Apple has garnered a trendsetting image that is visible from the introduction of fingerprint scanners, full-screen displays, face recognition systems, and lack of headphone jack.
It waits for other manufacturers to bring in technology and refine it.
There is nothing wrong with it but that goes on to show that Apple is scared of trying new things with their devices.
It was rumored that this was Apple’s tactic to earn more money by selling propriety earphones whereas others argued that it was necessary to make the phone water-resistant.
We saw some competitors launch phones at that time which kept the headphone jack and were water-resistant at the same time.
Apple brand has become a symbol of luxury at this point and a large majority of the price customers pay is for that Apple logo.
