The subject of thepossible
abandonment of the headphone jackon the next iPhone comes back regularly
in the form of rumors. Nothing is certain at this stage and nothing will be certain before
months, when the spare parts will eventually be photographed
first of all but especially when Apple will unveil the machine in September
Normally.
This uncertainty did not prevent worry, on the contrary! For
try to possibly influence Apple's choice, hold on tight, a
electronic petition has been launched, it is already collecting a number
impressive number of signatures!
Hosted on the US site "SumOfUS", the petition has already
collected 217,000 signatures.
Taking up recent rumors notably from Forbes and
FastCompany, the petition indicates that it wants to mobilize acampaign
internationale "massive"in order to change Apple's mind. THE
reasons given concern theexpense involvedby this
abandonment to equip yourself with another listening solution (Bluetooth headphones, headphones
Lightning) but also the ecological aspect linked to the disposal of helmets
traditional.
The rest of the petition takes the example oftransition to socket
Lightningwhich led to the abandonment of cables and chargers
specific, indicating that these products are in reality never
recycled.
So we can doubt theimpact of such an initiative on
Apple's choice, but it will be interesting to see what mobilization
it can succeed in generating obsolescence on a subject that divides
necessarily. Knowing that in the end, another way of "petitioning" could
be to change smartphone brand.
An opinion… on the petition and on this possible change
?
