During Apple's iPhone 7 introduction, Apple executive Phil Schiller said that Apple's decision to remove the tried and true 3.5mm headphone jack could be summed up in one word: courage. "Now some people have asked why we would remove the analog headphone jack from the iPhone," Schiller said. "I mean, it's been with us a really long time... Well the reason to move on, I’m going to give you three of them, but it really comes down to one word: courage. The courage to move on, do something new, that betters all of us. And our team has tremendous courage." Of course, Schiller's remarks quickly became prime comedic fodder for folks on Twitter and Facebook who couldn't help but laugh at what they viewed as a complete misuse of the word.
