Perhaps they'll finally produce a waterproof iPhone with a superior battery life with that wonderful curved Samsung glass. Or not.

 

[mrs quoad]

Tuppence ha'penny says it'll have an FM chiplol. Lol.

 

[Ranbay]

So new Ipads coming out today or what?

just went to check price before going to buy one and nothing on the page price wise...

 

[Ranbay]

[Kid_Eternity]

No head phone jack!!! How will the first world survive this disaster?!?

I think most Samsung owners would settle for a phone that doesn't blow up.

[Ranbay]

went in to get a pro today, was told best hold out till tomorrow and now there £50 more... FFS

I imagine they'll survive by not buying an iPhone. This will go down as huge mistake by Apple.

 

[Ranbay]

it comes with an adaptar for you to plug 3.5 jack into the bottom, so it will be fine.

And how shit is that?

One of the best things about Apple products is their design. Remember this?

Now you have the Mac pro which is a machine that looks pretty until you need more grunt then you have to add loads of external adaptors to it to attach additional video cards, etc. The Macbook with only one port...leading to this:

then the super thin iPhones, causing this monstrosity

And now this, for headphones?!

:confused: :thumbsdown:

I didn't watch the Apple Event live but is it true that these new 'Airpods' are going to sell for $160?

Yes.

 

[Ranbay]

but they come free with the new Iphone 7 i think? well not free but in the box

No. You get the wired lightning connector ones in the box. The wireless ones are an (expensive) option.

Not the wireless ones.

 

[mwgdrwg]

No. You get the wired ones, which have a lightning connector. So you can't listen to music and charge your phone at the same time, and have to use a fiddly adapter with your existing headphones

Fucking hell that's stupid. Presumably there'll be an optional adapter with headphone and lightning slot, and it will cost about £60. I was thinking about getting a new iPhone, current one being 6 years old, but they're bloody expensive and the arrogance of Apple is breathtaking. No-one wants your shitty, expensive headphones; they're either content with shitty, cheap headphones or want expensive ones that are actually good.

“The analogue headphone jack has been with us for a very long time. But the reason to move on is courage. The courage to move on and do something new that betters all of us.”

I'll just leave this here. Thanks Tim.

 

[Spymaster]

Dunno what all the fuss is about. Just keep the adapter (supplied) on the end of your headphone cable. I don't think I've ever needed to listen to music via plugged in headphones whilst charging my phone, and could certainly live without tunes for the 40 minutes it takes to charge. Everyone else will do it soon.

 

[Reiabuzz]

Am I the only one who actually finds their headphones in their bag by scrambling around for the wire?

Included in the box - Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter

£9 if you buy a spare.

 

[twentythreedom]

Quite good on the headphones issue

Earth to Apple: wireless headphones are like a tampon without a string

I'll lay money it won't be.

I meant an adapter that allows you to use headphones and the lighting jack at the same time.

I thought they made a mistake saying this, his second point about space being a premium was a far stronger one.

[Cid]

On the other hand I will be really happy if it works with my iPad (4th gen) because the headphone jack isn't working properly and it would probably be ludicrously expensive to replace.

 

[mhendo]

I'll just leave this here. Thanks Tim.

It wasn't actually Tim who said this; it was Apple vice president Phil Schiller.

What a fucking knob.

 

[Fez909]

Android was first, again

Confirmed: T-Mobile G1 has no 3.5mm headphone jack
