So, likely no headphone port on the iphone 7, what do you think? (aka are you a sheep)

So, I just read a recent article which seems to support that the next iphone won’t have a headphone socket, and I went into the comments, and holy crap the number of people supporting this move is freaking ridiculous, talking about how it is “old” and “outdated” tech, and how it’s a good move, I mean what the heck.

3.5mm jacks are far from “outdated”, they are very much prevalent on many, many, many, many consumer electronics. I just don’t see how even some of the most insane apple fanboys can see this as a good move, but apparently they can.

Personally my next phone will have absolutely 0 proprietary connectors on it. Sticking your headphones, something which are liable to be yanked and tugged on, into the thin little port which is the only method of connecting your phone to a computer seems like a bad move to me.
