OT: Apple's iPhone 7 is Officially Here

[Knickkilla]

I don't understand why they would take off the headphone jack. That means people will need to use a separate device for listening to music...

Airpods, bluetooth earphones

With Samsung recalls and iPhone garbage it will be the LG V20 for me

Good choice, I have the LG V10.. So far it´s the best phone I´ve had.

i still got iphone 4s

So the iPhone 7 did not bring us the double-sided wrap-around screen (or sweet edges like Samsung), but Apple is taking off the headphone jack??

This is the forward progress I'm looking for!

How's that Note recall working for you guys?

--Mags

My Note 7 works great and I am extremely satisfied. The recall is blown out of proportion. No pun intended lol. There were 25 cases out of 1 faulty batch not much to worry about. Note beats the I7 in every category expect for having a 7mp front facing.

Umm, real world speed tests aren't out yet, so keep believing that!

Every year Android & Samsung fanboys tout the same sh*t to Apple fanboys about how their devices will trump ours, and EVERY FUC'N YEAR they....wait for it...

Wired headphones have better sound quality

and who wants to actually have to charge their headphones

[Yankeeknickfan]

Glad that I still have a phone that works great. Should be good until 2019-2020

Really was the best iPhone ever made. Durable, tough, and long lasting.

I had mine for 4 years before upgrading to an IPhone 6s last Fall.

This year the 4s becomes obsolete in coverage.

I have no idea wtf an airpod is, and literally nobody I know uses Bluetooth headphones. Aside from sound quality, it would seem inefficient to use them because Bluetooth drains battery very quickly and phone manufacturers haven't figured out how to increase battery life to a sufficient level yet.

I mean, if you have to buy another expensive device to listen to music, then the phone would essentially be a scam, aka a bait-and-switch. That device should be included free of charge along with the phone.

No Headphone jack? Apple just screwed up big time for me. I hope this isn't permanent going forward.

The aux input in my car was a must have for me.

im a life long apple user at work and home

Im so sick of their BS

ok, so now all the non-bluetooth gear is obsolete?
not to mention the forced upgrades of the OS in order to use the IOS
and no hardware upgrades in ages
and everything getting wonkier and less user friendly


sick of them

oh, but the design film is tabletop porn

theres an adaptor included, as mentioned before

I dont buy a new iphone every time a new one drops. I usually get a new phone once every 2 years.

I have a 6s plus and kind of want this new one since it will be water resistant. I spend about 30 minutes every day in a recovery tub and Im always holding my phone in there with vice grip hands.

Ok good, but why not just make the phone with the jack instead of adding an extra accessory. Just another thing for someone to possibly misplace and have to purchase again. It's a bad move imo

I'm gonna keep my 6 Plus

*waits for it to suddenly malfunction soon as 7 drops*

Pretty much the same way I am. Bur, on the jack backlash...People forget that the lightning connector recieved similar backlash when it was added last 2 years too (first on the iPad then on the iPhone).

People adapted.

Yeah, basically if there arent sizable upgrades I am not interested in putting out cash for the latest phone. With that said, this one seems to have sizable upgrades . I'll wait, I usually end up getting the S versions. I agree with the 4S comment you made, that was a damn good phone.

I don't own anymore (too much of a pain in the ass), and joined my carrier's Lease 4 Life program so I can upgrade for free yearly if I choose.

I'm debating whether to go from the 6s to 7, or wait for next year's 10 year special iPhone 8 one.

They give an adapter to convert lightning to headphone jack. Included in box.

[ag3]

Why is the LGV20 better then the iPhone 7 plus?
Comparing specs, they are very similar.

It's all about software and I still prefer the smoothness of Apple iOS over Droid and I've used all the new ones.
