CTO ... iPhone dumping the headphone jack

Meanwhile, in the tech world ...

Check This Out ... There will be no head phone jack in the new iPhone! Will this significantly affect the way we use our phones? Our music apps? No matter what, it's bound to affect our pocket books. Your choice: Spend extra cash for a special adaptor to allow use of existing headsets OR spend $159 on Apple's new bluetooth, wireless, headphones, a.k.a AirPods. Better plan where you'll store those tiny ear buds if you want to prevent losing them when not using them!
