I think I'm going to use some "courage" and switch to Android when I upgrade my iPhone 6s next.

&gt; Apple ~~officially~~ courageously scraps headphone jack<p>They are very brave.<p>I don&#x27;t like this. Maybe I should treat it like ripping off a bandaid and just switch and be done with it.<p>Until you know, they scrap lightning in a few years. Then I can get another dongle or new headphones or whatever.

The telling thing for me was Phil had to defend the idea with three different arguments, along with an inflammatory photo of a switchboard. When Steve Jobs deleted the floppy drive, he simply declared that floppies had no future.

They actually did it. Those crazy bastards actually did it.

Couldn&#x27;t care less. Have a Sony that is full waterproof and works well with normal headphones.<p>Good luck with that wireless and constant charging thing..
