The bokeh is definitely a software effect - it's demonstrated in the keynote.
thanks. i didn't watch the keynote.
i assumed we'd have to wait for the feature to be used by more people in order to figure out what was happening but i suppose it's already been publicly outlined by the execs : )

Nice advertising for stereo:
That's how it should be. But I'm sure stereo speakers both firing out of the bottom is the same. Lol.
They should have put another speaker on top for real stereo imagine. You know...like their ad.
the other speaker is at the top though, right?
from what i've read so far, there's a speaker at the bottom as in the past models then the second speaker is the earpiece speaker.

I get the space, but a battery takes up space inside too, but it isn't a valid reason to take it out. And I will point out again, I had an android that had an open headphone jack and was water resistant, it is just that Apple is too lazy to figure out how Sony did it, and is too obsessed with thinness.
is the 7 thinner than the 6?
idk, i don't really think apple removed the miniphone jack in order to make the 7 thinner than earlier models.
We can't even use them on our Apple computers. I could get Apple trying to force people to wireless a little before the technology is to the point where it is as good or better than wired, but if they wanted to do that then they should have included wireless headphones in the box instead of trying to charge over $150 for them.
i don't think they jumped the gun any earlier than they've done in the past.
for me personally at least, i've been using wireless headphones and wirelessly connecting to the sound system in my workshop for over a year now.. and i'd
definitely say my current headphones are (much) better than anything wired i've used in the past (albeit- i spent nearly $300 on my headphones ; ) )
again, for me personally, it's like when apple removed the superdrive.. it didn't matter to me at all because i didn't use the thing anyway and had already moved on to future (now current) methods prior to them removing it.
idk, did apple make the move early? sure, i suppose i can agree with that even though it's not affecting me any.. but when you look at apple's past early moves, i think you'll find in the vast majority of instances, it's worked out just fine and even the hardcore_est of hanger-ons adapted to the move and no longer sit around complaining about it.. in other words, while i understand people getting worked up about the removal of the 3.5mm jack today, it will likely be a non-issue in a relatively short amount of time.
it's not a matter of if you'll change your mind.. it's a matter of when.
if you want to make it out that apple is forcing you to change your mind then so be it.. in a round about way, that is what they're doing.. but i don't particularly agree with the negative connotation of 'force' as you're using it.. some (or most even) people are resistant to change in which case, sure, they'll need some prodding to keep somewhat current with technology changes.
