The Headphone Jack Must DIE!

Image result for headphone jack


We've all been fond of the things we get used to, we fall into routines, we expect somethings out of life. When those routines are broken it takes us a while to adapt. This is particularly true about the headphone jack. To see the damage casued by the headphone jack we need to go back way back

History Lesson: Floppies

Floppies were revolutionary , for their time they were the most cutting edge technology available. people could now transfer data more easily than ever before. Just plug it in and you're done! In 1980 this was as seamless as it got, You're looking at the snapchat, iCloud and iMessage of the 20th century.
And then Apple comes along and kills the floppy drive if the internet was as prevalent as it is today then, I'm sure the internet would have been inundated with posts about how "Removing the Floppy drive is a horrible choice" but in retrospect we see how futile it would have been to stick with floppies.

History Lesson : MacBook Air

Fast forward a few decades Apple strikes again! This time the beloved CD drive gets axed. At the time the Internet was in uproar unlike the last time.People were flabbergasted How could they remove the CD drive! Again fast forward a few years and laptops and computers without a CD drive is commonplace.( When was the last time you used a CD?). Turns out there was a better way and we just didn't see it at the time.

Back To The Headphone Jack

I'm sure you've started to see a trend here people get really pissed when something is removed but they get over it really easily. Don't believe me? Just look at the reactions of the iPhone & and the Google Pixel 2. People Just didn't care about the headphone jack a year later after the iPhone 7.

But Bluetooth Isn't Good Enough

The only way a technology becomes "good" is if theres enough demand for it. If companies see that there is a large enough market for bluetooth headphones they're going to invest heavily to make better bluetooth headphones. Look at how many amazing wireless headphones have dropped since phones started ditching the headphone jack. Apple has created more demand for bluetooth headphones and thus they've moved the industry along.

In 10 years no ones going to care about the headphone jack. It'll be one of those technologies that was widely used and then fell out of favor.

So let me know what you think in the comments below.

What Is KaiOS? The Android Competitor You've Never Heard Of

When you think of the smartphone OS wars, we have two warring factions, Android and iOS. For about 5 years this was the way it's been. But in the distant past there were three smartphone Operating Systems. Android, iOS and Windows. The three way battle for OS supremacy raged on and before long the triopoly became a duopoly. With Windows phone being more or less dead the two major Operating systems only had each other to worry about for the longest time. Now the incumbents have a new kid on the block to worry about , KaiOS. But wait if KaiOS is so great how come no ones ever heard of it before? But First Some Background KaiOS is built on the ashes of the Firefox OS , For phones that aren't necessarily smart. You remember those old phones that you used to rock back in 2009? Yeah phones like those. The aim of KaiOS is to bring down the features of a smartphone down to a feature phone. So for that very same reason KaiOS is a fully functional modern OS with options for WiFi

When Will Apple Remove The Charging Port?

               Apple's all about that wireless technology and its no secret that Apple eventually wants a port-less iPhone. With the death of the headphone jack , Apple has obviously trained its guns on the lightning port. Surely even Apple isn't courageous enough to remove something as basic as the charging port. Right? If this is the first time you've heard about this you might be feeling a sense of dread. Don't worry thats normal. Yes all those memes that said that the next iPhone might not have a charging port were true. The lightning port's days are numbered. Why This Obsession With Wireless? Apple believes that wireless is the future ( And it is ) and all their design choices and decisions as a company over the past few years have been to wean us off cables and physical media. Starting with the removal of the CD drive, then with the headphone jack, then with very few ports on the MacBook. Yeah Apple has been hinting at us to switch to wireless for qui

iPhone XR: The Display Is Fine!

Its September and like every year like clockwork Apple has come out with new iPhones and would it be an iPhone launch without some controversy. The iPhone X had the notch and the iPhone 7 didn't have a headphone jack . In true Apple fashion this year's iPhones have stirred up controversy, Well one of them. Apple released the iPhone XS , the XS Max and the iPhone XR. With the two S models being the premium pricey phones that we've come to expect. The real wild card was the iPhone XR but in my personal opinion it is the best possible phone that we could have expected. Why I'm Okay With The Display Most in the tech industry upon knowing about the pixel density of the iPhone XR instantly compared it to the iPhone 4 from 2010. Yes on paper they both have the exact same specs. But paper rarely tells the whole story. While the pixels per inch have stayed the same the underlying technology behind the displays themselves have changed a lot. Starting with the backlights th
