Opinion: Apple’s Back to School 2016 promotion is latest signal for future without headphone jack

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/rose-gold-macbook-and-beats.jpg?w=1600&h=900)</div><p class="p1">Earlier today Apple announced (http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/02/apple-launches-2016-back-to-school-deal-free-beats-headphones-with-mac-iphone-or-ipad-pro-purchase/) the start of their annual Back to School promotion for 2016. This year eligible purchases of a Mac, iPad, or iPhone will come bundled with a pair of wireless Beats headphones. This is reminiscent of <span class="s2">last year’s Back to School promotion</span> (http://bit.ly/1UiyhDQ), save for the fact that during this year’s promotion for the wireless headphone is the default and doesn’t require an extra $100 expense. The small, but obvious connectivity choice signals a new direction in which Apple wants its customer to think.</p>
