New iPhone SE Could Launch In May With Touch ID and A10 Fusion, Without 3.5mm Headphone Jack (macrumors.com)
Mac Rumors reports, citing Japanese website Mac Otakara, that Apple will release an updated iPhone SE next month with a similar form factor as the previous model. It is expected to retain Touch ID, but will drop the 3.5mm headphone jack. From the report: Also like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the new iPhone SE will supposedly be powered by Apple's last-generation A10 Fusion chip, up to 40 percent faster than the A9 processor in the current iPhone SE. The chip will likely enable support for the HEIF image format and HEVC video compression standard. The report speculates that the new iPhone SE may have a glass back with wireless charging capabilities, like the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X, but evidence is said to be inconclusive at this time.
Having to know where all your dongles are at all times just so you can do what you want to do without running around frantically for 1/2 hour first is quite a large burden. Remembering to plug in 10 tiny devices every night is a burden. Apple creates this situation, yet somehow get away with labeling themselves as easy to use. I want to own my devices, not for them to own me.
Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.
That your nightstand is a charging station has nothing to do with Apple. Every iOS device Apple has released in the last 5+ years has used the same lightning connector.
Oh so we're supposed to be a good little iFamily and but only iProducts with the iLighting connector? Screw off, the best choice isn't always an Apple product. They are the standalone that doesn't work like everything else; don't try to make the claim otherwise. Besides, every Apple product doesn't have a lightning port. The iPhone 6 I use as an MP3 player has a lightning port, but my clock radio and bookshelf stereo has a 30-pin and my Macbook has USB-C. I mean really, it's enough to make your head spin. I can only take so much of the little capitalistic game that Apple plays.
