Why is people still harping on the fact that the headphone port is removed? There will be a lot of conspiracy theory no doubt. But I am glad Apple has removed it moving forward.
Cuz still not getting used to it. Sometimes want to plug in headphones then realised my 7+ got no jack so got to use my note 7 or 6s+ instead. Just happened on the way back in the train when I wanted to watch a YouTube video. Lol

Have never been a fan of wireless headphones and I have not bought the lightning adaptor yet. Lost mine the other day.

For those using wireless all the while then I guess no difference. All my headphones and iems are wired so need to get used to it lo.

the future trend should be true wireless earbuds. wires are cumbersome:o

Wonder when will apple do wireless charging since they say wireless is the future. Doesn't make sense to remove headphone jack cuz wireless is the future but still don't add wireless charging to their phones.

I'm in this camp too. Been using jaybird for a while now and don't want to look back. Before there I was hesitant too, having another device to charge, but got used to it after a while.

No tangled earphones, no dangling wires when jogging. Free and easy.

Not a huge audiophile, so the jaybird is one of the better sounding earphones I've used so far. And the price is not that much more than the UE600, TDK BA-700 I had.

err wireless music is not e same as wireless charging :s22: anyway shud b coming soon, Apple is reportedly working with Energous using their long distance WattUp wireless charging tech. likely dun need to place on a charging pad like what e other manufacturers r doing now...

This bird earphone also got wires no? I'm using Plantronics, though it's Bluetooth, I would prefer true wireless ones like bragi/earin/phazon/iconx etc.

Yea I'm having this issue. Seems like after awhile the app batt usage will be blank too. Seriously hope for a solution to this. I can't track my batt life at all.

Some lowlight comparison. Samsung trend towards more contrast and saturation, Apple seems more neutral. Both performed well...

For close up shots in dimmer condition like this photo, the S7E was a lot easier to focus on the flower, the iphone struggles a bit with focusing in dim lighting. Both captured camera shake, even OIS can't help a bit of shaky hands in dim conditions. Colour wise iPhone 7 handled the colour way way better.
