To add...this sounds kind of ridiculous as far as rumors go.

This^

But I still don't think the audio jack will be going anywhere anytime soon.

I hope it does.

This is ridiculous. I don't think Apple is going to remove it especially when they bought "Beats" a while ago.

I doubt it but have to say I only use mine to plug in my helicopter infrared controller

makes little sense to buy a company whos profits are largely dependent on devices that use an audio jack in ALL kinds of devices that Apple has no control over, only to get rid of it and destroy that market. You don't buy very a profitable company to purposefully make it not profitable. Regardless I think it's unlikely. Not to mention every single iphone 6 leak video or photo i've seen has a headphone jack, and yes i believe those images are true. I don't think Apple can remotely control leaks anymore. Prior phones, and os details have leaked and often the most common leak was true.

I hope it does.

You don't want a headphone jack?

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

You don't want a headphone jack?

Yeah. So people don't ask ridiculous questions.

 

[Flow39]

Yeah. So people don't ask ridiculous questions.

Haha

Lol shoots the Beats acquisition to the ground if you ask me...

 

[Highrisedrifter]

I hope they replace it with an RS232 interface.

 

[Flow39]

LOL.

I wonder how many people know what that is without looking it up?

I had to look it up haha That would be a great alternative to a standard 3.5mm jack

Most Beats Headphones have a regular headphone interface... Makes no sense to not support your own company's devices...
