On a related note: I wonder if one reason for eliminating the jack is to close that open interface which some devices like the "Square" were using. I'm not sure how much of an impact this has though; it was just a thought.
charging while using headphones?
Never forget, my friend. Never forget... http://core0.staticworld.net/images/article/2015/10/slide-06...
> "Up to 5hr. of battery life on one charge" How the fuck is it acceptable to completely remove the jack and replace it with this 'superior' technology?
The case is also the battery, which can last for 24 hours. Both the airpods and the case can be charged together.

The high-gloss finish of the Jet Black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodization and polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many cases available to protect your iPhone.[1] I think I'd go for the Black one instead. [1] http://ww…

I can't get over the headphone jack either. Another dongle to loose. Tons of headphones obsoleted. Can't charge while listening. Laggy audio. more batteries in the world. They're ok with a bulge for the camera but not headphones? I work in a lab and a phone with headphones is standard equipment on the commute and work (for at least part of the day). I would seriously move off iOS if I was making music with it. If onl…
> Can't charge while listening. If you shell out for the AirPods, you can. Though I definitely agree - I'm pretty sad to see the headphone jack go.

Honest question - Aren't IPhones already pretty water resistant? Unless getting dunked in water, I haven't heard of anyone having any issues with water damaging their IPhone.
Now they consider the waterproofing good enough to guarantee it.
I still can't get over the headphone jack. Apple does have a good record of abandoning technologies at the right time (floppies, CDs, Flash, etc) but the biggest difference is that those technologies were all on the downward slope of their popularity when Apple made the move and all had solid replacements available at the time. The headphone jack is just as popular today as it has ever been and it is still more conve…
There is still the adapter so i don't really get the hate. Moving to digital has a lot of potential in the long run and personally i am very happy with my bluetooth headphones.

And to say it was about "Courage". No, we all understand that it's a way for them to make more money selling their horrible headphones and licensing lightning to headphone makers.
While from a financial standpoint this would make sense, most of the guys making the executive decisions at Apple are design focused and oriented. Dropping the headphone jack differentiates Apple even more from its competition, makes the phone sleeker, helps with water proofing, makes the wireless headphones more appealing (which not only act as headphones but also communication devices). This was much more than just…
It's the exact same size as the 6s.
