re: Rumor: Apple to abandon headphone jack

I doubt we will see them getting rid of the headphone jack for some time to come. The guy that wrote this article even says this in the comments of the article. Until it actually happens, just add this to the rumor pile.
I am sure if this happens and the manufacturers jump to make a new standard to replace 3.5mm, the reactions in here will be much different.

i can see the need to get rid of 3.5mm jack, it has its limits.
But we need a standard for this, not apple dictating it. So you can have one device that works in different places.

You've been able to get knock offs of the old Apple USB cable for > $5 at Amazon for years now. As long as they plan to hold onto lighting for at least a decade, price shouldn't be that big of an issue in the long run. I think the bigger problem is you are removing an input port from the device. Sure you can have a pass through, but those are often bulky and less secure than a native port.
