  3. I realize that I am a year late on this, but audiophiles would revolt if Apple removed the Lightning port, because Bluetooth audio sucks. Yeah, you can get codecs that get lossless transmission (or near lossless, at least) but that still leaves the issues of random drops, connection issues, and so on. Never mind the fact that wireless headphones have a limited lifespan due to the batteries, making them pretty unappealing for any set that costs more than a few hundred dollars. Even Apple's own Airpods Pro are a hard sell, because they will be a $500 paperweight in 4-6 years. Unless Apple started handing out wireless dongles that used some kind of proprietary connection, they would be setting themselves up for painful backlash.

  4. This might actually be the worst take I’ve seen from Marquez in all honesty. We understand that you tech tubers prefer android, and that’s totally cool. The complaints are actually hilarious. No Touch ID? Face ID is perfectly okay. No headphone jack? I’d love to know what percentage of apple users don’t have Bluetooth in 2022. Before I had a 12 I thought MagSafe was a gimmick but it’s actually a super handy feature once you’ve bought into the ecosystem. Yeah, $40 for a MagSafe pop socket is heavy, but $40 for a charger that works extremely well isn’t wild.

  5. Eventually apple will get to the point where they say you are buying an iPhone 000 for 5 thousand dollars, but we have thrown everything out even the phone, you only get a chip in your head and a logo on your forehead.

  11. I think they are just doing out of spite for Europe forcing USB C. They are just being spiteful because they have to get rid of a proprietary part. Remember the iPhone 4S? Even that had a weird charging port. It was some sort of bizarre 30 pin connector. The thing is though, why did they need so darn many pins? It wouldn't surprise me if only 4 of them were used. It surprised me that it wasn't a big gaping hole in the bottom of the phone really!

  26. I can't see how they could get rid of the power button. You have to be able to turn it off. Even if they can build a buttonless phone I don't see it being allowed on planes, so I couldn't see it being able to be put on the market. Imagine being told that you have to leave your phone behind or you can't get on your flight.

  32. One of the things I love about iphone is that you can connect a class complaint USB audio interface and get low latency audio/midi support.. With no usb port and no 3.5mm audio jack we won't be able to get really low latency audio at all anymore 🙁

  40. he make a whole video about it but when the iPhone 13 actually comes out there is a lighting cable port🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝

  42. Apple takes cable, take headphone jack, will be taking buttons, and then eventually u will be paying for a invisible phone, and the i-sheep will still buy it

  43. “Next we removed the screen and allowed for a new advanced speaker system because you dont need to see anything ALSO you can buy the NEW external iPhone prodisplay HDR for 8,000$”

  47. I will not be surprised that apple will release a buttonless and holeless iPhone in the next ten years. Technology is not an issue. However, whether the customers will accept such a concept will be another story. I believe it is very likely that Apple may test such an idea on an entry-level iPhone, but only time can tell what will happen next.
