Why does the 3.5mm phone headset hole be eliminated?

Early phone headset holes have two diameter standards: one 3.5mm and one 2.5mm. Later, the 3.5mm headphone jack became an international standard. As the phone becomes thinner and thinner, the 3.5mm headphone jack limits the thinning of the phone.

Due to the presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, the thickness of the phone is virtually impossible to make thinner. So many mobile phone manufacturers began to develop new ideas, we can not use 2.5mm headphone jack? Or simply cancel the headset hole? Who will take the lead in this matter? It is Apple Inc. and chooses to directly cancel the headset hole solution.

Apple has always been an innovator and trend leader in the industry. Apple first developed the new standard Thunderbolt (lightning cable), and later gave up the 30-pin Dock interface and switched to the smaller Lightning interface (lightning interface). This time something similar happened to the headset hole.

Of course, canceling the 3.5mm jack will also cause some problems, even some strange problems. To give a few examples, when you use headphones to listen to songs, there is no way to charge your phone at the same time unless you add wireless charging. When charging with the Lightning interface, you cannot listen to music with headphones unless you listen to the song with a Bluetooth headset.

However, these minor issues are also irrelevant. With the popularity of wireless charging technology. In the future everyone can choose to use wireless charging. So canceling the headset hole will eventually be accepted.

After all, with the development of smart phones, canceling the 3.5mm headphone jack in the future will be unavoidable for both Android and Apple phones.
