deep in my heart of hearts i hope that the actual iphone 7 announcement will show off a phone that does include a headphone jack and tim will use the announcement to demonstrate that they have committed to combating leaks and will use the recent spate of them as a way to root out leakers

the phone will still be too big with a very bad os but some dreams are just too big

it's nice to want things

It pains me to admit this, but I've come to the conclusion that Apple was right to drop the headphone jack from the iPhone 7. And while there may be some short-term pain from this change, the firm's ability to push forward is both notable and---God help me---even admirable.

lollll like gently caress imma pay $40/year to read paul's articles, but that lede is great.

those that aren't picky about their phone can get an iphone 7 today which reduces the risk of those people deciding to go get an android. meanwhile those who are so mentally committed to getting the new iphone to the point that they've already picked out a must-have color/storage combination aren't at much risk of not buying an iphone 7, and making them jump through hoops drives a narrative that the phone is in such demand that it is selling out which might cause more of the first group to decide to go check it out and get excited when it is in stock. guess which of those two groups tech journalists are.
