They should include the air pods for free if they are REALLY pushing to wireless !
Probably the "push for wireless use" will gain traction in the future, but as you and many others already said, there are people that need to use their headphones AND charge their iPhone at the same time at this very moment, be it for music, job, travel or whatever reasons. Hell, I do it time and again with my iPhone SE (and used to do with my 5S AND my 4) in my desk.
IMHO, Apple could just have included the AirPods in the iPhone 7 box.. But this would never be their traditional business way.
BTW, on the light side, I think we'll face a lot of 10 or more pages discussions from now on, for every new adapter released![]()
