Apple kills iPhone headphone socket

It has been confirmed that Apple is going to force its beleaguered users to ditch their headphones in favour of more expensive wireless or Lightning sets.

The fruity cargo cult has decided that the only way to get its iPhone’s thinner is to ditch the headphone socket.

The confirmation does not come from Apple of course, but the outfit’s supply chain. But it backs up what we had already heard.

As far as Apple is concerned it means that users will have to scrap their old headphones when they buy the new iPhone. This means that they will also lose connectivity with shedloads of accessories like aux in to speakers, camera releases, headphones and flash units.
