LOOK AT
-
@Finch, what the fück is the point of that
-
@Deer Jesus, to make money by forcing you to get Bluetooth earbuds so you can listen to music while charging your phone
-
@Finch, well that makes business sense but not common sense. I'll be honest, this change will be the difference between me buying another iPhone or not. I'm firmly in the no camp
-
@Deer Jesus, they had the same problem with the change in charger, I got an android just because I wanted to try a different phone and it's different but not necessarily better
-
@Finch, i think this feels different. Theymre just trying to squeeze every cent they can and this move makes that goal seem so obvious
-
@Finch, I have this feeling a company will come out with a pair of headphones that have lighting pass-through capabilities, as well as USB Type C ones. Look at the Moto Z Droid. They removed the headphone jack, but it hasn't been too much of an issue.
-
@I like Ike, I also think someone will make an adapter for headphones that also has a second port for a charger, in the end it doesn't matter because apple may lose a few of their customers over this but they have a dedicated fan base that would buy anything they put out
-
Honestly this is one of the most stupid things Apple has done. Go get a Galaxy S7 and never look back!
-
@BigfootUnibrowMan, I bought a gs7 the day it came our. Absolutely love it
-
@BigfootUnibrowMan, out*
-
@Charlemagne, I did too! Which one did you get the regular or the edge?
-
@rainfire, I was going to get an edge but the store I got it from was back ordered for 2 weeks so I got a base s7 instead but I LOVE it. Which one did you get?
-
@Charlemagne, I got the edge and it's amazing. Though occasionally I forget the sides are like individual screens and mess stuff up lol
-
@BigfootUnibrowMan, LG g5
-
@BigfootUnibrowMan, Or an Axon 7, which is cheaper and offers just as much
-
@rainfire, yeah haha. My friend got an edge and his hand fat keeps hitting the edges so itll glitch things. It's really funny actually
-
@Charlemagne, yeah haha, sometimes it's frustrating though, like trying to reply to a comment on here and hitting one of the side screens and it erases my text lol
-
@rainfire, oh that sounds annoying ha. How is the notifications color it has and the little side menu? Those were the two features that really interested me
-
@Charlemagne, I like them, rarely use the side menu, since I always forget about it though. It really only becomes useful between 8pm and 8am since that's when I designated night time, so it dims the screen so I don't see it glow in the dark. As far as notifications go, do you mean on the side screens as well or just in general?
-
@BigfootUnibrowMan, or or, and just here me out, let technology advance and don't cry so much about it. You can buy a Phillips Deh stereo for 60 bucks, which will fit into almost any car, have it installed at any stereo shop for 50 or so dollars and then have a better stereo with Bluetooth, anyone who complains and says oh well my car is too old for blue tooth I say tell them this. I had a 1987 Volvo and was able to install a Bluetooth stereo for 70 bucks, so no it's not that big of a deal
-
@BigfootUnibrowMan, *explodes*
-
@4Chan Ambassador , *tries to plug into your non-existent aux port*
-
LOOK AT ALL OF THE INNOVATION
-
"Here, we'll make you something super inconvenient to do what you guys want!"
-
Is Apple trying to drive away their customers? Because this is how you drive away your customers.
-
@Sybil Reisz, no. People will buy it. Apple fan boys will buy their products no matter what
-
@Charlemagne, I'm not saying they won't buy this gen of iphones, I'm saying they'll buy them, realise how inconvenient and incompatible they are compared to the competitors, be angry about it, and probably buy a Samsung phone when the next gen of iPhone rolls around.
-
@Sybil Reisz, honestly? The loss of the 3.5mm Jack doesn't bother me. Obviously, I think it's incredibly stupid and they will regret it, but I personally never use it anyways. What does bother me is the fact that they got rid of the 64gb option. So if I trade my 6s in, I have to either downgrade to a 32gb or upgrade to the 128gb, and I don't like being forced into upgrading.
-
@Devils Avocado, gotta point out that the 64gb model costs as much as 128gb now. iPhone never started at 64, they just shifted the capacity size up so you get more for your cash. $300 iPhone 6S is 64gb, $300 iPhone 7 is 128gb.
-
@FP Waiter, really? I assumed it was just another way to get more of my money. Well, maybe I'll go for it then. Maybe.
-
Hey at least the iPhones haven't exploded or burned anyone's houses down. Cough cough Note 7.
-
@FP Waiter, but when their phones exploded, their heads were protected by their headphones!
-
@Devils Avocado, I'm not sure where you're going with that. Apple still has headphones, and Note 7s aren't hand grenades.
-
@FP Waiter, tried to stretch the audio jack joke too far. As in, expensive headphones that use the Jack-- plugged into exploding phone-- protected ears from said explosion, whereas with the iPhones you wouldn't be using the nice headphones, as there's no Jack. It's best not to think too much into it.
-
I guess this is what it feels like when your favorite sports team is having a really bad season.
-
The headphone jack is old technology, it's like still using a tape deck, blue tooth people! Move on !
-
@benderama, I hardly know anyone with Bluetooth headphones/speakers.
-
@Douche Amore, it's all I use anymore, all my cars are blue tooth, and my garage stereo is Bluetooth my living room, hell my motorcycle helmet is Bluetooth
But you can't use the charger while using the adapter with the aux
