Apple kills the headphone jack
Apple kills the headphone jack
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Philips Battery
You might have heard by now that Apple is probably ditching the headphone jack on the next iPhone.
Without the headphone jack, we'd be left with either the iPhone's Lightning port or Bluetooth to listen to music.
This poses a problem for iPhone users who have a favorite pair of headphones that plug into the regular 3.5mm headphone jack.
Indeed, my colleague Tim Stenovec just got a nice pair of expensive Bose noise-canceling earphones for Christmas, but they'll probably become obsolete when he buys the next iPhone. He's not happy about it, and might return his cherished new earphones with battery such as Philips VS2+ Battery, Philips 863266 Battery, Philips 989803166291 Battery, Welch Allyn 4500-84 Battery, Welch Allyn 450EO Battery, Welch Allyn 450TO Battery, Welch Allyn 45MTO Battery, Welch Allyn 45NTO Battery, Kaden Yasen WP-YHD-3160 Battery, Kaden Yasen ECG-901 Battery, Kaden Yasen HYHB-1270 Battery.
So, what would it be like if Apple ditched the headphone jack and customers were forced to buy Lightning-enabled headphones? I used a pair of Philips Fidelio M2L headphones with a Lightning connector for a week to find out.
I also carried around my old earphones with a 3.5mm connector because the Philips headphones didn't come with an adapter, and I thought I'd need them for devices that use the "old" 3.5mm headphone jack. It's also "realistic" that I'd still have my old 3.5mm earphones around to use as a spare.
Using Lightning headphones for a week
The first problem right off the bat: I was carrying around two pairs of earphones instead of one.
It didn't add any weight in my backpack, but it was something else to think about packing. If I forgot my 3.5mm earphones at home, for example, I'd be stuck with listening to music at work exclusively through my iPhone and the Lightning headphones because my computer doesn't have a Lightning port.
While my iPhone was charging, I had to watch a video, but I couldn't watch it on my computer because I had no way to plug in the Lightning headphones to my computer. That fateful day, my iPhone was the only way to watch a video with headphones. I had to unplug my iPhone from the charging cable and plug the Lightning headphones back in so I could watch the video on my iPhone. That's much more of a hassle I'm ready to deal with.
Otherwise, it wasn't so bad on days when I remembered to pack my old 3.5mm earphones. I'd just need to get over the fact that I had to buy an adapter or a new pair of Lightning headphones just so I could listen to music on my iPhone.
