Take up shelter in the base of my spine

This move would make more sense to me if there was a set of airpods bundled with the iphone 7. Stand by your vision of the future Apple and put the solution in customer's hands. It's what stebe would have wanted.

they did that though

their vision of the future is 'wireless' so bundle us some wireless headphones Apple.

it would wipe out almost every criticism of this decision.

Iirc the old HTC Mogul had a hosed up port that required a dongle to plug headphones in. It was rightly poo poo on.

I work until 4 or 4:30 and then I'm out and about and frequently not home until 8:30 or 9:00 PM. I guess if you go right home after work every day you may not understand why someone would want to charge and listen to music at the same time.

I am also married and my wife works about a five minute walk from my office and we frequently do things after work together. Very cool that you can't comprehend a situation like that and think everyone lives your life, though.

optical drives were very important for a while when a CD was 700 MB and you had a PowerMac 6100 with a 250MB hard drive. by the time they were phased out you could store several CDs on your multiple gigabyte hard drive in your laptop and get by if you wanted.

the 3.5mm jack is still useful and I don't want to charge things or use a dumb lightning headphone that my literally $4000 brand new mac will not even use without a dongle. everyone I know who has an iPhone 7 now complains about carrying two sets of headphones when they travel. this is dumb beyond belief. eliminating the headphone jack when even you, the headphone jack ditching company, can not release a proper wireless replacement product, is amazingly stupid and bad.

i can't even buy apple's vision of The Future here, they have not released the airpods, they either don't work right or they don't get the battery life or something, but they are not out yet. get it right if you are going to pull this stupid poo poo and ditch something everyone uses that works great.

I think the real deep down issue people have about the lack of the headphone jack is that the phone got jack poo poo in return for it.

taking out the optical drive gave about 170cm^3 of space which apple used to boost battery capacity into the "you can actually use this all day" region while also making the rmbp slimmer.

apple used the space they saved by taking out the headphone jack to give the phone a fake-clicky button.

the amount of time Tori spends defending his ability to physically tether himself to his desk for 8 hours a day would more than cover any time spent charging a Bluetooth headphone or the cognitive load of having to remember to charge it a couple times a week, and also the other benefits of Bluetooth including being able to move freely around a room while still charging your phone and listening to music and the same or superior audio quality

You're really going to some bizarre lengths to justify removing a feature hundreds of millions of people use every day.

yes and I do all of this with my headphones plugged in and my phone in my pocket. no one spins. if you need to get up and go for a walk and stretch, take out your headphones, go grab a coworker friend, and walk to the cafe and get a cucumber mint water or one of the many other infused waters available to you. whatever you do, don't sit in your cube and spin like a dork.

My office only has one type of infused water in the break room but it changes every day. I spin for a living.

Strawberry basil is the best infused water. Lemon infused water is bullshit it's barely perceptible and now there's pulp in my water. I just get the raspberry lemonade from the fancy coke machine.
