The 6S is like two years old now right? Is it still going to be supported for at least another couple years without being a bogged down piece of shit?

Why not just stick to Android and not have to decide between using outdated tech or tech that decided to take out user friendly features for the sake of bring "unique".

If it helps your decision, the new iPhones come with a 3.5mm adapter. It's just flimsy as fuck and you can't charge your phone at the same time unless you buy a 3rd party adapter with two connectors.

It was a sales ploy to force people into paying another $150 out of pocket for wireless headphones (because, naturally, a non-apple product wouldnt work). People outraged and they caved.

It's just Apple being Apple. There's no practical reason for getting rid of the headphone jack.

the last thing you want to rely on apple for is supporting hardware long term without bogging it down.

And yet companies like Samsung kept the jack and maintains its IP68 certification for water and dust. Even current iPhones without the jack are only IP67.

Did Apple give any other explanation

Or was it "buy these tiny easily lost $160 earphones"

Frankly, I think it was because of this meaningless pursuit of thinness. So, to take off maybe 1mm of thickness (which is eliminated as everyone uses a case) you lose a headphone jack and have a non-competitive IP standard. What have you won here?

Didn't they face a shitload of backlash? Why continue doing it in the 8 and X?

Pissed that Google did it to the P2. I figured with the two main competitors (Pixels and Galaxies) keeping the jack, Apple would have brought it back.

Apple does whatever they want regardless of what other companies do. They won't backtrack.

Removing the headphone jack is anti consumer and at least in Apple's case is solely meant to make their AirPods more necessary.

It rings especially hollow on the iPhone 7 and 8 generations since they have such huge bezels. I'd believe their argument that it's meant to help make the phone thinner, except the S8 and S9 have screen to bezel ratios even higher than the iPhone X but still have headphone jacks.
