Was recently thinking that Apple may pull a Coke, and bring back the 3.5mm for a number of reasons.

Except that they are making money on overpriced headsets and acquisitions like Beatz.

I guess they have always compromised on privacy to make more $$, whether it is the crummy protections for browsing on iOS, selling out to Google, or the nearly required bluetooth. Now, I am sure there are a lot more things to add to this list..

Two Final thoughts:

From a business perspective this is a serious impairment on Goodwill.

Loss of Privacy is going to negatively impact Apple services.
