Half of all Apple Lovers Ready to Reject Jackless iPhone

The new iPhone 7 was launched today and does not feature a headphone jack. OnePulse, the UK’s opinion polling app, today revealed that almost half (47%) of all iPhone lovers are ready to end their love affair with Apple due to the iPhone 7 lacking a headphone jack.

The poll, which was conducted in anticipation of Apple’s iPhone 7 launch, also revealed that consumers are becoming less excited about the new iPhone launches, with just one in four iPhone fans planning to tune in to the launch announcement (25%). And one in five of those who have become disenchanted by the rumours of no headphone jack refuse to watch the launch (21%).

When asked what features Apple fans do want to see, they said:

  1. Improved battery life
  2. Water resistance
  3. Better camera
  4. Higher definition screen
  5. Better speaker quality
  6. Slimmer design
  7. More colour options
  8. Larger screen

One Apple fan shared his concerns about the lack of a headphone jack: “I own a pair of very expensive headphones that will outlive several generations of mobile phones. I don’t want to relegate them for something inferior, so I will have no option but to change handset.”

Nick Walter, OnePulse Chief Marketing Officer, added “70 percent of our pulsers are iPhone users, so it’s always interesting to drill down into the behaviour of iPhone users versus Android.

“We know that some Apple users spend more on accessories, than Android users, which would explain the frustration around the lack of a headphone jack.

“The fact that the headphone market is growing exponentially, with 85 million pairs expected to be bought in 2016 across Europe – a 10 percent increase on 2015*, that’s a lot of redundant headphones!”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
