The lightening port is a superior charging jack, which can be had for the same price as android cords (LOL @ "miniusb). It's also so common that anywhere people gather someone is bound to have a lightening charger. They're much more common than mini usbs outside of the computer jobs.

The "headphone jack" hasn't been replaced by the lightening port. It's been replaced by Bluetooth. The lightening earphone jack is a temporary holdover until Bluetooth headphones become the new standard.

sorry but you must be stupid as gently caress or something bc the iPhone cables cost like $15-20 and I can get a miniusb for a dollar

1. Apple didn't make a "proprietary headphone jack."

4. You can still listen to headphones while charging you dipshits, Just not with your fail tangled corded gaming headphones

3. actually Apple is not the first to do this idiot lmao Apple is not innovative ever
4. sure just buy a separate dongle for it

idgi why did apple need to make their bad air buds look like their ear pods with the wires cut off, I've had like three different bluetooth headsets that didn't need a ridiculous penis hanging off the bottom to work. They also had little clips to hold them in your ears, and wires to connect them so if (when) one fell out you wouldn't immediately lose it and need to buy a new set.

Also big phones own, I had a nexus 6, and now I have a nexus 6p, they both rule. I have a nexus 7 too, and if it was a phone I would totally cram it into my pants and walk around with it and hold it against my face like a big plate that I talk into like a bad 1980s sci fi movie where videophones are still a great idea

Also android is finally at the point where 1) they're making it a huge pain in the rear end to root it and 2) I don't feel the need to do it anymore, why can't all these dummies just get on board. I use an iPhone for work, and I'd drop it in the toilet next chance I got if they told us they were replacing them with android phones

lol if you think Apple was the first to ditch the headphone jack in their smartphones.

Apple, as it has been for years; is still playing catch-up with the features/tech in existing Android phones. They're the ones following suit, not the other way around. Hell, even Windows Phones have been ahead of iPhones for years.

My last WP phone was garbage and even it had features the iPhone 7 doesn't have, like an idle-screen display, wireless charging, NFC, oh yeah and a headphone jack

Hell, WP7 phones had automatic wireless music syncing that Just Worked before they broke the music experience for WP8

MicroSD cards in phones are a great way to add more storage without paying twice as much for a higher tier of iPhone which includes more storage and nothing else

And they're reusable from phone to phone too!

It doesn't even matter what for. Extrapolating from a lack of a need on your end to a universal lack of said need is unnecessarily narrow-minded.
