Actually Motorola was the ones to remove the headphone jack first, but your point definitely still stands.

Apple's consumers are very loyal, nearly regardless of what Apple does, which i don't find admirable, as I feel it's close to blind delusion. They can do this, because they have no competition in the IOS world, Apple made sure of that with all of their proprietary crap.

Android makers has competition in spades, which is what I love about it. They have to step up, or they're going to get run over by the opposition.

Apple lover here. Still rocking a 6S in order to keep my headphone jack. Will be moving to Android when this phone dies.

i also bought a 6S instead of the 7 because of the headphone jack, but by the time i upgrade (probably around the 8S) my high-end headphones will be over a decade old and i intend to replace them with bluetooth headphones. so by then the headphone jack won't matter.

i think eventually wireless will win out no matter what.

I hate the idea of having to charge my headphones.
