HOW WILL APPLE REMOVING THE AUX CORD AFFECT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY???

[macadomusic]

i have a funny feeling 20 years from now theyre gonna say all this bluetooth shyt is killing brain cells severly. it all seems very odd.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

nikka every car I know uses an aux even the latest 2016 models have an aux, to not have one is
blasphemy

my dj and producing equipment uses an aux not no bluetooth shyt, if i wanna throw a house party what bluetooth speakers are gonna have the same level of output as my aux speakers that's in the same price range?

y'all are fukkin wylin, and for the record i'm 22 so trust all my homies that are my age are gonna feel the same way about it

get this baloney outta here, tf you mean the iphone not gonna have an aux. apple better come correct if they want these sales

Yea I was dead ass on a lot a couple hours ago and every model has either an aux, or both aux and usb hook-up, so I don't know where this myth about aux ports disappearing. They're practically like having steering wheels or gas tanksseems like Apple is just trying to stir up something that's not even there

1. Bluetooth sucks.

2. Battery life sucks.

3. I wouldn't mind if the battery life technology wasn't stuck in the fukking 1980s.

Pretty much this. Direct connects are always better no matter how far technology advances.

Still a damn shame in 2016, as phones supposedly get better, the battery life gets worse. I swear my phone from 2007 had a better battery life than my current one. These current batteries are Razr status.

nothing wrong with driving a 08, if it rides good and gets you where you need to go fukk what anybody thinks, especially these bouji ass coli nikkas.

I drive a 2003 Lexus LS 430 and use a tape recorder that plugs into my aux. I give zero fuks

 

[Maschine_Man]

This is dumb to me. Apple just wants to keep hitting you for accessory money. Knowing damn well that adapter is getting lost

possibly. Who knows right now.

I think we will know how this turns out when the next version(7s?) comes around.

 

[Maschine_Man]

Speak for yourself don't try to group everyone in. Most people listen to music from their phone while running or at the gym. A lot of people use aux everyday. Not everyone has a newer car with Bluetooth(I do but a lot of young people don't). It's inconvenient for no reason.

but I was speaking for myself. and other ppl that are in the same position.
there will still be an adapter to hook up regular headphones. this changes nothing for those that hook up cables.

When do you use your iphone with your DJ equipment?

Who DJs house parties off iphones and bluetooth speakers

nikka if u just wanna run the playlist off ur phone and not touch it. Plug ur phone in the charger. Plug ur aux cabe in and ur good to go. 2 things u CANNOT do with the new Iphone. I have a studio as well and I DJ. But what means by DJing ain't 2 turntables. It's just throwing a get together and using ur playlist. It's like yall are purposely being disingenuous.

 

[Maschine_Man]

nikka no its not a lie. Their accessories are pure profit. Most people don't buy phones flat out. And the stores barely make overhead on their phones. Apple accessories are overpriced as hell for this reason. If u factor in their Macbooks and Ipads n shyt like that. It's a different story.

what?
where did you come up with this lie?

yes, accessories are huge profits. but they don't even make a dent in the amount of money they make in others places.

the iPhone is killing it for sales.
iPad is still going strong
add in the app store plus iTunes, plus sales of other hardware (MacBooks, iMacs,apple watch and apple tv and more).
then add on other services and shyt they sell (apple pay, apple care. iCloud,etc.)
not to mention Apple Music subscriptions.


man, accessories aren't even touching that other shyt.

plus, there are so many third party manufacturers of those accessories that cut in to those that apple ain't even worried about that shyt.

YES YOU CAN. What part of this was not explained that the new phone ships with an adaptor? Why do you guys keep arguing like it's impossible to use an aux cord with the new iphone?

Talking about being disingenuous and you are sitting here purposely arguing as if it would take an act of god to find a way to get this to work.

None of you bytching were getting the new iphone anyways

 

[HARLEM AL]

Removing the headphone jack has literally zero benefit to the consumer and will inconvenience millions... BUT nikkaS ARE DEFENDING IT

This is what I don't get. Haven't heard anything positive about removing it.

Only thing I'm see is nikkas telling others they have to upgrade there whip and shut the fukk up.

nikkas are sheep when it comes to Apple.

Bruh who the fukk wants to carry an adapter with them just to plug their phone up I've had enough of yall

Talking about being disingenuous and you are sitting here acting like it's some impossible feat to use the aux cord on the new phone.

No. You Cant. If I use the adapter for my aux. HOW am I gonna charge my phone and listen to music simultaneously?

No, people are purposely ignoring it. I gave multiple reasons why....

- It makes way for them to make slimmer devices

- It will help water proof the phone better

Here is the #1 reason....and all the people bytching about being audiophiles and all that....

The limited size of the 3.5mm headphone jack, meaning sound quality suffers as a result of a smaller, less expensive amp and inbuilt digital-to-analogue music converter (DAC). Lightning connector headphones contain their own amp and DAC, putting the manufacturer in charge of the audio quality.

 

[O.Red]

Some of y'all fake bougie nikkas trying way too hard with this fake ass flexing

Nikkas lame for passing the aux cord now? Your homie never put you up on any new music???

Bluetooth is cool but that shyt can be just as annoying at times. shytty sound, janky ass connections sometimes, etc

Nikkas flexing acting happy to be gaining an inconvenience

IPhone 8 gonna come out without a mic and speaker and nikkas gonna be like

"Man you broke ass non telepathic nikkas need to catch up. I ain't used my voice since 09"

bruh, NO ONE is forcing you to spend $800 on a damn phone.

y'all keep acting like this is the only option you have and you HAVE to buy it.

if you don't like it, don't buy it.
