Well, hell. I didn't even think about that. And it's a super complicated active cable, so there's not much chance of modifying an adapter to accept a charge cable alongside a 3.5mm plug.

On the other hand, I will be very surprised if no one has come out with a dual adapter within a year.
The high-gloss finish of the Jet Black iPhone 7 is
achieved through a precision nine-step anodization and
polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as
other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine
may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are
concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many
cases available to protect your iPhone.[1]

I think I'd go for the Black one instead.

I think there is an important art in recognizing signal over noise and being pragmatic when considering how to design a system. I think you're right about trust, but I would add in a focus on fundamentals/first principles over design.
Garmin Fenix 3 is round and a fantastic watch. Not going to appease the people looking for eye-candy but it is super functional. I use it for runs and biking, the GPS works well.
Only if you buy wireless headphones (have you heard about the AirPods?)
The Airpods aren't actually noise cancelling. A pity, I was watching out for that. The noise-cancelling they do is for the microphones, which is what you expect for any headset device.

I currently have a pair of Bose QC20 (their in-ear noise-cancelling earbuds). I'm pretty happy with them, but they were really expensive at $250. If Apple's were noise-cancelling and able to compete with Bose's tech (they're rated the best [1]), they'd be a deal.

But as it is, they're not.

Maybe a firmware update, maybe they're negotiating tech/patents with Bose, maybe the next iteration...

Who will carry that with them?
Digital wired headphones come with it. There is an adapter for analog.
I also think that that's the standard schedule.
One of Apple's core tenents is 'to hell with legacy'

Lightning headphones are a stop gap. The future is wireless.
It comes with EarPods with a lightening plug on the end that use the lightening port. They're also throwing in an adaptor so you can use older headphones in the lightening socket too. The only port the iPhone 7 has is a lightening port.
I think the case looks pretty small. Hard to tell from the videos but I'm hoping it's small enough that it's no big deal to put it in my pocket.
Don't most rhythm games have a latency calibration option? Rhythm games don't need low latency, only predictable latency.
I agree, the problem is social. To be more specific, the problem is that the corporate clout is too thick and the corporate social structure is broken. Running after the money stick, with total disregard for the person at the other end of the leash. Not purposefully evil but stupid and blind.

I think the social structure of the 'proletariat' is fine, though the institutions like the news that support it are being eroded due to changing technology and the corporate clout.
They ARE shipping a free adapter.

Edit: Looks like you wanted to say this, but made a typo.
Isn't this already happening? I got a tour from one of the techs at a major general store on how they track users "to enhance user experience". It's both impressive and terrifying. Using simple things like tracking the wireless signals on your smartphone they can see exactly when you pass or enter the store, which departments you visit and stay longest, etc. The system is even linked up to a camera at checkout so they have your picture linked to all other details they gathered.

In the country I live it's also very popular for every store to have their own plastic card you gather points on at every purchase (e.g. for discounts or freebies). This is an easy way of matching your purchases with all the other personal information they gather.
Why ADS-B instead of a transponder system for ships? e.g. AIS? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_identification_syste...

Hmm, maybe ADS-B systems are more compact...
The price of pot is tumbling in Colorado
Apple of all companies knows that a dongle isn't a viable long term solution for a problem like that. They included it to ease the transition, not as a replacement.
> they're noise-canceling

Where'd you get that from? That would be awesome if true.
Attach your headphones to the dongle and leave it there. If you have more than one set, I'm sure Anker will make these for $4.99 a piece and you can buy a bunch.
Not just an abstraction barrier, but also a working memory limit of maximum 7-8 objects at a time. We're limited in more than one way in how much we can understand.

If we ever discover AGI, I think we will begin a new discipline, called "AGI studies" where humans try to understand what it discovers, to keep up. But the hard part would be to develop the most efficient concepts in order to understand even what it has to teach us. How do you communicate with an intelligence vastly superior to yours? Maybe the AGI will also develop the concepts and language necessary to communicate its findings to us.
That's true, I didn't consider people exercising.
iWork on the web already had real-time collaboration, the Mac and iOS version didn't.
People carrying headphones around id imagine
Pebble Round fits this area very nicely. People are always kinda shocked when they hear it's a smartwatch.
The case is also the battery, which can last for 24 hours.

Both the airpods and the case can be charged together.
Betteridge's law is fumbling here: yes, perhaps they are. Big, old cities are full of ancient infrastructure that slips through the cracks. People depend on it, and nobody knows exactly where its networks are routed; then when it breaks, it's a big disaster.
In the keynote they said the included headphones are lightning.
Yeah. Apple is not incompetent as far as headphone design goes - the EarPods have a surprisingly good soundstage and are very well balanced. They're also very light and pretty comfortable for most people. They don't isolate, but isolation is not really the use-case IMHO.
It doesn't really matter if you agree with me or not. To say that Google inaction or non-communication is fair or good or OK is simply out of this world.

I specifically said in the article that it's not the takedown I had a problem with. But the total lack of support in solving the issues. If I'm not made aware of the rules, I can't fix anything. They specifically said I had to get back to the original complainant to get my app reinstated. That email address is a black hole. So there's nothing I can do.
It makes the old OpenGL/DirectX situation look great by comparison, doesn't it? Now there's three competing modern graphics APIs, and none works on every platform. At least OpenGL worked everywhere, if poorly.
Which doesn't even allow you to charge.

In any case even with a bundled adapter I feel that removing the jack is a pretty sketchy decision.
the price for heaven's sake... it's me or every year the new model gets almost 100 bucks more expensive the the previous one. We can expect a base price of 1000€ in 5 or 6 years.
Do you still believe in Santa?™
Just leave it connected to your headphones.
The included headphones are Lightning.
Water-resistant, not waterproof.

That said, the new home button sounds very interesting (I say that both as a developer and end-user), and the new camera will be a very welcome addition. And battery life improvement on top that? Perfect.

It is an iterative improvement for sure, but I don't see why that's a bad thing.
I actually already have one, and I enjoy it.
Yes. I am extremely happy with the beats solo 2 wireless. No surprise, that they are working well with an iPhone. As they support AAC over bluetooth, they offer quality audio - bluetooth headphones which don't do indeed sound bad on IOS devices.
But in seriousness, that's hardly a comprehensive feature comparison.
Metal was done [1] even before the Khronos Group issued a call to develop a next-gen low-overhead API [2] which became Vulkan. It helped that AMD basically donated Mantle so they were able to turn around in a year. Apple understandably was in no appetite to use DX12, and then-AMD-specific Mantle could not be construed as any more than a tech demo and/or an attempt to eke out more performance from their cards.

I seriously question the quality of the DAC in that dongle.
I've heard of people living in really high humidity areas activating the water sensors in their phones and being refused warranty replacements.
I expect iPads will still have the headphone jack. It doesn't have the space issues of the phone.
That is a great term. I believe it can also be extended to devices like modern computers. They are now complex enough that no single person can understand all the parts of the system. Now I have a word for it, thanks!
A $40-$50 (2/5 stars on Apple.com) adapter to cover that use case. A $10-$20(?) dongle to cover the using normal headphone use case. Pass.
Nope.

For that matter, what about charging while using headphones?
It depends on the headset. Of course with an audio jack the other end would have to be doing something very wrong to induce a comparable lag.
I'm curious if this spells the end for the headphone jack in the industry. Now that's gone from the iPhone, should we expect other phones to drop it? What about tablets and laptops?
Eventually I would like to write a C Compiler with it
I suspected as much :) They look cool.

I'm a Garmin guy.
I've been using these for the past year while riding and they've worked well for me:

It's only smart on one hand (for the reasons you mention). On the other hand users will be pissed off at losing the convenience (yes, convenience) of plug and play headphones, along with the many other reasons why wired > wireless.

It may be a smart move in the end, but it's not obviously so at this point.
What's the feature list that matters for you?
Seems like the new thing is if you drop it in the pool/bathtub/toilet (and quickly retrieve it) you should be fine
If someone shady was MITMing your traffic, they could just block access to the API. If you wanted to do the checks before loading each URL, it would make things very slow.
I never got to the point you are at because I could never get over the USB jack.

It took 30 fucking years and a lot of blood sweat and tears but finally finally there is a global, universal, cheap and simple charging standard that just works. You can find a USB port anywhere and there are extra cables everywhere and life is just slightly better all around.

Except for Apple.
The new watches are swim resistant. The phones aren't.
iPhone 7 pre-orders start on September 9 and ships on September 16
The high resale value of Apple products means you only pay full price for the first one.
I'm against the move, but undoubtedly we'll soon have a breakout device like the MacBook has for having HDMI, audio in/out, and power all through the one port.
Well, at least the lack of a headphone jack might prevent some people from using a selfie stick.
Every Lightning connector is already active. Adding a DAC probably doesn't increase the cost per each by much.
Apple headphones are super poor quality as well. I can get some Chinese ones off Amazon for $10 that absolutely destroy the Apple ones.
A pilot study on this was published pretty recently with some success in terms of passing the mother's microbiome on to the infant, though that's still a long way off from determining the benefits.

http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/v22/n3/full/nm.4039.html
That's convenient...
That's not a flash video.
Because the focal length (not the 35mm equivalent) is very short due to the small sensor on the phone.
The phone has a pretty good microphone. It should be able to adjust latency by having you hold an ear bud up to the mic.
This is a problem also for phone conferences.

Bluetooth is ok in general, but I hate to have one more battery to keep an eye on.

Macbook, iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods. That's already three different charging mechanisms for the devices you are likely to carry when traveling.

I would be very happy if they could even just add one extra USB port to Macbook USB-C charger so that you could charge the laptop and phone with the same charger.
This is huge. With Hack Club (https://github.com/hackclub/hackclub) we get a fair amount of PRs from beginners that have one or two minor issues.

We eventually gave up trying to get beginners to fix their pull requests and would manually pull their work to our personal forks, fix it, and then open up new pull requests.

Very excited to see this fixed.
This is the only reason why I haven't bought one. I don't want yet another device I have to charge daily or every other day.

Give me an iWatch with a battery that lasts a week or longer and I'm sold.
Bowling Alone - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling_Alone

This is basically the thesis of the book I just linked. Its probably one of the more important politically oriented pieces I've ever read.
Usually premium means better though.
Actually no. The same extension is OK in the Safari store by using "Cleaner - For Facebook". This is OK according to the law.

I didn't get the clear reasons my extension was taken down. It is a grand leap to what needs to be changed in order for the app to be compliant and in the same time not confusing existing users.
I won't even touch a USB ethernet dongle for laptops, let alone a dongle for my iphone.

The headphone connector is already pressed close to breaking point in my pocket, I can't have something even bigger sticking out of the phone in a tight pocket.
Another pro for wireless is that you get more space inside the phone, which means more room for chips, batteries, etc. And you have to consider things like headphone jack make it harder for your phone to be waterproof since that's one more place you have to figure out how to seal.
Maybe. Macbooks have more room for ports too, but they only put one port on those.
Apple Announces the Water Resistant iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
Not its excel models??
So use the adapter?
Good point. Assuming that was what I was saying is another type of fallacy.

I understand why you'd want to have intelligent kids. All else equal, it is clearly an advantage in some respects.

But personally, I see no correlation between happiness and intelligence (even inversely as you suggest). I just find it peculiar that this collectively interests us. I spend a lot of time as a parent trying to teach my children that personal happiness is independent of what other people tell you about yourself. And here we are telling children how great they are.

I dunno, life is weird :)
"We pay more than Uber" isn't really, or at least not purely, a negative ad. It's making a comparison, one that Gett comes away looking good in; and it's really pointing out something that Gett does better than Uber, not just something that Uber does poorly.

I think that's a pretty strong approach.
The article talks about services at Google being relatively stable and SREs there focusing on automating the instability away. A previous comment here also mentions that. In my experience, I find that to be not really true and more of a marketing image. The stress that being a Google SRE poses on family and relationships is huge and the job really is just like DevOps at other large service-based companies. The amount of code you write is orders of magnitude less compared to a software engineer since there is significant tooling available(Google being a mature company). Most of the work done is just operating those tools.

I had an SRE girlfriend who became an ex because of the stresses it placed on our relationship. Although I was the one who helped her land the job and was with her through previous hardships, there were just too many missed dates and too little respect for my time and other stress related issues that breaking up was the only way out for me to regain peace of mind.

Maybe you need a certain sort of person to handle that kind of stress.
Gross! :)
I'm still kind of dumbfounded that the 7 Plus has two cameras side-by-side and apparently ISN'T using them to capture 3D images. One would think this would be the best/most obvious application.

I would guess it depends if the position you're filling is made redundant by the merger.
until now they weren't officially water resistant. I'm guessing that'll make a difference if you have a warrenty repair and the phone has been wet..
iPhone headphones (ligtning), Android headphones (USB-C) and laptop/desktop or any old device (audio jack)

> So will someone out-Firefox Firefox and do what Chrome was to Safari for multi-processing? Take the rendering engine and put a new chrome on top of it?

I highly doubt it, as there's very little incentive to create a gecko based browser vs a webkit or chromium based browser.
Five hours battery life is a killer. I can't even get through a flight without having to charge my headphones -- a no go for me.

Reminds of this experiment in a subway station where they put a world class violinist with a stradivarius to play some of the most highly regarded violin music. The only person that stopped for this high art performance was one that recognized the musician.

The point being that high art can be right in front of us and we may miss it.

I am also a big fan of digital comics. I have an account of Comixology but I limit myself to the DRM-free books. Luckily, most of the comics I buy are from Image Comics and Fantagraphics; and they offer their books DRM-free.
Sensor size. Depth of field is based on (1) sensor size (you want big), (2) aperture (you want a low number, i.e. big opening), (3) focus distance to nearest subject, and (4) focal length (I think...).

So on a full frame sensor camera, shooting someone's portrait with an 80mm will give you very shallow DoF, on a sensor the size of an iPhone, it's probably close to infinite.

Edit: I don't think the above is technically exactly correct...Here's a good explanation: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/depth-of-field.ht...
Or, better yet, irssi in persistent tmux. Slack really can't compare to terminal irc clients in terms of usability and flexibility.
I'm not even upset about the headphone jack. Whatever. I'm really upset because you won't be able to do the following:

1.) Audio+GPS+Charging in non-Bluetooth Car.

2.) Listening to music at desk and still have enough charge for the Audio+GPS for the drive home.

3.) No more listening to music/audiobooks as I fall asleep because in the morning the iPhone won't be charged for my desk usage the next day unless I wake up and plug it back in during my sleep.

They can do whatever they want with the headphone jack, but pretending like we don't need to plug the phone in!! Thats daft.
Thanks for the comment. I have a sincere question for you, if you didn't have a great healthy family, and you had a shitty career or whatever, would you still be happy?
> Ryver (already at a disadvantage with a crappy name)

I only just realized it was supposed to be pronounced "river." I've been pronouncing it "rye-ver" in my head this whole time.

+1 to crappy name.
I don't even have these and I've already lost them.
> Can't charge while listening.

If you shell out for the AirPods, you can.

Though I definitely agree - I'm pretty sad to see the headphone jack go.
Amusingly, there was an article last year that made _exactly_ that comparison with WndProcs : https://bitquabit.com/post/the-more-things-change/ .

I wrote an answer on SO recently that describes some reasons for using Redux, which I'll paste here:

[quote]

Off the top of my head, a few advantages:

- A lot of the time your app's state tree could be considerably different than the UI tree

- Many components may need to access the same state and display it in different ways

- Hot reloading components will wipe out your existing component tree, including any state stored inside of them. Keeping the state separate from the UI tree allows the UI tree to be swapped out and reloaded with the updated components, while keeping your current development state the same.

And that's before getting to many of the commonly discussed benefits, such as predictable state updates, time travel debugging, improved testability, and centralized logic.

It's certainly true that you can write an entire application using nothing but React's component state (and Dan Abramov himself says that people often jump into Redux too early), but from my perspective Redux is absolutely worth it.

[/quote]

As for the switch statements: many of the patterns for Redux usage boil down to "serializability", which is a big deal because it enables scenarios like time travel debugging, persistence of app state, and more. I wrote some thoughts on that topic yesterday, at https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/518qdr/anyone_have... .

FYI, I maintain a big list of links to high-quality tutorials on React, Redux, and related topics, at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links . You may want to read through some of the Redux tutorials to get a better grasp on how it works and how the pieces fit together.
It's water resistant but water damage isn't covered under warranty? How can you have it both ways like that?

"Water resistance IP67 under IEC standard 60529. Liquid damage not covered under warranty."

How does one make such a big deal of it being water resistant (Product film: 1m 35s; "...to make this the first water resistant iPhone") but not cover liquid damage under warranty?
I wonder what the loss rate of these will be?

As in, how many will fall out of ears to be lost, as they are not physically tethered to the wearer?

Feeling pretty disillusioned by another iPhone and
iOS update. The 3.5mm coupled with lightning instead of USB-C just look like obvious traps for lock in with no real gain (5hr of playback time?!)

iOS still continues its march of adding minor features that should be in regular OTA updates and packing them up with some serious marketing hype. There's barely any improvement here and most of the features are already well implemented in Android / Google Apps or Facebook Messenger.

Disappointing.
So Dell owns VMware now?
For me personally, the addition of GPS to the new Apple watch has got me interested. And the swim tracking mode looks good.

However I'm still happy with my Garmin Fenix 3 HR.
> Maybe the AGI will also develop the concepts and language necessary to communicate its findings to us.

It will, because without that, humans will just shut down the "machine that only speaks gibberish". Effectively communication with humans is a survival requirement.
