That’s still not the same. What the equivalent is that someone takes out the USB ports from your laptop today and tells you to print wirelessly because [it’s the current year!], but you have a printer....and no built-in Wi-Fi.
And taking away the audio jack still has “jack” to do with helping mobility. The device had BT before, along with wired audio. Now it has NO headphone jack.
You can spin it all you want, but it isn’t insta-ancient because that’s the line you need to parrot because Apple put you in the position of having to do so.
Not equivalent at all, not the same. All my printers have built-in Wi-Fi. Regarding the iPhone 7, it comes boxed with the adaptor so you can connect your old devices - you're not losing connectivity at all. You can spin it all you want, but you're just an anti-Apple bigot who hawks Chinese and Korean products.
