Apple themselves admit the move has taken "courage", and insist the new approach saves vital space inside the phone, as well as making devices more water- and dust-resistant. AirPods also double as microphones and can be used to control the iPhone with just your voice.
So, could this mark the demise of one of the longest-standing technologies? The simple 3.5mm headphone jack was first used in transistor radios as far back as the 1950s, and earlier versions go even further to the telephone switchboards of the late 1800s.
Regardless, with a falling share price and strong, innovative competition, Apple needed to do something bold. Time will tell if their headphone strategy will help cut through the noise.
