If not, you're in bed. Not working out, running or trying to master a track. Go buy a $20 pair of bluetooth headphones. It's not going to matter if you're just going to sleep.



You really don't see how this is an annoyance for people?

I don't think it'll harm Apple, but look at the Macbook retinas. That single port isn't a killer, but it definitely annoys the shite out of a lot of people.

I agree. It's a deal breaker for me. I am upgrading to the 6s for christmas instead of the 7 for this reason.



I seriously have a $20 pair of bluetooth headphones and haven't used a headphone jack in a year.

the issue is apple is forcing users into something that the users may not want. Specifically, they are alienating audiophiles who already own extremely high quality wired headphones, amps, and even high quality music files.

For all of the greatness they are contributing to taking high quality photos, they are doing the exact opposite for music.

Did they conveniently leave out what resolution the 7 and 7+ screens will have? All they said was it was a retina display bullshite

I mean that's you just being picky. Nothing wrong with it, some people just have other priorities.

I have a $400 pair of Sennheiser's for wired music, a $250 pair of wireless Beats for working out and then another $300 or so in a Sennheiser gaming headset.

Each one has a different role and purchased them each knowing that. If you aren't willing to shell out, that's not Apple's fault.

I like their strategy of having a battery in the storage case that can provide up to 24hrs of use before having to charge the storage case.

The quick pairing on airplay is awesome as well

Agreed. Those are good features....but I can just imagine so many people walking around downtown and one of their pods drops out.

I usually listen with my headphones around an hour every night while my phone is charging, so it is a pretty big deal for me.

I bet there will be some way to do both. A splitter, hub or something....

I own two MacBook Retinas at this moment and have never once been annoyed by that

People had to adjust. It's no different than tv's going from SD, to HD to 4K. Wired technology is a thing of the past when it comes to external devices.

That's what I don't get? Who is somewhere charging their phone, but is too lazy to grab their computer to plug their headphones in rather than standing next to their charging phone?
