@nivo0o0 @jackdweck they took away the female jack :( now we have wireless phalluses for our ear holes
@aerykpayne @jackdweck Happy to see they include a Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter in the box!
@jackdweck Don't worry, you'll be able to find this in every other phone and tablet manufactured that Apple doesn't make. They only killed it for iOS devices; the rest of the device manufacturers will just laugh and continue to include them.
Apple keynote takeaway: FOR $159 YOU CAN HAVE APPLE BRANDED CIGARETTE PENISES HANGING FROM YOUR EARS
@joshecheverri Yeah, don't see this becoming quite the fashion trend of the original white earbuds
@nivo0o0 Sure but "best" is now delivering marginal utility. Cheaper phones serve most users just fine.
@nivo0o0 most mature categories no longer have individual "must have" product iterations - just look at cars, refrigerators, lightbulbs, televisions, etc. There's steady incremental improvement every year, but people only buy a new one when some external event triggers the need. No one buys a new TV just because a new TV was released that seemed like a big improvement.
@brandonb927 well the you can go ahead and upgrade now. :) http://appleplugs.com/
Wow, the image stabilizer is definitely a system-seller. People tend to underestimate the ability of Apple of transforming anyone into a legit content creator. This is always where the disruption happens.
Ummmm...so, what happens when I want to listen to my music via my wired headphones and charge it? SOL I guess...or spring for the $159 option. Some 3rd-party (looking at you Griffin) to make a dongle to charge and listen simultaneously. For $40 probably.
@iamrandyellis Yeah this is so annoying. I hate dongles. Probably will not get iPhone anymore. It's just too annoying.
@iamrandyellis what happens if you want to load a cd-rom on this bad boy while charging AND listening to music AND Air-Playing a separate stream? SMH innovation my ass
Think people should relax about the headphone jack lol
Good job I splurged on a decent set of Bluetooth headphones over a year ago ✌️
@bentossell Yeah, me too. Generally, love the specs of these AirPods but was hoping for better design. I'll have to try them out for a week or two when they come out.
@leachy114 Ofc they cost significantly more than the lightning ones but that how you do it right. Add extra 20$ or so to the cost of the phone. They just did incremental upgrade to the phone as compared to previous generations in-terms of design and technology. They could have easily showed the world that wireless is the way to go and that would push the demand for wireless headsets, in turn bringing the cost of wireless headphones down.
@sidrock28 Apple has 160 billion in the bank. I don't think they are going to be a charity anytime soon.
@joris_landkroon They do... Take a look at ConnectED and they also mentioned donating 50000 iPads. Apple is one company that takes the whole community forward and I love them for that. They also do take technology forward... They did that with the introduction of 2012 Retina MacBook Pro, introduced SSD when a 512 GB costed 800+ $ while selling it a little about the cost of a standard MacBook Pro at that time. See what happened they still sell at the same price but the price of SSD has gone down significantly. They took the whole industry forward. This is one of the many examples... I believe if Apple believes in Wireless then they should have added the AirPod as an accessory included in the iPhone 7. However I do believe Lightning headphone is better than aux headphones but not at the cost of inconvenience to iPhone users. Ask few questions. What happens if you have charge while playing music? What happens if you have a cool 3rd part accessory connected to the iPhone.
From these comments, I can't tell if it's cool to hate Apple or cool to like Apple right now.
It changes every 6 months when groups of hipsters need to separate themselves from other groups of hipsters.
@loaibassam I guess not lol. Have to wait 2 more years for that. Apple is always behind Samsung these days.
@james_osullivan @loaibassam "wireless charging"gotta be the biggest scam around!?
@james_osullivan @loaibassam its not that its bad just utterly pointless tech for the saie of it. With the cost of the 7+ being so steep i hope google announce a better value 5.5" phone!
@paulblakeman @loaibassam idk. Starbucks are starting to be outfitted with wireless chargers on their tables. It is really convenient.
For headphones, the BeatsX look like a good option. I'd lose the airpods on the floor of the muni within a week.
"Lasts 2 more hours than iPhone 6s". Yes, thanks to whomever creates your batteries. Not you.
Also pretty shameful that they don't have wireless charging.
@james_osullivan the difficulty in plugging in a cable for mobile devices is most assuredly a First World problem
For when you simply can't wait for courageous innovation: http://appleplugs.com/
Feels like the iPhone just took it's place as the CoD of the smartphone industry...with fewer aliens.
Of all the new iPhone announcements this is definitely the one with the lowest expectations ever. However: I am very interested in raw format captures and new photo capabilities. Anyway, see no real reason to upgrade from an older 6 or 6s. And I love my many wired headphones!
i am interseted this phone,,, this phone is very nice and awsome looking,,, but i did not know back up system,,, so kindly any one persone back up system details tell me...
