Apple Rumored To Be Dropping Headphone Jack On Devices

It’s now being rumored Apple will be getting rid of the 3.5 mm headphone jack which was pretty standard with all iPhones. Apple now wants to try and make their phone even slimmer because they have always aspired to make things as small as they can. The headphones will be able to plug into the Lighting port, or you could just use Bluetooth headphones if you have them.

Apple first switched over to the Lightening port when the iPhone 5 first came out and the iPod 5. So, would this be a good move for Apple?

It seems like Apple is doing this with all their new devices now. The new MacBook is very slim and only has two ports on it. While thinner can sometimes be better, this might make some people enraged who don’t like Apple headphones, and like being able to choose the ones that they want.

If you’re someone who doesn’t, this would mean that you wouldn’t be able to use non-Apple headphones anymore, unless some developers come out with new headphones. There are a few out there right now but the options are pretty limited.

Also, if you want to charge your phone, you won’t be able to listen to music at the same time. Which is a bummer, unless you have the Bluetooth headphones. While this might just be a rumor, it causes you to think that would be a smart move on Apple’s part.

We know that they love to make their devices as thin as possible, but maybe this is too thin?

It seems like something crazy not many companies would be willing to do since its pretty revolutionary. Many companies would worry about the people they might lose to this, but it seems like Apple doesn’t worry about this too much. I personally don’t think they need to make a slimmer phone, but they have gone in a whole new direction with all the products that they are making now, so it’s almost not that crazy to think that Apple would do something like this.

There has been speculations when the new iPhones come out, but most of these rumors haven’t come out to be very true. This makes you wonder whether or not they actually are.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
