Why the 3.5mm headphone connector is cancelled when the iPhone has no headphone connector
4hw.com.cn: since Apple canceled the 3.5mm headphone hole in the iPhone 7 series, many manufacturers have followed up slowly. It is controversial to "kill" the 3.5mm headphone hole. So far, more and more manufacturers have cancelled the 3.5mm headphone interface on their own products, which makes many users miserable. Now, why are all competing to cancel the 3.5mm headphone connector? Xiaobian takes you to analyze.
Reasons for canceling the 3.5mm headphone connector
The first is to save space. After the 3.5mm headphone connector is cancelled, the spare space in the phone can contain more components. For example, after the headphone connector is cancelled, the iPhone 7 is equipped with a taptic engine vibration motor, which brings better vibration effect.
Secondly, the integration is better. After the headphone interface is canceled, the external interface of the mobile phone is further reduced, which provides better protection for many products that want to be waterproof. For example, the first iPhone 7, after canceling the headphone interface, supports IP67 level waterproof function. For daily use, the improvement is huge. Canceling the 3.5mm headphone interface is still more objectionable than acceptable for most consumers at present. There are tens of millions of reasons, but it comes down to several points. To cancel the 3.5mm headphone interface, it's obvious that you can't use wired headphones to listen to songs while charging the phone at the same time, unless the phone supports wireless charging.
In fact, there are two main reasons why major manufacturers want to cancel the 3.5mm headphone interface. First of all, from the perspective of the internal structure design of the mobile phone, cancelling the 3.5mm headphone interface and related audio modules will make more space for other components, such as the battery capacity can be made larger, or the space occupied by the pressure sensitive touch screen can be offset.
The other consideration is to improve the audio output quality and ease of use of mobile devices, especially in today's wireless transmission technology, mobile phone manufacturers are more willing to promote the wireless audio devices, and for users, if you exclude the concerns of endurance, wireless headphones should be more convenient.
