New USB-C Spec Could Spell the End of Headphone Jacks
Apple isn't the special case who needs to state goodbye to the 3.5mm earphone jack.
The USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) a week ago declared new specs that prepare for sound to be transmitted by means of USB-C ports.
"Gadget producers can take out the requirement for different ports and effectively convey information, power and video over a solitary connector with USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery," the USB-IF said in an announcement. "To further bolster a solitary link arrangement, USB Audio over USB Type-C gives an institutionalized way to deal with convey convincing client benefits, gadget interoperability and convenience over all advanced sound
For over 100 years, the 3.5mm earphone jack has been the favored route for clients to associate a headset and listen to music and other sound on a gadget. Billions of items around the globe interface with gadgets through the universal port. With the iPhone 7 lineup, be that as it may, Apple jettisoned the earphone jack for its Lightning connector (imagined) to spare space.
While various significant Android telephone creators have grasped USB-C for charging, they have yet to dispose of the 3.5mm port (Samsung even reprimanded Apple for doing it when uncovering its beset Note 7). The USB-IF, be that as it may, might move the move along. The gathering says expelling the earphone jacks can lessen item sizes by a millimeter and "open the entryway for development in endless ways and make it simpler to configuration waterproof or water-safe gadgets."
"USB is the easiest and most inescapable connector accessible today, making USB Type-C the legitimate decision for the eventual fate of advanced sound," Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF President and COO, said in an announcement. "We empower organizations intrigued by receiving USB details to exploit USB-IF assets to diminish time-to-market and convey solid USB items."
