Why Apple Removed Headphone Jack from iPhone 7 and 7 Plus ?

Apple is being mocked by a lot of smartphone manufacturers and android users because of the recent launch of iPhone 7 and 7 Plus having no headphone jack and instead we have to use new Lightning EarPods, They are the same EarPods as before but they have a slight change instead of 3.5mm headphone jack they have put in Lightning connector slot.

Smartphone manufactures like One Plus and Huawei have been posting mocking images indirectly targeting Apple’s decision of removing headphone jack.

Everything has its pros and cons and same is the case with the decision of Apple removing headphone jack, People are only seeing negative side of this change but not the positive although it has cons like we cannot charge and listen to music simultaneously which is a very big flaw and Apple should give a way around to do the above mentioned stuff but people are not looking at the positive side those 3.5mm headphone jacks have been implemented from more than 100 years which is not less I guess considering today’s average tech gadget life span.

Now coming to the main point

Benefits of Removal of 3.55mm Headphone Jack

We are seeing improvements and new discoveries in the field of technology rapidly and I really mean it and if we look at the audio game everybody is looking for premium quality sound experience people are buying headphones worth thousands and hundreds of dollars to listen good quality sound but we can’t get that quality just by buying those headphones spending that much on a headphone and still not getting the quality that is where we are lacking Apple is I guess the first to get rid of headphone jack and I can guarantee you, you can mark my words here that those smartphone companies which are mocking will implement the same in the coming years now you might be thinking for what is this whole paragraph give us the reason, so the reason is people are looking for both style and quality so for that  they have removed the headphone jack to get rid of the space that a headphone jack takes which will result in making smartphones more thinner also the getting rid of headphone jack will lead to higher quality audio, manufactures will implement DAC’s and Amplifiers like setup in smartphones just like we do in cars and PC setups to get higher quality with the use of other connectors like lightning connectors like Apple did, Headphone manufactures will design higher end earphones headphones to give more premium experience. People are not getting that point obviously somebody has to be the first for a change and as I wrote above other companies will also implement in the near future it is not about supporting Apple it is about moving forward and I would suggest companies to take this initiative for further explanation a small example that came in my mind I would like to explain is that people used Edge on their phones for internet years back later the technology got advanced 3G came 4G LTE came etc.

I hope you understood my point.
