Remember when Apple announced that headphone jacks on new iPhones would become passé? Whatever you may think about that decision, one thing is certain. The rumor mill had pegged it long before the official announcement was made.

Well, here’s another one. Macotakara, a Japanese tech site that predicted Apple’s decision to remove audio jacks, has now made another prediction. Macotakara is saying that Apple’s next design change will be to eliminate the USB port. Maybe Macotakara called it. Maybe not. We’re not going to know for sure until Apple let’s us all in on the secret.

In the meantime, I’m wondering what you’d do if Apple ever did remove the USB port. So many of us depend on that for USB sticks that hold our playlists, back-ups, press kits, and every other important digital parts of our work and lives.

Tell us your thoughts: would you switch to another brand of computer?
