Well... It actually wasn't the Note 7 that exploded on that kid's hand. It was something else I believe. But the removable of the headphone jack is nonsense and it is a more of an inconvience for a longer period of time than the Note 7 Situation. Yes those batteries were badly engineered hence why Samsung is replacing the phones with batteries that don't suck. The phone itself isn't badly enginnered and its Camera even beats the iphone 7's camera in virtually all comparisons.

No one is denying the Note 7 isn't a disaster but it is a disaster that will be replaced soon enough. What won't is the lack of a headphone jack. Yes you get an adapter but it is an incovience for the life of the device. You can't charge it while listening to music and considering it effectively requires you to unplug and replug when you want to listen/charge, it will decrease the amount of times the port will allow you to plug and unplug before it dies. So essentially, it cuts the life of the port by a lot since there is always a certain amount of times you can unplug/plug a connection into a port. Oh and of course, people will lose the adapter since it is so tiny and will have to get replacement ones. On top of that, Apple will require companies to get a license license for lighting port in order to make wired headphones to work with the iphone 7 which will increase the price of the wired headphones if you want to use the lighting port.

It's a nuisance, but who hell sits stationary listening to music while their phone is tethered to a wall jack? Like what is this? 1986? To be honest this issue is hugely overblown. 

iPhone 7 is a good phone. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge, which is basically the only phone that really can compete head to head with it, and the iPhone 7 has several advantages. Android phones may have better specs on paper, but they rarely perform better than Apple phones in actual usage. Apple makes killer mobile chips and really tunes to the metal, whereas Android phones often are drowned in bloatware shit. 

We do have portable batteries for a reason... And many do such as during car rides with Aux and car charger...

And I just said a couple of posts ago that apart from the headphone jack, I like the iphone 7 and etc. And yea, Android does have its own issues but no one ever said anything about that because those issues don't matter to most people and the phones, while performance wise isn't as good as iphones, still performs super well. But what does matter is the headphone jack hence why you see this uproar in pretty much every site because that is one thing that will matter to most people.

I am not gonna say this will affect the sales to a zomg degree but I do hope that with the next itteration, Apple brings back the headphone jack because if the iphone 7 had it, it probably been another home run.
