Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

its not an oxymoron but there arent any outright good ones

for 99% of iphone owners, wireless earbuds are the best choice

for everyone else theres audeze et al.

gotta have 100.0% battery life when you walk out the door or else you might miss precious minutes of pokemon go as the day wears on

go to work all day and then go out for a 10 mile run with gps tracking and then go do something for dinner without charging it and surprise it dies. great user experience there, charging is an edge case now i guess?

So just out of curiosity do the new wired lightning headphones have an internal DAC, like everyone is saying will be the big stupid audiophile advantage to having headphones only connectable through the lightning port? Or do they still use the iPhone's internal DAC and pass the audio out as analog signal on some of the unused pins?

I bet it's the latter

i mean if they're going to do this with the headphone jack, they might as well go a hundred percent of the way and make it all digital, instead of a half assed "exactly the same audio signal out but the plug doesn't fit anymore" poo poo

20 minutes to shower and get dressed is enough to add ~25% so yes it does.

i speculate that the new iPhone will charge a lot faster. so if 15 minutes gets you to 75 or 80 charge, then listening to music while charging isn't really a huge deal. iPhone 2017 will probably have wireless charging, so even that shouldn't be a problem in the future.

also, did they confirm this thing that pleasurekevin speculated? can you charge the iphone from 10% to 80% in 15 minutes?

on the plus side for people downgrading to a 7 from an earlier phone, you'll get a premium on ebay from people snapping up replacement phones to ensure they'll have headphone jacks

the wireless earbuds have a 5 hour charge which is garbage
