Have we covered the fact that it doesn't have a headphone jack yet? Because I hate that.
Ad nauseamYou'll get over it.

Of course the iPhone 7/7 Plus has a headphone jack.
Actually, it has two different kinds. One is called a Lightning port. The other is a 3.5mm headphone jack at the end of a Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter, which is included in the box with every purchase.

The iPhone 7s top features: It sets Apple tech back 10 years, looks the same as the last 5 phones, and still can't do as much as a Samsung.
Lol, what?

...yes, and you can charge it while travelling with external battery ...ooh wait, you need another adapter ( which is not free ). And then you go to your Mac..oooh wait, you need your old headphones, because Mac doesn't have Lightning port. That's very comfortable :-)))

This is a forum for the discussion of Apple products. Why don't you troll off to a Samsung forum if you like them better? Or is that on fire, too?

Is it possible for us to have one article on this site that doesn't get overrun with incessant whining about headphone jacks or the lack of Mac updates? You can't possibly NOT know that the headphone jack issue has been discussed extensively on this site. All worthwhile discussion on the topic has long since been exhausted. Please let it go. Any further discussion on this is simply an indication that you want to annoy others by rehashing the topic.[doublepost=1474138582][/doublepost]
Wow Apple Watch OS3 sucks so bad. I hate it. The got rid of glances! I used that to quickly next music while at work.
Are you kidding? watchOS 3 is a revelation - it makes the original Apple Watch so much better! Glances were essentially barely functional screenshots of apps. They've been replaced by the Dock, activated using the lower side button, which gives you immediate access to actual in-memory, running apps, and the rightmost entry in the Dock is "Now Playing", giving you access to those controls you wanted. If you want even quicker access, you can set a complication to "Music", and get to the controls with one tap - as a bonus, if you use one of the long complications, it'll show the track currently playing. And they've made it easier to quickly change between watch faces, by swiping across the screen, making it more reasonable to keep multiple watch faces around configured for specific situations, so you can have one for the office, with a music complication set up.[ Read All Comments ]
