Soon: Apple introduces narrow-beam-tubular-copper-audio-point-to-point-transfer-apparatus which increases bandwidth and removes the need for additional batteries or chargers.

This time it's 3.1mm (slim connector).

This is genius, and all of you HN nerds trying to laugh at this post are fools. Apple is onto something here: they could completely eliminate the annoyance of Bluetooth by creating a physical analog that you can patch into other devices at will. If they're able to figure out how to route power deliver and high definition audio through the same cable, they'll be lightyears ahead of the market.

2.5mm is already pretty common in the audio industry, so the size of the connector shouldn't be an issue.
