Leaked information from Apple’s Twitter account about the iPhone 7 indicates that they will be doing away with the headphone jack, rendering the 3.5 mm headphones as useful as a Hanson Brother’s cassette tape. Will their brand loyalty take a hit? Short answer: no. No it won’t.
I know this because I was around 10 years ago when Facebook rolled out the News Feed and everyone bitched and moaned about the invasive lack of privacy. Fast forward a decade and those same people are posting pictures of their buttholes as their status.
So we can expect droves of mindless lemmings camping outside their closest Apple Store on September 16 to get their hands on the newest masturbation device, even if it has the ISIS logo etched into the back. Just like the last iPhone and the one before that.
WITH THAT SAID, it is highly entertaining to follow Twitter as it slowly melts down about the injustice as children continue to starve in Africa. Check out some of the most entertaining tweets below.
Apple didn’t do itself any favors when giving its reason for ridding the iPhone7 of the headphone jack: “It comes down to one word: Courage.”
The upside in all this is that the iPhone 7 will be water resistant to combat all those headphone jack tears.
