Apple\u2019s vertical integration, passionate userbase, and scale (both historically small and now immensely huge) allow it to push big changes in a way that few other companies can pull off. The floppy, SCSI, optical drives, VGA \u2014 all killed by Apple years before vanishing from the rest of the industry.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Excellent number crunching. I still think the headphone jack is not the same as SCSI or VGA. While a standards body may have invented the headphone jack 70 years ago, that body is long gone. Most standards that define things like USB, FireWire, SCSI, HDMI and Floppy Drives have a vested interest in keeping those technologies alive or bringing vendors to the new standard when they\u2019re ready with one (USB-C for example). The headphone jack is everywhere and if you buy the most expensive audio doohickey in the world today, it will come with a headphone jack down to the cheapest pair of 99 cent headphones. It\u2019s a standard that is not going away even if Apple chooses to abandon it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via The Verge: One of the most strongly-held arguments about Apple removing the headphone jack is that Apple&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-08-30T23:17:04Z","apple_news_api_id":"6c33b634-c11e-441d-bead-502fe37239e8","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-08-30T23:17:04Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AbDO2NMEeRB2-rVAv43I56A","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1A5","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5323,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/01\/17\/linked-its-true-apple-will-drop-headphone-jack-to-make-the-iphone-7-slimmer-says-source\/","url_meta":{"origin":6081,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;It&#8217;s True: Apple Will Drop Headphone Jack To Make The iPhone 7 Slimmer, Says Source&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"January 17, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"via Fast Company: (Let\u2019s ignore the fact this article says \u201cIt\u2019s True\u201d followed by \u201cSays Source\u201d A source tells you something is true and you write it\u2019s true.
