultaneously play audio. I'm assuming the audio came through HDMI, but apparently you couldn't get any audio from the headphone jack. Also, any settings/configuration menu is far too advanced for any Apple user.

    2. @mmn There was a serious payment market for various readers for iphones that use the iphone jack that directly competed with Apple Pay as well  - doing away with the headphone jack let them do away with all of their competition on new models in one fell swoop.
