Oh they already are. "Hey, look at all the other 'ubiquitous standards' that are obsolete and gone". It's almost like they're looking forward to spending probably $35 on a stupid adapter.

@boomzilla The thing is and lets face it. Everyone and their wife is copying apple.
I bought a iPhone 6 fairly recently because I knew what the fuck I was getting hold of. It was a well known product. It had no obvious faults and it worked as advertised.
I used to by Motorola because they did phones that run almost Vanilla Android and the phones were very good, but again they were expensive and not quite an iPhone ... and I broke one ... where do I get that repaired out of warranty ... it turns out it is £150 from some dodge shop in Manchester.
This is why I bought an iPhone. The Apple Shop is down the road.

voice accelerometers detect source of your voice
WTH does that even mean?
I'd assume multiple microphones detecting the delays in reception? Possibly combined with Doppler effect measurement? And maybe volume?
That's all I got, though I doubt any of it can be precise enough to actually work well considering the distances (of both the mics and the speaker) involved...

Fun Fact:

With VC meaning Volkscomputer.

I'm buttuming they figured people kinda-sorta know what accelerometers do in their phones so they tried to use the term to make it more "understandable". Because yeah, other than that I have no clue what they're banging on about.

I'm not 100% sure on the timing, but I seem to recall that the last time Apple changed connectors on everyone and left their existing ecosystem out in the cold was right around the time when they started hemorrhaging market share as people began to migrate en masse to Android.
Hopefully this will finish the job, leaving no one but the most hardcore of iDiots on their ridiculous, abusive platform.

But that's OK because the Apple store is just down the road. And it only costs $300 to fix!
Or something like that.

@izzion Sure, who cares about the billions of sets of headphones/headsets that are already out there, right? Let's make everyone buy a new device, that's certain to be more expensive, and has to be charged periodically.

I'll bet there was a Dilbert strip from 5+ years ago with PHB proposing something like this.

And don't forget how good it is for the environment.
Apple cares a lot about the environment.

OceanView, from Apple, the company that brought you the AirPort and iPhone.
Think different.

I have a feeling it's gonna be fun. :D

Unless you're talking about a Samsung device, cause Samsung can't make software worth shit.

I still think it's a terrible investment - you're paying significantly more for a marginally higher level of service and a walled garden environment which supports hipster bullshit but I mean, whatever floats your root beer bro...
