iPhone's recessed rationale
In a previous post I vented about iPhone's recessed headphone jack in the iPhone and mentioned that "I haven’t heard a single rational explanation as to why Apple would do this."A source with contacts at Apple sent me this explanation:Apple found, prior to the iPhone, that a lot of service repairs for iPods were for busted headphone jacks caused by headphone plugs being constrained, pulled, or bent in pockets or other tight areas.
