      No headphone jack makes it even shittier than the rest of Crapple's products.

      That's a pretty significant loss of functionality. I get that they want to seal it for water proofing, but.... ugh.

        I don't get the love for the headphone jack.

        They are including an adapter, so you can still you traditional headphones.

        Whats the point of having two ports when you can do everything you need with one.

          I want a simple way to not use extra batteries, to have headphones that don't need to be recharged, ever. I don't want extra dongles to make this happen.

          If you can do that without a headphone jack, I'm all for it.

            See the part that doesn't work well there 🙂

              What's the point of having to connect one of the most used plugs (headphone) to another adapter cable, then to the device? Ass-f[moderated]ing-backwards. I guess they will make millions selling those stupid adapter cables to idiots.

                New watch looks nice I didn't pay that close of attention to that. New Phones are 7 and 7+

                Is the much ado about no headphone jack true?

                Does it matter honestly?

                Why wouldn't people use a bluetooth headset?

                Yeah, but what about all the hobby businesses that only process credit cards with the mobile payment things that plug into a headphone jack? They're all going to be forced to pay fees to Apple now instead of the super cheap ones in place today.

                Why wouldn't Square design a unit that can connect over BlueTooth?

                  If the one port doesn't need an adapter to add the second port back in, then great. But my understanding is that two ports are still needed, but even worse than building it in, you have to carry the second port around separately. Total fail if that's the case.

                      I completely disagree on the loss of functionality. It is called moving forward. The fact that they are including both a Lightning to analog converter as well as the lightning earpods themselves is amazing.

                        They'll be forced to Android.

                        Good. Bring all of them our way 🙂 There are Nexus's waiting for everyone

                          Security? Cost? Batteries. I think people really overlook the charing problems for devices.

                              The earpods connect over Lightning? I thought that they were wireless.

                              I'm unhappy that Apple blocks my browser so that I can't watch the event.

                                    Funny enough, someone that I know was talking about engineering a new product that relied on the headphone jack less than a week ago! LOL

                                      They do. The Magstrip reader is free with an account. It's their entry level/new customer bonus. The NFC model you have to pay for on top of it.

                                        No headphone jack makes it even shittier than the rest of Crapple's products.

                                        That's a pretty significant loss of functionality. I get that they want to seal it for water proofing, but.... ugh.

                                        I completely disagree on the loss of functionality. It is called moving forward. The fact that they are including both a Lightning to analog converter as well as the lightning earpods themselves is amazing.

                                        The earpods connect over Lightning? I thought that they were wireless.

                                        I'm unhappy that Apple blocks my browser so that I can't watch the event.

                                        There are the standard headphones with the lightning jack along with the lightning to headphone jack adaptor in the box. The AirPods are more $$

                                          Earpods are wired and always have been.

                                          Airpods are wireless. They look interesting. I will want to test the audio quality before I buy. but i hate my plantronics bluetooth now.

                                            New watch looks nice I didn't pay that close of attention to that. New Phones are 7 and 7+

                                            Is the much ado about no headphone jack true?

                                            Does it matter honestly?

                                            Why wouldn't people use a bluetooth headset?

                                            Yeah, but what about all the hobby businesses that only process credit cards with the mobile payment things that plug into a headphone jack? They're all going to be forced to pay fees to Apple now instead of the super cheap ones in place today.

                                            Why wouldn't Square design a unit that can connect over BlueTooth?

                                            I think they do.

                                            Square switched a while ago to a new unit in order to get the ApplePay/AndroidPay crowd. They do not promote the use of the analog jack anymore.

                                            OH that's good. So only legacy devices affected.

                                            Ya it happened with the card chip change. They would cover your costs if someone's info was stolen from swiping until they shipped it to you.
