My 3.5mm jacked headphones are even less of an inconvenience in this regard.

Also, what happens when the battery dies (permanently) on these? Just have to buy another pair?
Also for reading in bed.
Five hours with a brand new battery. After 365 power cycles expect a lot less.
What about photosynthesis?
My Moto G3 is waterproof and has a headphone jack. If Motorola can do it for under $200, there's no reason Apple can't do it on an iPhone.
The port is data and charge. So I recon it's only a matter of time before there's a split plug for charge and audio.
Our Ads saying positive things about Ryver are ignored. Why spend money on those?

And if the product sucked no one would use it which would be the ultimate slam against Ryver. But the opposite is true. Some Slack teams are converting and most because they like it better not just because it is free.

Millennials Have Discovered 'Going Out' Sucks
If you intend for your library to be used in both C and C++ then your doing yourself a favor by using C/C++ for the simple fact that this is marketing to C++ programmers that they can use the library who may not be aware that that is the case.

so at the bare minimum C/C++ will possibly increase your user base.

(edit)

You should not assume that C++ programmers are going to wade through your library code and rewrite your library with the proper signatures. You as the library writer should have done that and tested it, then advertised to prospective users that your library is ready for use with C++.
Anyone serious about making music on iOS already has an external audio interface. Not to say dropping the port is well timed, but it's not a major issue for most pro iOS musicians.
You put the headphones back in the case when you're not listening, and they charge. Do you frequently listen to your headphones for > 5 hours uninterrupted? I'm sure some people do but I bet it's pretty rare realistically.
I think that removing the headphone jack could be justified if they were moving to an open standard. But instead they're moving to Lightning.
Nice, I didn't realize they were working on that--I'll have to do some feature comparisons, but this seems like it might be a better fit.
The practice of tracking your location in a store by means of wifi and bluetooth connection signals has actually been deemed illegal by a judge in the Netherlands. There is some hope in legislation catching up with technology in that respect.
If you're spending $159 on wireless headphones for your iPhone, you're probably already the poster child for the first world and are thus entitled to complain about first world problems.
Silicon Valley sucks at training software engineers – and that’s a problem
Thanks! Had to take a look at this and just a ZZBop mentioned he got sentenced to prison, but as I understand not really because of bribing as that was just a cover up for himself.

Apparently it was Fallenius himself who in court told that the money he took from ABB was going to be used as a bribe, but the court did not agree and sentenced him for tax fraud instead.

I switched back to wired headphones after going through several (different) pairs of bluetooth headphones that could seem to cope with the sweat overload for more than a month or two before dying.

The cord is a bit of a pain, but the cost of the bluetooth headphones was more so!
Aren't Vulkan, Direct X 12 and Metal much closer than Direct X pre 12 and Open GL ever were? The three are derived (at least in philosophy) from AMD's Mantle, not like Direct X pre 12 and Open GL that are (or at least were) very different beast.

I only ever programmed with OpenGL 1.3 and 1.4, so my knowledge is not very up-to-date to say the least...
ipads are used pretty commonly in it.
It would be really convenient if they would just integrate phones into our right hands and foreheads.
If you don't know if it's false or not, you clearly don't have the data to judge it, hence you've got prejudices.

Fun fact: Most Spaniards I've met in UK are shocked by the "calling off sick" (after a night out) and low effort culture they've found in Britain. I personally think that's not true either, but tells me more about Spaniards than anything.

Truth is Spain is unproductive due to corruption. Also, you've got prejudices, like everyone else :-)

P.S.: I'm Spaniard and I consider myself lazy, hence why I got in IT (earn more with less effort). I run away from manual labour :-)
My computer belongs to my employer, my iPhone/iPod/whatever belongs to me. I think my employer would be a little pissed if I filled the 256GB SSD with nothing but my music.
The iPhone's Bluetooth 4 is capable of 24 Mbps. If that's not enough throughput for your music listening, I'm not sure what to tell you.
you mean like usb-c?
$9 actually.
Same. It reminds me of the "brassing" you see on well-used cameras that have a black finish over metal. The coating wears off in a distinctive way with heavy use.

Example: http://leicaphilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/BP-M3-5414...
I'm not defending the the removal of the headphone by any means, but you are unlikely to experience any lag with the lightning cable. It's just a pcm bytestream getting out of the phone into a dac in the headphones. The latency won't be any different than what already is.

If you are talking about their new wireless headphones, It will probably have some delay but probably not even close to bluetooth. They could just modulate that same bytestream to some ghz radio frequency without adding anything remotely as over engineered and cumbersome as a bluetooth stack. I'm pretty sure those airpods are not bluetooth compatible.
> Include on-call time in compensation...

I'm glad you brought this up - there's a quick conclusion to this conversation:

"On-call time compensation is part of your salary."
How waterproofing is novel if pretty much all competitors already did it?
"Teams like you describe are considered to be in "operational overload" and are actively dismantled by senior leadership.."
-In theory, maybe... But with the expectation to stay in said team for atleast a year or two before switching teams and the associated difficulty in actually doing it, I think it is a pretty bad postion for said SREs to be in.
You can do that with the lightning dock, it has a 3.5mm out and lightning input for power.
The camera bump is a huge wart on the design, but they kept that and did not make the phone thicker to compensate. I question this rationale.
Flash never worked well on mobile devices. So Apple never tried to implement it. Headphones worked fine with every mobile device in the world.
Instead of storing an action descriptor stack, you can also implement undo/redo by storing all past versions of the model on the server. I know surprisingly complex applications with large data sets that do this. The important point of course is that any large data should reside in separate immutable storage, so that the top-level model (which gets serialized for each action) remains as lightweight as possible.
The same way they use durable glass and don't cover broken glass under the warranty.
Still same unusable battery.
The Fierce, Forgotten Library Wars of the Ancient World
Yah, it does work well. I do a lot with my watch.

* Morning alarm clock (buzzes me instead of noise - key when I sleep with my kids)
* Heartrate tracking (all day long across multiple things - biking, walking, resting, etc)
* Sleep tracking
* Notifications (small part, but useful)
* Calorie burn
* Sunrise/sunset
* Temp outdoors
* And of course, date/time

I have a complication setup that delivers 6 stats quickly. Biggest feature for me. For quantifying my data, the watch has been really good for me. I'll prob go series 2 so I can go all in for water activities.

Looking forward in the future to measuring even more.
Perfect and Horrendous all in the same sentence.

Nice.
> No one gets MRSA unless they are in the hospital.

Completely untrue. I personally know of 2 incidences: My cousins child carries MRSA. He doesn't get symptoms, but the rest of the family has to be extra diligent about picking it up from him.

The second was a lady I worked with. She got what she thought was a spider bite on her upper leg, somewhat near the groin region. When it wasn't healing and looking worse, she went to the doctor. Turns out, it was MRSA. She had the same misconceptions as you, so she asked the doctor how she could have possibly gotten it. Turns out, in a miriad of ways, but judging by the location she probably had contact with it on her hands, and then touched her leg when she used the restroom. He suspected it got in through a small cut from shaving, actually. I know for a long while, she washed her hands both before and after using the toilet in public, and was on different antibiotics for some time.
Spatial reasoning test
Wide color is actually the one thing that sticks out as a quality-of-life improvement that might be worth it. Lack of 3.5mm is a very hard price to pay, though. I'll probably still wait and see what's coming for next year's 10th anniversary of the iPhone.
How do you get `netstat -s` information out of ss?
"wanted to go wireless for a jog"

I'd probably do the reverse WRT them falling out and getting lost.
Yea, that does suck.

Hopefully with the improved power features of the new CPU, the amount of time when you want to simultaneously listen and charge is reduced.
Nit: I think you are talking about the Jet Black color, not the Matte (regular) black.
The problem with cameras is that the limits are set by physics. The bigger your lens, the better the resolution. If only Apple could figure out a way to miniaturize visible light.
As a fan of the HL series, I don't need a revolution, I just want to finish the darn story.
I do that quite frequently. When I take a road trip, generally I have my phone plugged in, doing the navigation, and providing music. I use the headphone jack to connect to my car's audio system (no Bluetooth) and a 12V to USB adapter for power.
Just my view but I do it daily while at work.
I won't be buying the new iPhone but I thinks removing the headphone jack seems like an extremely small problem.

The main issue seems to be that you now can't charge and listen to music at the same time. How often do you actually do that? In the past 5 years I have probably done that once.

For those of you who do think it is an inconvenience, I bet there will be a product on the market in 2 weeks that eliminates this problem.
Indeed, wonderful stuff.
Either way, I think it's kinda odd how "Think Different" has evolved (and is a footnote) after 100 million devices have shipped.
You could always use wireless headphones instead - Apple's or someone else's.
Apple Pay is coming to Japan with support for Transit payments next month
The battery in my jaws neckband earphones should last 13 hours.

Btw a neckband should have been the ideal form factor for this - comfortable, great battery life, doesn't require expensive tech like earpods , hard to lose, buttons.
I think the idea is that you aren't going to listen to more than 5 hours straight - so you put them back in the case in between and they get recharged while in the case, in your pocket. Then you plug in the case at night along with your phone and watch.

If you want to listen to 6+ hours of audio straight, then you'll have to use something else.

Making people get into the habit of always putting them back into the case when not in use should also reduce the likelihood of loosing them.
I wonder why they removed the 3d touch?
edit: I just saw the video...its still there. Looks like it is a default feature now. My bad.
2.4Ghz is super congested. 802.11g is. Bluetooth is. Even your microwave is on 2.4GHz. If everybody starts to use Bluetooth headphones all the time, I fear it's gonna make it totally unusable.
I break my screen far too often not to use a case with a raised edge, so it can't survive a fall. I'm too clumsy to not have one. Nothing to do with jewelry.
I had a 20$ water resistant portable tape player in the 90s with many more holes, buttons and mechanical parts than the iPhone and I could dunk it in water no trouble.

Edit: More like in the 80s.
I use (and keep) my headphones for years and I am an audiophile. This is a non-starter for me as well. I don't want to buy new $200 headphones after Apple inevitably obsoletes lighting and Bluetooth leaves a lot to be desired in terms of lag, pairing, charging, and audio quality.
What, so now you have to charge the selfie stick? How convenient...
Were you given early access to Apple's "wireless" AirBuds?
Good luck with that line of thought, few people want to be treated like a baby.
I was not aware people were using mobile phone apps for live performances (or any serious music production actually). Laptops are common, but using an actual iPhone for a live performance seems unusual. Is this really a common thing? Unless you are referring to playing music during a party or something? I guess I'm out of touch, lol.
The AirPods do look incredibly easy to lose.

Perhaps Apple could sell some kind of wire to attach to the AirPods to keep them safe. The other end of the safety wire could plug into the phone's lightning port, for extra safety.
I just recently bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019RVZ138/ref=oh_aui_deta...

It was on sale, so it was cheaper than what you see there.

I have pretty good experiences with it so far. It would also solve your rental car problem!
I guess Apple's solution is to always buy more stuff. I could easily see "needing" to now have three docks and 2 adapters. One dock at home office to listen/charge when working at home all day, one for work office for same reason and one in the car for long road trips / commuting (no BT in my car, just aux). Maybe I could get away with one adapter if I leave it connected to my headphones... But I can't be expected to reasonable carry around docks with me or even to consistently remember them when I hop into the car. I already know it would be a matter of time before winding up in a situation where I would not have an adapter on me, or needing to charge. Basically this is an anti-consumer move, there is zero benefit to consumers and actually makes everyone's lives more inconvenient.

It's strange because I don't need any of this stuff right now with my iPhone 6+, it was a solved problem. Never before, after a new Apple release have I felt that what I have now is more desirable than the newer version.
For small tweaks, this is great. I have been wanting this for years. Oh yessss
Some first and second generation DCinema projectors are even 2K, these can still be found in operation. No, you probably won't notice... ;)
That's not the consumer's problem. Perhaps the parent is a total minority, I don't know, but a round face is more appealing to me as well. That said, I prefer 'real' watches, so I'm not buying one either way.
Cool - more dongles, adaptors + what not to carry around and lose and then pay apple another $40 for each time. I say this writing on my Thunderbolt display that has since been rendered obsolete if I ever want a new macbook
Bah, I could tell the exact same stories about middle Europe and northern Europe.
The reason for the lack of 3D is probably that the two cameras have different lenses. Once is wide angle the other is telephoto.
Sony announces PlayStation 4 Pro with 4K and HDR output
The footnote says that it requires an iCloud account.

Are these even Bluetooth? Maybe they always remain connected to your iPhone, and the other devices stream to the iPhone first.
Seriously? Apple chargers are terrible in my experience... They rarely last more than 18 months. No other charger I've used has had anything close to this failure rate (I'm a hobbyist audio engineer, and I'm _very_ particular about treating cables well).

The other frustrating thing is that they aren't worth repairing. The overly clever coaxial cable design makes repairing a fray more hassle than it's worth.
woop, a fellow aggie! feel free to email me if you have any questions, i want to make the post as clear as possible
Siri, Apple Watch Unlocking, and More Comes with MacOS Sierra on Sept 20th
The watch notifications replace the vibration of the phone in my pocket.

With the watch I don't take out my phone to see what the vibration is for and then most likely getting lost in the phone, surfing etc.
thank you for your suggestions, LOI can certainly help with raising money, I'll focus on making a better tested MVP and demo it to potential customers and get LOI.

Here's an example with the metaphor where marketing is not zero-sum:

1) Person A makes a crappy bandage (Y units of quality) with X units of budget and markets with 9X units of budget

2) Person B makes a decent bandage (5Y units of quality) with 5X units of budget.

If person B were to also market the bandage with 5X units of budget, they will take a larger fraction of person A's market share than if they don't, thus providing more value to people. Yes you can argue that if person A didn't exist, then they wouldn't need to spend this money and the bandage could be cheaper, but this is clearly an example where adding marginal marketing can be a net benefit to society.
3D Touch is still a feature.
The docks do this since years. You just plug in the lightning and the dock provides lightning out and audio out.

So an adapter is definitly possible.
Sony announces the Pro, a more powerful PlayStation 4 with a $399 price tag
>So a 50m certified thing can leak in if washed under your bathroom tap.

Perhaps for a very cheap watch, but if you're a diver you're not using a cheap 50m watch anyhow.
> I think I'm talented. I just don't actually do anything useful with my life.

mmh ... what a calm and measured response. and now I feel a bit bad for having responded so harsh - though honestly more tongue in cheek.

actually I can relate to what you said. also read calculus and algebra books as a teenager, wrote a book about JavaScript when I was fifteen, later studied math, most of my teachers in high school told me on a regular basis that I'm a genius and our gifted.

now, I wouldn't say that I didn't do anything useful with my life ... though nothing useful of the academic or technological kind. I rather lost respect for intelligence, the focus on IQ, status symbols and success in general. instead i try to become a happier and inspired person which brings something good to the world and into the life of the people surrounding me.
Wait another five minutes and a charge + headphone adapter will be available from a third party like Belkin.
I've tried different examples, buy never multiple in the same conversations, I like the idea of they generalizing it themselves.

This was the kind of advice I was looking for, things that I haven't thought of, thanks for your reply!
This should have been introduced to the iWorks suite a long time ago. They've lost whatever lead they had by ignoring iWorks for the past decade or more.
The only difference is on the bottom left they replaced the headphone hole with 6 speaker grill holes. Not sure why that's sleeker. https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/apple-l...
>> 2.) Listening to music at desk and still have enough charge for the Audio+GPS for the drive home.

If you're at a desk you probably have a computer. Why not listen on that? Most people are using streaming services so it's only a matter of logging into Spotify's website or iTunes and you have access to all your music.

>> 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.

I fall asleep to podcasts every night - I have never, ever had my phone plugged into a charger whilst doing that. The main reason is safety (I'm just not comfortably with a charging battery next to my head while I sleep). But the other reason is that it's totally unnecessary thanks to the sleep feature built in to the iPhone (in the clock app). I've go to bed with about 60% battery, wake up with around 40% and then connect it to my laptop when I get to work.
One word missing from this product page is "Bluetooth".

Do these use a proprietary wireless protocol that is only compatible with the iPhone?
On Android smartwatches, you're expected to develop for both square and round screens:

It would certainly be additional work for developers, but there's precedent for it.

There's air conditioned everywhere, not sure which Spain you've visited really.

On the other hand, it doesn't have to be ON all the time at like 19 degrees Celsius like in the US, where I carry a jacket around to put it on only when I'm inside a building :-)
Removing the jack removes a large hole from the side of the device. In future models we could see scratch-resistant casing made of ceramic or some sort of amorphous alloy.

I recall Apple having a patent on a manufacturing process to bond a small aluminum region around the headphone jack to a case made of something harder, so maybe the headphone jack was causing problems in advancing case materials?
There is an open standard; it's the analog headphone jack. </sarcasm>

But there is no 'other' open standard yet, although Intel and other vendors are pondering it [1].

This doesn't mean that HDMI or DisplayPort can't be shoehorned to do it and you can't carry those over the USB type-C plug, but they're meant for other things. This type of 'let's invent one that meets our needs slightly better than the 5 others' is what leads to standards proliferating (and I'll avoid linking the xkcd).

Does anyone else just dismiss articles starting with "Millenials..."? I feel like the media is terribly out of touch with todays young adults.
I'm sure some 3rd party will come out with a combined charging & audio adapter.
1.) Audio+GPS+Charging in non-Bluetooth Car.

Is your car older than 3 years? If not, what prevents you from listening to audio via USB?
Can you deploy another change that will show dead companies too?

If you think there is more interest in non-dead companies, you could add an extra filter/selection box.
That's what I think, too.

I'd imagine that, if price were at all a factor, you didn't buy an Edition.
> I view my time on Earth as one marked by civic and human engagement, where I want to share my ideas, bounce them off other people, strive to improve my community and the world, etc.

I respect that sentiment, and agree with it. However, I think that it's much harder to do what you're talking about online. I would go so far as to say that the tendency of the internet is to encourage the "hivemind" and other bad practices. See, e.g., the eternal September, endless takes on how to moderate forums, algorithmic content filtering, etc...

I think the internet works great for making transactions between total strangers possible. I can collaborate on an open-source project or buy some widget. But I think that to really connect with people or improve my community or to delve deep into ideas, IRL is where it's at.
A perfect solution, because there's no way in hell you'll ever want to take these into the bathroom. Tilt your head to the right and plop, you just dropped $75 in the toilet.
My problem with wireless headphones has always been two things:

1) Quality of sound. I can often hear artifacts from low bit-rate encoding.

2) Latency. Don't expect to use them in combination with a game or musical instrument attached to a computer.

Any word on if either of these problems have been solved?
That's a key benefit of this change. Ditch the legacy analog port that is wasting space. Allow consumers to use a DAC that meets their quality standards, be it a cheap one in the dongle, one built into headphones with a lightning connector, or an external / improved DAC dongle.
