Hahaha 3 anti-EU posts in a row and all 3 with a lone Dislike. Guess one of our resident Pro-globalism whores is stalking about.

Outright thievery and just a scaled up version of a patent troll trying to extort Apple because "they have all teh moneyz".

This is where Tim shines. "Nope. Not paying a dime. We'll tie them up in appeals for years. We'll set aside some money, but you won't even notice it on the balance sheet."

So the 'black' phone will be glossy but the others will be matte? I'm skeptical about that. Perhaps they had to do something different with this model so it wouldn't easily scratch and get dinged up? The 'black' iPhone 5 didn't hold up so well in this respect.

Did you read the article or look at the picture?

2 black models. 1 matte, 1 glossy. At least according to this piece.

Unsurprising, given that this iPhone likely will look just like the last two. guess which color is likely to be the most popular ...

The antennae system looks completely different, the back is smooth and seamless instead of cut up, the bottom looks different with no 3.5mm jack, the Home Button will look slightly different with its other changes.

Exactly how much has to change before it doesn't "look just like the last two"?

It still a rectangle with an aluminum and glass body and single button on the bottom front and a slit on the top front. I guess it looks just like every iPhone ever made then, eh?

This false narrative has gotten really annoying.

If Apple included such bluetooth AirPods in the iPhone box that would really make people less annoyed with the removal of the headphone jack. It would also make it more alluring to upgrade for people still on the fence (because, you know, 'boring'). Sadly, I don't see that coming, though. I think Apple will only bundle a pair of Lightning EarPods and maybe a 3.5 mm jack adapter. I would be really pleased if they decided to surprise us with a pair of wireless earbuds bundled (oh, well. One can dream!)

Lightning EarPods yes. 3.5mm adapter, no. That would defeat the entire purpose of ditching the earphone jack. A 3.5mm adapter will be available but it will not be included and will not be free.

Lightning in the box so they can upsell you on wireless and overcharge for a stupid adapter. Only question is how will Schiller be able to spin the Lightning headphones as better than current headphones? Especially if you no longer can use headphones and charge the device at the same time. A lot of people do that, I know I do.

No one cares about anything of this. Lightning in the box because thats all they've ever included, and ever needed to include: headphones for the iPhone.

Get over. No one cares about your headphone collection.
