content: whining about the iPhone is silly all the silly complaints here so all of a sudden paying out the ass for an unnecessary piece of luxury technology is too much for some? well where was your problem with it before? where's the complaints about all the money you spent on that iPhone 5/6, or the latest smartphone, or tablet, or overpriced gaming console/game. no ordinary people were getting iphones on release date anyway, so who are you people that are complaining now?  no you don't have to shell out on brand new 150 dollar 'airpods' because the iPhone 7 comes with earpods anyway - and the lightning connector. you will never, ever need to buy those airpods from apple unless you absolutely want to. you get earphones with the iPhone and if you don't like them, you can connect any set to the iPhone using the connector that comes with it. if you really want wireless headphones you can buy a different brand - you don't have to go for apple's premium release brand. also just a reminder - the old classic white headphones were exorbitantly expensive too and nobody had a problem with that even though they were also optional see 2. don't buy them if you don't like them. just don't post stupid pictures of chicks out running on blatantly contrasting backgrounds and expect me to believe that people are going to lose these things the first time they drop on the floor. having not tested them, I can't verify whether they are good or not - but they no doubt have been designed to fit in the ear and they are bright white. call them ugly if you will - personally I think they're ok - but if you lose these straightaway you were probably doing something stupid to begin with. yes, I guess the potential is there for them to be lost - but the potential is also there for your phone etc. it's part of the risk of utilizing luxury technology. (luxury in the sense that you don't actually need it).  who does this anyway? do you sit at home with your phone plugged in while listening to music? I don't and I don't know anyone who does. the whole point of music on a portable device is to have it charged up and ready to use when you go out, i'm not charging my phone when i'm out and about - and if I was I probably wouldn't be too concerned about music because I prefer not to suck my battery up as soon as I charge it. I get that this is annoying for some people who charge on the go or use car adaptors but i'm sure there will be some kind of workaround using wireless. there's nothing else really. it's all gay, really silly sounding criticism of something which was a rich boy's toy to begin with. there's nothing essential about iphones - and if you don't like them then don't get one. I've never bought one. I don't own one. but I can see why moving to different technology standards can be useful - and I can see how having no open ports (or moving towards it) on a device could be good as I've lost several devices to wear in and around the ports.  edit: 6. camera change is meh actually from all the research I can find, the change to the camera etc with the dual lens (which is one of the reason why they dropped the headphone port), is a huge upgrade to the camera. it brings it up on par with portable cameras. in other words the iPhone is now a deluxe digital camera as well as a phone. other upgrades to the iPhone 7 are nothing to be scoffed at - and these updates apparently weren't possible without removing the headphone jack. let's stop being a bunch of pretentious geeks. either you're into the iPhone 7 because you're into that shit. or you're not and you need to stop whining like a little baby wall street banker that's lost his Bluetooth headset and can't find his Segway to get up the stairs. shut up. edit: weird ass voat has made my 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. into 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.
