Dear Ms. Smith,

We know Apple Inc. as  a  company that is passionate about music.  Apple
lead the revolution  in  digital music by introducing the world  to  the
iPod and iTunes,  making music even more easily accessible.
At the 3.5mm phone jack fan club,  we share your devotion  to  music and
for making music easily accessible, with simple plugs. It is our mission
to spread the use of the 3.5mm phone jack.

We know you regret as much  as  we do that there was  not enough room in
the iPhone 7  for  the 3.5mm phone jack.  As such,  we are  delighted to
inform you that Scotty Allen, of Strange Parts fame,  has found space in
the iPhone 7 to hold a connection for the 3.5mm phone jack.  This allows
you to re-include a connection for the 3.5mm phone jack in future models
of the iPhone.


In his  victory video,  in which he  presented his  solution,  Mr. Allen
showed his  openness  to  help your organization with re-introducing the
3.5mm phone jack in the iPhone. With this letter, we recommend Mr. Allen
for collaboration on your models of the iPhone.


With his hacking projects,  Mr. Allen has illustrated the desire and the
ability to go where no-one has gone before  and  to extend the limits of
technology. He made the unimanigable real and the unbelievable tangible.
He faced and overcame serious technical problems with perseverance.


With Strange Parts, Mr. Allen has built  a  global community of hackers.
His collaborations in cultures worldwide  illustrate his fitness in  any
environment, including Apple's.



Mr. Allen is a problem-solver, a community builder and a hacker 𝘱𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘨.
He really deserves a place at Apple Inc. and  we highly recommend colla-
borating with him  on the re-integration of the 3.5 mm phone jack in the
future models of your products.







Sincerely,




Jack PHONE
on behalf of the steering committee
of the 3.5mm Phone Jack FanClub®™
