Apple has deep sixed the headphone jack on the iPhone 7, claiming that getting rid of the jack hole will help make the phone waterproof.
Great idea or incredible outrage?
Harmless innovation or CIA conspiracy to give us all brain cancer and/or control our minds via wireless earbuds?
Discuss.
It’s clearly a conspiracy to gain control of our minds and link them all into one supercomputer, although if they wanted to do that, the Air Pods shouldn’t cost US$160 and last only 5 hours.
Which will be lost constantly…you’ll have to buy those once a year at least
It’s a win, win. For those of us that only use the phone when necessary, it will be a convenience factor. For those that are searching for Pokemon and have their phones glued to their heads nonstop, brain cancer it is.
But what if we use it to play music while we exercise? We’ll be reducing our butts but hurting our brains.
Hmmm…good question. I’d love to think of an answer, but I’ll wait until I take out these wireless ear…what are they called again?
I thought Air Bud was a movie about a dog that could play basketball.
They’re probably fine though I’d prefer to see a ten year study where rats wear air buds without hurting their brains.
Just seeing rats using little ear buds would be kind of cool.
I’m buying an android with wired earbuds next time. If people wanted wireless earbuds then you’d still see them walking around with Bluetooth things in their ears.
True. Admittedly, the bluetooth wireless buds/phones have been there for years. I have a pair. I rarely use them because I am just too lazy to keep them charged whereas the corded kind are easy to grab and ready to go. The existence or lack of the jack doesn’t change much other than Apple is pushing the industry to go wireless presumably to make more money on wireless buds.
Just don’t get a Samsung Note as they catch fire apparently.
Yeah, I’m not sure what I’ll get when my current iPhone gives up. I don’t want to catch fire, but I don’t want wireless earbuds either!
