did you get an official word on the headphone jack?

I heard they were considering changing it to a unique one that can only be used with their Beats headphones. This REALLY lost alot of my respect for Apple. Such a complete disrespect for their customer's freedom of choice to listen to their music with whatever headphones they choose.

might be a "smart strategic business plan" - but an outright spit in the face of their customers who may be audiophiles.

I never once considered switching from Apple - UNTIL that announcement.

I really hope they changed their mind on that position. But if I can't use headphones of MY choice with their product anymore, I'm going Samsung with my next phone... :-/
