Android phones are better/cooler, but I am not as upset about removing the headjack as most people are. Get over it.
battery is worst part. Processor also needed, bc they shit wakes up hungover whenever you turn it back on from Power Reserve or Off.
Charging wireless headphones is super annoying, but the wireless is really convenient. They make some earbuds that fit well and stay in place with no over-ear.
my problem with the no headphone jack is I don't want my expensive Bluetooth headphones to short out. I typically use cheap headphones when working out that are like $20 bucks and have had much better results compared to the apple headphones. The converter jack looks like a pain.
the iPhone 7 has IP67 rating. It's an ingress protection rating. The first number is for the dust, the second is for moisture. 7 is "protected from immersion in water with a depth of up to 1 meter (3.2 feet) for up to 30 minutes." the Samsung phones have IP68 8 is "water resistant to a maximum depth of 1.5m (~5ft) for up to 30 minutes." Keep in mind that these numbers are generated in tests where the phones are in standby mode. I've only taken my Note 7 in water twice, but I have a friend that puts his through hell (shower every day and swimming). These ratings don't really mean anything though because neither Apple or Samsung provide warranty service when water damage is involved, even with the ratings. The key is that IP67 and IP68 are water resistant, not waterproof. Full disclosure: My Note 7 is a work provided device that has insurance on it. If it was my personal phone I would never let it touch water.
With AppleCare and $100 replacement phones I probably wouldn't mind fucking with it in water. I have the original Apple Watch which is not supposed to be waterproof and I take it in the ocean and the pool all the time with no problems. Will be interesting to see how it holds up when tested. I'm sure some tech sites will run extensive tests
I have a couple of $200-$300 headphones that would be rendered useless if there is no adapter. I only use Bluetooth headphones when I work out. Getting rid of the headphone jack kinda sucks I hope the adapter doesn't fuck up the sound of my headphones.
For whatever stupid reason, I thought the watch was water proof. Took it in the ocean every day on my honeymoon last October. Then sometime this summer I read that it's not actually waterproof. Never had a problem with it
How much is applecare? I bought my device from Verizon but declined the insurance because fuck those Asurion dickheads.
That post was awkwardly worded on my part. My "expensive" headphones are cable so without the adapter they'd have been rendered useless. The only time I use Bluetooth headphones is when I work out thus for me apple getting rid of the headphone jack sucks.
Slept through 2 alarms and auto lights turn on this morning. Supposedly Apple's allowing another round of instore reservations on the 17th.
what bluetooth headphones do you use to workout. Kinda worried my good ones will short out from sweat. I'm a sweaty beast though.
I use the powerbeat 2s. Usually I am not a beats guy but from what I read those and the jay birds are the two best workout headphones. I have had no issues with them but they are kinda pricey.
I didn't know persians were sweaty? I like them but have only used them at the beach or traveling so they've never felt the full brunt of my sweatiness.
I'm irrationally angry. Testing iOS 10 for my company. Years of push home/power button, swipe to unlock in muscle memory. Nope. TAP Home button to unlock now. Over and over my day has been push, swipe, "FUCK!", tap.
Ah, I'm on a 6 Plus so that isn't an option. Work ordered me a 7 Plus today so hopefully that will be better.
http://www.sfgate.com/technology/article/In-Hong-Kong-the-iPhone-7-becomes-a-penis-joke-9212841.php In Hong Kong, the iPhone 7 becomes a penis joke By Mike Moffitt The new iPhone 7 Plus with the dual lens camera during an Apple Event to announce new products at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, Calif., on Wednesday, September 7, 2016. People in Hong Kong are laughing at Apple's new iPhone 7, and it's not just because of the headphone jack kerfuffle. In Cantonese, the new iPhone's marketing slogan — "This is 7" — translates as "This is penis." The Cantonese character for "seven" is pronounced tsat (or "chat"), which is also slang for the male sex organ. While vulgar, the term is not especially offensive, according to Quartz. It's often used to describe a goofy person or someone one who does something stupid or funny, as in "You are so seven." In English, "dork," or "dorky," might come close as an equivalent. Cantonese is the spoken language in Hong Kong. Mainlanders and Taiwanese speak Mandarin. The new iPhone has been chastised for a design that removes the traditional headphone jack, a sentiment that also appears to be shared by iPhone users in Hong Kong. "Without a 3.5mm earbud jack, this is exactly penis," wrote one Hong Konger commenter under a Facebook post. The number "seven" has a history of inducing giggles in Hong Kong. Local politicians linked to the number —for example, through vote totals — often find themselves the butt of penis jokes. Sansung's Galaxy Note 7 was mocked at its launch earlier this year because the translation of "Note 7" sounds like "stick of penis," according to Quartz. In other iPhone 7 news, Gizmodo reported that the best way to charge your iPhone 7 and use wired headphones is a very large $40 dongle. That's right, your new penis phone requires a giant dongle. Figures.
