FlyerTon Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Launch event at 6pm today (7 Sep) Reports it will not have a headphone socket. Seriously, would you buy a phone without a physical headphone socket? https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-output-audio-from-your-iphone-7-without-a-headphone-jack/ http://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/iphone-7-release-date-pictures-8131852 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Are they supplying the lightning or bluetooth headphones with the phone? I wouldn't buy an iPhone anyway, they're just not for me. I wonder if Samsung/HTC/LG etc follow suit on the headphone jack thing. Hopefully not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerTon Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Apparently a lightning to 3.5mm adapter in the box, but the disadvantage is you can't charge your phone using that socket and listen with wired headphones at the same time, unless you get wireless headphones. Annoying when they started to seal phones up and you couldn't say carry a spare battery, now they appear to be ditching the 3.5" headphone jack? I've got one of the last Samsung phones were you can change the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with. I'm not too fussed by the removal of the headphone jack as I got a free pair of wireless headphones when I bought my MacBook through that student deal. Interested to see if they update the Apple Watch because it's a bit stale. I'd like to see it be more independent of the phone as it's a bit limited as things stand.

Lofarl Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think apples made a mistake. You need to convince people they don't need wired headphones. You do that by giving away Bluetooth headphones with your phones. Then after a few years get rid of the jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are.And I wouldn't be shocked if Android phones started to follow suit. Apple just have the bollocks to push through with it first. I'll likely buy a new iPhone in a few months time. I'm in no rush to replace my 6s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supplying Bluetooth headphones? All the reports say they are charging over £100.Apple are at it to see how far the dafties are happy to be ripped off.

kkineus Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 i got the phone yesterday, no fancy part for me as a Android fan switched from Sony. one problem you many come across is how to move data from the old phone to new iPhone 7. Here is a great data transfer tutorial for Android and iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
