Blog #16 - Goodbye Headphone Jack?

Goodbye Headphone Jack?

Since the pre-release of the iPhone6 rumors have circulated that apple has been planning to remove the 3.5mm headphone jack and use a proprietary lightning headphone jack headphone. However, recently USB 3.0 has come in as a competitor to the lightning port and the company LeEco, a Chinese branded smartphone has beat Apple to the punch with their LeEco Le2 which will only feature a single port, a USB 3.0 port which will have similar do-all functionalities that intel has.

               With a single port for all your connections, some may love the simplicity and elegant design
 but others may stay away from the phone just for that reason. How will you charge your phone while listening to music and what real benefits do users get for removing the 3.5mm headphone jack? These are the real problems the 1-port design has to overcome before it becomes accepted by the public.
