The TL;DR? It seems like the point of this would be to power headphones that need juice for things like ANC. Developers would also be able to have headphones give input for their apps. And overall better quality audio, with the possibility of losing the 3.5mm jack.

Do all of those features sound worth it at the cost of yet another Apple-specific connector? I guess Apple will find out.
