Apple nixes headphone jack on iPhone 7
Very foolish and irresponsible for Apple to do this. Older headphones using the classic 3.5mm plug will need a lightning adapter to plug into the new iPhone 7 that Apple has just unveiled today. Unless you wanna buy $150 wireless lightning headphones.
This sets a terrifying precedence. Wired kicks wireless's ass any day of the week, as far as sound quality is concerned; it's no contest. And besides, it all becomes analog anyway? What's the point?
And some people like me count on headphones are their primary/only hi-fi, especially when they can't afford (a) good speakers/sound system.
This is more an obit for Apple than for the 138-year-old (head)phone/AUX connector.

I read that the iPhone 7 comes with a cable adapter, so you can still plug in your Walkman ear buds.

Well, there goes my chance of getting another set of headphones when I get a new iPhone, unless it was an iPhone 6. But with all due respect, Apple is dead to me ever since Steve Jobs died. I know that I still use their products, but it wasn't the same ever since Tim Cook (their current CEO) took over Apple.

Yep it's been a real suckfest in the post-Jobs era.

Yeah. They haven't been doing so well with their products. They cared more about their iPhones than their computers, which were important to the company ever since they were founded in 1976.

I think anyone should watch this, if they dislike the iPhone 7.
