Intel pushes USB-C as 3.5mm jack replacement, touts better sound, thinness & power management
Easily my biggest issue. I listen to music with my iPhone plugged in all day at work. I'd prefer not to have to purchase one of Apple's exorbitantly priced dongles to do what I can already do. The Smart Connector would be a brilliant workaround -- but rumors seem to be pointing to the SC only being available on the iPhone 7 Plus, which sucks!Soli said:
Let's not forget the magnetic Smart Connector, or another method of charging, not to mention BT headphones when one is making the argument "you can't do 2 things at once" in reference to the device.venti21 said:"One problem with a single port on the device, be it USB or Lightening, is that you can't do 2 things at once -- say, charge your device and use wired headphones or transfer data."
.... this is not true. Apple in the past has circumvented this issue by creating a dongle that extends the singular input port into a power + port output. This was done on the 30-Pin for including HDMI output plus power and also for lightening to HDMI + lightening ( http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD826AM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=97 ). another example of this port expansion can be found in apple USB-C digital AV multiport adapter for the new Macbook.
