It’s cool how the wireless buds connect without having to mess around with bluetooth. Too bad they will be inevitably lost or put through the wash.

No headset jack seems like a bad idea. How do you connect to aux ports on car stereos or use an fm transmitter in cars that aren’t equipped with Bluetooth?

If they DO have a lightning to aux adapter, how will you charge your phone while listening to music?

Might be missing something though.

Is it hammer proof?

this new phone is like re-arranging the grains of sand on a beach and then selling the beach as new real estate.

I am sitting out of this hip hip hurray, personal politics of Tim Cook is the reason I have turned away from Apple.

Apple introduces the new Apple Watch Series 2 and the new Apple iPhone 7 in an event this morning. Neither is just a bland incremental update, but offer major updates. Apple Watch ads Dual Core, twice as fast processor with internal GPS running WatchOS 3. The iP67 water and dust resistant iPhone 7, drops the 3.5mm analog audio jack in favor of both the included Lightning earbuds and new optional wireless Stereo Airbuds that will instantly change between all your bluetooth enabled Apple devices without pairing. Apple is also including a Lightning to Analog 3.5mm adaptor for those who have legacy earbuds or earphones they prefer to use. Apple claims two hour longer battery life for the iPhone 7, one hour linger for the 7 plus than the same models in the 6s series. The processor now has four cores, two of which are low power demand "efficiency" cores which are used for tasks such as email or messaging that do not need speed. The 7 Plus has a new dual camera that includes a telephoto lens. Both cameras have optical image stabilization. Memory sizes are 32 GB through 256 GB at the same price points as last year's 16GB starting point. Apple is retaining the iPhone 6s at a lower price, but bumping the memory to 32 GB and 64GB. The iPhone 7 comes in a new Jet Black, Matte Black, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold. The Apple Watch introduces a new white Ceramic case which is harder and stronger than stainless steel. — PING!

it seems Bluetooth makes a hackable avenue for the uninvited.
