    • I rarely use the headphone jack in my current phone, but just the threat that I won't be able to use it while charging my phone makes me take pause on buying the iPhone 7. I'll probably still get one, but I'd take the jack over two extra hours of battery life.

      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        And there was already a standards based replacement for it (HTML 5) that everybody knew would become ubiquitous.

          How may of those "everybody's" took a stand against it and pushed for the standards based replacement?

              There is still hope for you old farts that absolutely can't live without an outdated headphone jack...

                1. Digital audio means DRM audio
                Someone needs to tell this author they include one of these in the same box as the iPhone 7...




                BTW, apple will be selling these for $9. Your chinese walmart flavor will be a buck or two in a couple of months.

                    4. Ditching a deeply established standard will disproportionately impact accessibility


                    The traditional headphone jack is a standard for a reason — it works.
                    Yeah, he has a point... ever since they ditch analog TV I can't play my damn Atari 2600! HDTV sucks!

                      Just like firewire blew USB out of the wa...... never mind.

                            You missed the point. He is absolutely correct that dongles are a PITA. And given the ubiquity of the audio jack, it is hard to see a future without a dongle. At least for several years.

                              Sure if you want to lug around a dongle everywhere you go. Have some dignity, man.
