I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this problem, but I firmly believe Apple has been purposely nerfing their 3.5 mm ports since the 6 came out.

For whatever reason, I've had to go through 10+ pairs of earbuds on my Iphone 6 due to the call answer/song skip button on the earbuds causing issues. My songs would randomly stop, or move forward, or activate Suri, etc.

Anytime I've used the EXACT same earbuds on my work Iphone 5S, absolutely no problems, button works completely fine. So I know it's definitely not the earbuds, but rather the phone itself.

If Apple purposely either put a shit quality 3.5mm port into the 6 as opposed to previous models, or added a software "nerf" to make them not function properly would make me pretty pissed, however I wouldn't put it past Apple, especially after now announcing they have removed the port entirely.

Shady shit, but it all makes sense now. Anyone else have that issue with headphones on the 6?

Never encountered this problem on my iPhone 6. Use that 3.5mm port everyday.
