“Like moths drawn to a flame and getting burned, the anti-Apple bigots “

“Bigot”? LOL Ok, Apple SJW. Whatever you say. I guess I should have given you a trigger warning that you might hear something that goes against your dogma so you get your safe space ready

“denigrate a roll-out of technical improvements that push technology forward to the future.”

LOL! Taking out the audio jack is not “technical improvements that push technology forward to the future” anymore than taking out the screen is. Apple just did it....and you dutifully praise it.

Exactly what technology is being pushed into the future? The technology of inconvenience?

“I suppose you also complained about the demise of old RS-232 and parallel sockets, unless you cobbled them to your dumb phones”

1/10. Not even remotely the same. Quite being obtuse.

Not so different. The point is that most people no longer print to their printers over a dedicated parallel cable. I haven't done so in many, many years. The printing goes over wireless to my printers. I'm glad I no longer have to deal with dedicated parallel cables to my printer. You call it "technology of inconvenience". Wrong. It is certainly convenient to do away with wires for mobility. And it isn't "quite", it's "quit being obtuse", which isn't the case.

Why are you complaining? You don't use an iPhone and you won't buy an iPhone 7, but here you are screaming your fool head off about something that will not ever impact your pansy bottom as if it is a personal affront to you. Why? What skin is it off your nose? What insult have YOU suffered that you are so butt hurt? Why are you ALWAYS being a rude Troll in Apple threads, telling us we are so stupid as to like Apple products and the changes to technology they make?

You aren't going to be inconvenienced a single whit by Apple iPhones not having a 3.5mm headphone jack. But you are complaining as if you lost your dearest friend. Why?

Quit coming to Apple threads and telling Apple users they are stupid. You populate every Swordmaker thread with hyperbole and insults and it changes not one Apple users mind. It is never about the hardware it is always about the whole system and Apple users clearly prefer it. Do we like it when Apple doesn't offer some cool feature that Android offered? No but we are willing to forgo that new killer feature because we don't want the inevitable baggage that comes with it. If it is really cool it will find its way into the system.

Did you notice that Apple built an entirely new processor to handle the bluetooth audio? Probably not.
