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

[beenz]

What is the reason for them to even do that? It's not like it was taking up too much space.

supposedly trying to make the phone thinner, but we are at the point where phones really cannot get any thinner to be honest.

breh, its 2016 n you using aux?

use an official ipod/iphone dock most audis, bmws etc come with them as standard

my car has , dvd, Bluetooth, usb, ipod dock, and a built in audi 1TB hard drive... using an aux is not needed.

you are aware that most bmw's and audis are not the standard car most people have. so kill that.

any newer car will have usb or bluetooth these days. if you got an older car like me, then

$800? How many people are paying full retail for these phones...stop it. And for most people - on the two year upgrade cycle - you're on the brink of needing a new phone regardless, I know my iPhone batteries have turned to shyt at the 2/2.5 yr mark. You don't need a new head unit, especially if you're only getting it to have Bluetooth instead of an aux not to mention the cost for double din units is much higher, then you gotta pay for install as well. All that because your phone manufacturer said so...nah.

I'm only getting a new phone every other year. and now that cell phone companies aren't offering subsidies with the phone, you might as well pay full retail. that's what I do at least. even if you get an "upgrade" they will charge you like $30 extra every month which negates the discount you originally got in the first place.

Guess i'm sticking with my 6

can't understand how anyone would be ok with, let alone celebrate the removal of something that facilitates usage and makes the product more convenient for a wider audience. Especially when whatever potential benefits aren't even readily identifiable or tangible. nikkas really in here like "yes apple!! restrict my product!! the more anti-consumer the better!!". wild.

this move is neither innovative or useful for the consumer, it actually feels quite archaic, and the inclusion of the adaptor proves that. It is making you, the consumer, to do "more" (in this case using an adaptor) to get the equivalent usage you got out of older models. technologies should push the envelope to include more methods of usage, not less, unless the gains were potentially so significant that justified the loss of "older" technology, that is not the case here. the headphone jack is getting sacrificed for what? non noticeable design form?

best post itt,
i guarantee they will put it back on the model after this.

LOL @ me having a car fully paid for and working fine and aquiring a new car payment just to get bluetooth and impress nikkas. That's why nikkas financial situations be horrible. Gotta stunt and keep up with the jones'

I'm wit u. my car is a 2005, and drives just fine. no need to get a new one. like I said, I'm not upgrading phones, so I'm good using the 3.5mm with my phone for the next year. dunno what I'll do next year when I get a new phone, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

So cause Apple alone makes a dumb ass decision that only benefits them and inconvenience's the customer. People have to adapt? Guess what? Cars STILL have CD players in them. Even with the tech moving forward. Cause they know people still use cd's. Removing a fukking headphone jack benefits no one but Apple. This shyt makes zero sense. 3.5 Jacks are the standard everywhere. This new iPhone is literally the only ones pulling this shyt. Yet ur comparing that to CDs? There's literally no sign that headphone jacks are on the way out. Especially of nikkas don't dikkride everything apple does and don't support them with their money.

I saw you post earlier in the thread that you do home and auto audio.
I hear that CD players aren't standard in cars now? My car now has a six CD changer and all I listen to in the car is CDs. Will I even have the option of getting a CD changer in a new car?
What about after market? I hear they are phasing them out to make way for the bigger navigation system screens?
@OnlyInCalifornia you can weigh in on this too if you know breh.
I just want to listen to my Infamous CD in the car brehs

I've never paid more for my bill after upgrading. My bill has been $74-78/month since 08
Cost to UG to base new iPhone is usually $199...

You're forgetting how annoying it is to connect/setup your phone to the bluetooth in somebody else's car (the main reason aux cords are used these days)

They just wanted to sound cool online

They are including the adapter for those that fail to adapt right away. They are only including it for a transition period to stop ppl from completely crying and losing it.

Y'all so simple and closed kinded

Cd players are still standard. CD Changers is a different story.

Most people want navigation, most people want bluetooth for hands free talking / controlling their phone......people want the bigger screens in their car....I don't see the CD player being gone right away but it's coming in the next 3 to 5. Just like they don't make cars with cassette tapes. These are 'standard' features now, basically. That's why you don't need to buy a fully loaded cadillac to get em anymore. In 07 you needed to get the top of the line fully loaded package of a car to even get navigation or bluetooth. You can cop that regular KIA or Honda Civic with it now. Even the lower end Civic comes with bluetooth and a usb port now.

They do focus groups, they compare data of cars sold with what options, they know that more people stream from their phone than they do popping in CDs. People are mistaking what I've been saying. No one said run out and buy a new car for bluetooth but rather, anyone who buys a new car is getting it regardless, it's standard.
