“The software is functioning as intended,” said Amber.
“Wait,” I asked, “so it’s supposed to delete my personal files from my internal hard drive without asking my permission?”
“Yes,” she replied.

Is there a prize if you manage to hold on to both Airpods for a few weeks without losing them?

The iPhone 7 will not have a traditional headphone socket.

Apple said its lightning connector could be used instead, which would make room for other components. It will also promote the use of wireless earphones, and has released a set of its own called Airpods.

The firm said it had taken "courage" to take the step.

However, it risks annoying users who will now require an adapter for existing headphones.
The US company unveiled its latest handsets at an event in San Francisco following a year in which its phone sales and market share shrank.

Other new features include:

-the home button of the new phones can now detect how firmly it is being pressed and provide vibration-based feedback

-the handsets can be submerged in water up to depths of 1m (3.2ft) for 30 minutes at a time

-the larger iPhone 7 Plus model gets a two-lens camera on its rear, allowing it to offer a choice of focal lengths

[Kaladin]

Will definitely get it

[Sri]

Lightning to 3.5mm jacks connectors are in the box - its not such a big deal.

[Sri]

Don't get it. Why is it so much more expensive in Germany?

[Sri]

It's like 200 bucks cheaper if I buy it in Hong Kong. I plan to travel there in a couple of months anyway. Looks like I have to shut it and wait.

"There could be no camera bump, a huge battery, and a headphone jack if it was 1mm thicker"

[LeVersacci]

day 1

[Myesyats]

The fact that I can't afford the new Iphone aside (I mean I can but I don't want to waste so much money) - is it only me who doesn't really like these big sized smartphones??

The size of 5S/SE is perfect imo. Anything above is too much for me.

They actually went ahead and did it

“Wait,” I asked, “so it’s supposed to delete my personal files from my internal hard drive without asking my permission?”
“Yes,” she replied.

Just wow.

Absolutely disgusting. Nobody has a visceral reaction to this?

Just saw the iPhone 7 video.

[Sri]

I am going to save up, but keep an eye on the reviews over the next few weeks before taking a call. Don't want to deal with easily breaking screens, bending phones, antenna or overheating issues, battery blowing up, etc.

Anyway, it makes sense to wait to see what the HTC (<3) manufactured Sailfish and Marlin look like.

I read something recently which made me realize why I was interested in this phone, despite not being an Apple fanboy for a decade. In fact, I have been very vocal against Apple's pricing and branding strategies. But here's the thing: hardware upgrades year-on-year are incremental at best now. What matters more is system and service integration, overall quality, ease of use, etc. and there is no denying that Apple is some way ahead of its competition on these counts.
