  • Too soon? Apple's new iPhone 7 ruffles feathers with Lightning audio, Home button changes

    You didn't mention charging while listening. That's the biggest drawback to using Lightning headphones. Or wireless ones which need to be charged. You give up the functionality of listening on long trips, in a car, plane, train, etc. That's a step back.  At least without third party dongles. Apple should have introduced wireless charging first, so you could listen while staying charged.
    I agree. This is my only concern re: lightning headphones. I currently use my earpods and only my earpods on my iPhone6 (yes, I'm not an audiophile though I have sensitive enough hearing on a quiet night to hear tungsten step-down energy states on a cooling incandescent - actually I "see" it if I close my eyes). However, I also listen while driving using my headphones (I have a 12 year old car, and it won't die any time soon) - and I often have a low charge when I get in the car. I fear I'm going to start hating my drive if it forces me to choose between charging vs. listening. I tried BT headphones, they were really cool, but I kept getting neck aches and headaches, so I stopped. Apple, for gawdsakes, PLEASE fix this. The belkin "solution" is not at all elegant and it's frustrating I have to shell out another $40.

  • iPhone 7 owners say phones producing 'hissing' sound under heavy task loads

    I have an iPhone7+ 256GB on order, and I'm especially sensitive to noise (and tend to use my phone at night, etc). If this is as annoying as they say, I'm definitely returning mine. I have a really nice iPhone6 that doesn't hiss, I'll keep that if need be.

    Love companies and people that have a sense of "Entitlement".
    It's basically how business is done - it's all about the money (and prospects for future money).

  • US regulators probe Apple, Google, Verizon & others on security patches

    r00fus1r00fus1
    Yesss! It's pitiable that Android handset manufacturers can get away with delaying critical security patches for months (that is months after Google patches Android which may take weeks or months as well) while raking in billions in revenue selling insecure devices. I have friends and family who will never own Apple devices, and while I think Apple devices are more secure, those who use Android shouldn't be made to suffer because their manufacturer is playing fast and loose with updates.
