iphone sheeple. poor saps will be pissed when the 7s comes out in a couple of months. difference? colors and weight or something equally silly.
I think the removal of the headphone jack is going bite them in the ass, massively. Whatever, that's why I've never bought any of their bullshit products.

The camera part is really cool. What really stands out is it's able to shoot in RAW. The fact that they got rid of the push button home thingy and made it another stupid touch sensitive one is annoying though.
I want my tech to actually work. thus no Apple BS for me. :)

Mainly due to simplicity. Granted there are things I hate like the fact I can't just plug it into my comp and it reads it like a storage drive to swap media. As for the headphones jack, I got a set of bluetooth headphones from Amazon last year for like $30 and love them. I use them all the time and never had any issues with them. Hell one of the top rated ones are on sale right now on Amazon for like $25.00 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016Y8XJCW/
I can understand the need to remove it as not only did they save space removing the jack, but it's also easier to waterproof now and it eliminates all of the digital to analog circuity and need for software support.
Yeah, I don't understand the hate on removing the jack. Sucks for those of us that want HiFi earbuds on the go, but then again the DAC in the phone itself generally sucks anyway... May as well use a USB OTG DAC drive the headphones. Oh wait, Apple is retarded and can't use a standard USB connector....
What are people that use them in their car, that don't have a bluetooth deck, supposed to do?

I haven't done it yet, but Android is supposed to have this feature in their camera too. With my 6P, the camera is amazing, and the photo stitching is amazing too. Did some photosphere photos, some tall and some wide pano pictures, and the stitching is practically flawless. I'll have to share some later.Quote:

When it comes to the reasons why they did it. It doesn't look so incredibly thin that they wouldn't fit it. As for water proofing it, I'm sure you could seal it just fine. A short of the pins inside the jack won't really do any damage, just as long as the water doesn't get into the phone from there. Not like there is a ton of power being pushed through those pins.
I personally think Apple just did it to get in the news cycle a little longer, and have a reason to sell something else proprietary.
Unless BT quality was absolute shit before and I missed it, I don't see the bitch about BT headphones.
I have a set of Jam Transit BT headphones I got for my birthday awhile back. They were $50. Sound quality is damn good. I use them when I mow the yard and other stuff. I have another set I bought at FYE for $12 and sound quality is good too. They aren't as loud as the Jams, but I use them at work and if I break them, it's $12.
That being said, getting rid of the headphone jack is stupid. If my batteries die I can still plug my BT headphones in via an auxiliary cord to listen to music.
Apple just likes to stir the pot and it works well. They were one of the first to omit disc drives from their laptops and people said the same thing.
The signal is still analog at some point, any way you slice it. You will have an amp and DAC in both cases, 3.5mm or wireless. The amp and DAC just move from in the phone, to being a part of the headphone. So either way the signal is analog at some point.Quote:

F**k apple.
Bluetooth has never worked well for me for playing music. It's always quiet, flat, and doesn't sound good to me. Popping in the audio cable is instantly double the volume and the bass is back. Bluetooth just only works for voice calls.Quote:

I have a low end set, the HD202's and they are ok.Quote:

No political points brought up, sue me.
I always use bluetooth to connect my phone for music in the car and the quality is excellent. But I have a Pioneer AVH-X2600BT head unit so it was kinda designed for playing music through bluetooth.
I actually know a story about this. Maybe not this location in particular, but I know of a driver that took off with a forklift in the back of the truck.
Long story short, driver backed into dock, before he got out of his truck employee opened back door and pulled forklift onto truck. He was informed by another driver of his company that he was to go elsewhere and pick something up and that driver was doing the pick up there, so he just pulled out with the forklift and driver still in the trailer of his truck....
Yep. Semi drivers can be go full retard quite frequently, imho.Quote:
