Reply to comment by stephenph in eli5: Why do most airlines still use 2-pin audio jacks for the in-flight entertainment systems on their planes? by JJGLC92

So your saying they haven't revisited entertainment systems since the 70s or 80s? Onboard wifi and on demand movies would disagree with you...

Not on already certified and installed seats they're not. If it's a retrofit program with new seats being installed, then yeah the audio jacks would likely get upgraded to the latest design. But if it's already flying the only thing those seats are getting is a half-hearted wipe with a dirty rag.

I felt the truth of the last part of this statement.
