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

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

Not everyones stock radio has a USB port.

Damn usa backwards

 

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

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

In europe they are, i forget that usa bkwards

 

[Not The Ruler O9]

Why put it bk? The rest of the world isnt as backwards as usa. Cant remember the last time ive seen someone use an aux in uk

drive on the correct side of the road first

I got a 2016 car with Apple play so this ain't a big loss for me just gonna have to get a quality pair of wireless headphones since this looks like apple is gearing towards everything wireless stupid decision but ehh

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

Speak of people being "simple and close minded" when you lack basic life skills like reading comprehension brehs. I mentioned the inclusion of the adaptor on my post. For some reason you think adding an adaptor that could easily be damaged or lost makes up for the inconvenience and how anti-consumer this radical move by apple is, it does not.

Some people have invested hundreds of $$ in third party high quality headphones that are pretty much rendered incompatible with their phones if said adaptor is lost or damaged unless they forked out even more for a replacement adaptor, which in itself is already a hassle having to connect headphones to adaptor to then connect said adaptor to phone, also, the logistics for these connections might not be compatible for when people are exercising or when, as it has already been mentioned in this thread, people want to listen to music + charge their phone at the same time. The ease of connection to aux chords and the attached social factors have also been brought up ad nauseam, if you don't get it at this point, you're just dumb or a social recluse or a paid apple employee, or overall just an idiotic consumer.

All these factors could/would be mitigated and potentially bearable if the gains from removing the headphone jack were substantial and tangible, they are not. You're essentially trying to spin less usability on your device into something positive while trying to frame people as "close minded" for rightly questioning the loss of features without getting anything substantial in return, that's comical.

Then again, this is the same website that has members openly supporting music streaming services having exclusivity deals for artists' content, all for bragging rights, despite how anti-consumer those approaches are. So all in all I shouldn't be surprised

I could understand nikkas openly pushing apple's agenda if you guys were apple employees, it wouldn't justify it, but it would explain it. That doesn't seem to be the case here tho, its just nikkas happy to be seeing other people get fukked over and them paying more for less for no other reason than "apple gang ".

anyway, this will likely fall on deaf ears and you def not about to convince me that sacrificing the headphone jack for no good reason is a positive so don't quote me again.

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...

probably depends on the carrier. on sprint, u used to pay $200-300 to upgrade depending on which phone u get. my phone bill is only $54 a month (after discount) with unlimited EVERYTHING. then my wife's is $79 a month after discount. on her phone they charge you a "device access charge for discounted devices" which effectively negates getting an upgrade. thats why my phone shows upgrade eligible. better off buying it outright at the jump, not be on a contract and have the phone totally unlocked right from the start.

???? What???

You can use Apple Music on data if you want. Or download the songs on to your phone over wifi to not have to use data.


You dudes stay making stuff up.

But lol at the bolded, is that all huh?

you obviously misunderstood what I said, try reading it again.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Apple stay doing cats dirty on the low....

And dudes stay defending them

It's funny because I've never heard anyone advocating for them to get rid of headphone ports and going wireless.

 

[GPBear]

Planned obsolesce, brehs.

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Can you guys stop saying it's going all wireless? You can still use your current wired head phones.....you need a connector that they provide. New headphones from companies will of course have the lightning cable connection as they make big money selling accessories. You are not locked into 'wireless or nothing'

On top of it, switching to the lightning cable connector actually gives you better sound quailty over shyt regular 3.5 mm headphones and wireless bluetooth streaming because the lighting cable can move more data than a bluetooth connection can....

 

[dontreadthis]

Didn't read a WORD.

Wow. I used to defend u but u be on ya bullshyt on here and now u even doin it wit me? When u losing ya argument u resort to shyt like this.

this shyt killed me

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.

I'm old and an outlier. I recognize that.
I wish they did make cars with turntables and mixers like you were joking about earlier in the thread

They would if we just reboot this....

ehh, i guess. i don't really care about being under contract, it's not like i'm about to be switching carriers every 5 months or some shyt. only two carriers worth a damn IMO are verizon & at&t. i'm been on at&t for forever, got unlimited data grandfathered in and being GSM - their phones are easier to travel internationally with. i don't think it's wise at all to pay $600-800 for a phone if the only thing you're trying to avoid is a contract - which i believe the main 4 carriers will buy you out of if you decide to switch,
