Apple defends decision to ditch 3.5mm jack, says AirPods development began years ago
alanevesham said:Take the number of times an ear bud fell out of my ear and was saved by the wire attached to it and multiply it by the cost of AirPods that will get lost or run over by a lawn mower when they fall out and you got a huge number. But I guess Apple is counting on that to increase sales and profits. I've had ear buds and headphones that have lasted years. I bet I'm not going to be able to hold on to something as small as AirPods for over a month. These things are asking to be lost. And I really don't want to have to buy a new Bluetooth equipped car just so I can listen to music and charge the darn device at the same time. Bottom line is if Apple is correct about all this wireless interaction, I'll be glad that I'll be dead and those that are left can enjoy their "Brave New World" where all their thoughts and words are being monitored by corporations and governments 24/7/365. You will never see Alexa in my house. Call me paranoid, if you so desire. I've been called worse.- Who the hell told you that you had to buy wireless earbuds, in the first place?
- So you listen to music through your headphones while driving?
- What about the amount of times where earbuds fall because the WIRE was stuck on something?
- I won't call you paranoid, I will call you a troll. 1/10 troll attempt.

Apple announces water resistant iPhone 7: pressure sensing home button, dual cameras, jet black fin
I don't know what is happening. After (fairly) criticizing Apple's decisions on almost any post, it's if they listened and did everything I was hoping for.
The iPhone 7 is superior to any other device on almost any single metric, and the looks...
I also can't explain this, but I need the 7s Plus, jet black (I will destroy anything that scratches it), 128 GB. I need it, my precious!

Apple Pay to launch in Japan, New Zealand and Russia this year
Yes, and it will be Apple. It's not like the fine is unfair, or unjustified. It also wont affect Apple one bit, specially since their new iPhones are amazing.apple ][ said:

So I don't get your point.
It's as if some of you think that you have this "personal" relation and feelings with this corporations, and will defend it anywhere, from everything, no matter what.
I saw this before the big screens. I saw this before making their iPhones waterproof. I saw it before changing storage to modern levels. You name it.
It seems absurd to me.
I agree that legislation must be changed, too.

Instagram to take advantage of iPhone 7 Plus cameras, wide color gamut display in app update
It still blows my mind that Apple went from the worst camera hardware (6s) on a flagship + best post processing hardware and software to probably the best camera hardware + best processing hardware and software.
Really well done. -
Apple defends decision to ditch 3.5mm jack, says AirPods development began years ago
There are already 900 million Lightning devices sold. And why wouldn't you use your 300$ headphones on the new iPhones with the included adapter?dagaz said:This alone may stop me from upgrading to the new iPhone. I have a $300 pair of wired headphones that I love, they have great sound, that currently work with every single audio device I own. Long term, I can see the advantage of moving away from the analog 3.5mm standard, but it should be a to a new, common standard that is just as ubiquitous across all devices. I don't see a chance in hell of Lightning being adopted as widely as the 3.5mm currently is.
It's as if you have no clue of what you are talking about, or are desperate to say something, no matter how stupid it actually is.
