This iPhone 7 rumor says Apple will “force” you to buy overpriced headphones
With the iPhone 7, Apple is planning to strong-arm you into paying more for headphones. According to the latest rumors, Cupertino will remove the standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, forcing you to connect your cans via Lightning.
And of course that means you'll have to buy new headphones. Which means additional MFi licensing and certification fees for 3rd-party headphone makers. Or you could just buy a Apple DtoA adaptor, which will probably cost you an extra $100. Hey, why not buy two? Drip drip drip...
Seriously? Doesn’t Apple exert enough Soviet-like control over its ecosystem? Isn’t the ridiculous profit margin on an iPhone already enough?
