-Time of headphone jack death: 11:23AM. Cause of death: lightning strike.

I just bought 2 cases and more Bluetooth headphones!

Initial thoughts on the airpod:

-Poor design. Apple is known for useful, practical design, so leaving the rods sticking out is just strange.
-Surprisingly not expensive. Compared to other truly wireless earbuds, airpods are on the low end. Sound quality is probably also on the low end.
-There's nothing forcing customers to buy airpods. You can still use bluetooth headphones or even wired headphones if you use the included adapter.
-Seems like airpods only work with apple devices. Poor decision.
-Much whining about the removal of the headphone jack. I haven't used it in ages and will be fine with moving forward to newer technologies even if there's little pain.

I can't for the life of me understand why someone will buy an iphone when the top Android brands are already better. Email is pure trash.

iPhone's are much simpler to use (/ more user friendly).

I can't for the life of me understand that someone advocates for Samsung when both the iPhone and other Android brands are better.

It's all listed on the Apple website. Jet Black does not have a 32GB option.

I see upgrade pricing on Apple. Seems like a no brainier to go for the 128gb for $100 over the 32gb, especially with the size of the photos that will be stored. Is 256gb way too much?

cozmohoot · « **Reply #55 on:** September 07, 2016, 07:06:30 PM »

So now people can't use headphones and charge the phone at the same time? Unless they have an adaptor for that...

No it's maxed at 16mb
But for the iPhone 7 it's 12mb so yes
