Apple ditching the headphone jack

Thats gonna piss off a lot apple fanboys.
According to the report's "reliable source," Apple will be replacing the included Earpods with those that plug in through the device's Lightning port. Users could also use Bluetooth wireless headphones, which have become increasingly more popular over the years. Those with older headphones will likely still be able to use them, though they would likely need an adapter that plugs into the Lightning port.

The early adopters will take whatever Apple shovels at them.
The rest of the iphone users will have the option of cheap knockoff headphones being available by the time they get around to "upgrading" to the next iphone.
Purists and poseurs will have adapters.
It's kindof a dick move, but it won't hurt Apple. Probably.
