A Defense of the IPhone 7

"packaged with the phone is an audio jack adapter and a set of quality wired earbuds"

Loll. I am pretty sure people that are complaining about it have way better quality earbuds (which actually doesn't take very much to beat apple's stock one) than those. And the thing is... Samsung has done a lot of things with their Galaxy S7 while having the headphone jack. If the S7 wasn't waterproof, then maybe people can understand but the issue is, the Galaxy S7 is Waterproof, has most of those things including the Barometer, has bigger battery and even has wireless charging.

Oh and not to mention 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 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.

Really, the only reason why Apple really did this is to make more money and hardly anything else. Companies that want to make wired headphones will have to license the connector from apple and not to mention Apple's new airpods.
