When Microsoft decided to remove the old fashioned start menu back in 2012 on the Windows 8 operating system, one of the reasons was supposedly that "nobody used the start menu anyway." Therefore, it was logical to remove it to make the operating system "more modern." The result, as everyone knows, was catastrophic, and led to the old start menu being reintroduced in Windows 10.
The traditional headphone jack was probably removed from the iPhone 7 for similar reasons. Supposedly, everyone is already using Bluetooth headphones, right? Well, now iPhone 7 users will either have to buy the new EarPods, or an adapter to the lightning port, neither of which are cheap.
“Now, some people have asked why we would remove the analog headphone jack from the iPhone,” Schiller began. “It really comes down to one word: courage. The courage to move on, do something new, that betters all of us. And our team has tremendous courage.” Quote from: http://ift.tt/2ctPnlN
This is why I think we might be seeing Apple going down a similar road as Microsoft...
