Apple finally updated its benchmark Macbook Pro computers last week. It made them thinner, faster and added a rather gimmicky touch bar which replaces the venerable function keys at the top of the keyboard. Oh yes, and it ditched every legacy port on the laptop with the exception of the headphone jack.

After removing the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 this year there may have been some trepidation among the faithful that Apple would deep six the headphone jack. But that hasn’t happened. Yet.
