Cause Samsung is doing something about it and after the mass recall, everyone will have a perfectly fine Note 7? The odds are supposedly 35 per million shipments. And that one has gotten its fair share of hate, just go to reddit and etc. But what won't change is the lack of a headphone jack until perhaps the next itteration if Apple actually listens.

What I will say to that every other hate against it is just :/ I think the new iphone is pretty great apart from the headphone jack.

Well, we can't really compare the slight problem of needing the packed-in adaptor to use your phone with a situation where the device is exploding in people's hands, pockets, hurting little kids, being forbidden on planes. One is an engineering decision, other is the lack of competence from engineers. I'm surprised that people still want this phone instead of their money back. It's a badly designed crap, there's no other way to put it.

There is some truth to that.

I also agree with you on the headphone jack removal, it's not a problem in itself per se (for me at least), it's only a problem because Apple stupidly didn't replace lightening with USB-C. I am not getting wired lightening headphones that don't even work with ..... Macs and Macbooks
