Massive petition begs Apple to keep headphone jack

You've probably heard about it by now - the latest rumours are suggesting that Apple could get rid of the standard 3.5mm headphone jack in the upcoming iPhone 7.

Massive petition begs Apple to keep headphone jack

There are a whole bunch of reasons why this might happen but one major one is that using the slimmer lightning port would allow the company to make an iPhone that's even more svelte than before. That's a selling point which the company has used before, and smaller phones are considered more desireable than users.

Of course there hasn't been any official word from Apple on the matter yet, but that hasn't stopped the public outcry against the move already. A huge online petition has popped up which is calling for Apple to keep their original design, and it already has over 300,000 signatures.
