No reason for me to false advertise....I usually have every current device......so try again lol
???? Pathetic stuff my friend. Back to whence you came, troll. I'm done here.
The first one is free. It comes in the box with the iPhone. There's no kitten in the box, so if you want a free kitten, you'll have to look elsewhere. Apple apparently doesn't believe in free kittens, but they will give you a free adapter.

Simple. Charge your phone in the daytime. That leaves the night free for listening to music with your lightning headphones.
Moving from the 30 pin to lighting was a solid downgrade. We lost analog video output in exchange for reversibility. Same exact speed.
But it doesn't beat all android devices.
So it doesn't even get that one across the board.
I absolutely HATE that guy.
Ever since he threw that Twitter fit & bullied a like 70 year old man for good-naturedly ribbing him about his silly little faux punk leather bracelet...
Nilay Patel is NOT a good person. It irritated me even seeing his face in the crowd.
This is one of those things that you need to see in person to decide whether you really like it. The camera can be deceptive.

The Macs may be waiting for Kaby Lake, since Skylake is very buggy.
The drivers are buggy...not the processor itself...after several updates most skylake devices are stable
the fallacy of moving the DAC to an external device is the belief that it will be inherently "better."
until somebody provides a frequency chart analysis of a recording showing improved accuracy by moving to an external DAC, its just marketing buzzwords. The fact is the amount of space and battery life you have to work with in wireless headphones, chances are you're still going to end up with the same general spec of DACs regardless of where it exists in the chain. the signal is still being amplified, its still shoved out through a physical transducer. 36mm or 36 inches of travel distance from DAC to speaker really makes little difference once its amplified.
5 hours before I have to charge my headphones? I feel like we've travelled back to 1995, except now its the headphones instead of the discman dying cuz i just listened to three albums back to back.
it really doesnt affect me either way - the ipad is the only remaining apple product that fits my needs, so its irrelevant. but this insane drive to control every last aspect of the UX just reminds me of the XKCD comic about standards. I'm sure we'll all be going insane again in a few years when they come out with Lightning 2 and everybody has to buy new stuff.

I thought the user stated that it wasn't free.
It should be free if you buy the iPhone 7 but I guess you are lacked of common sense.
Wow... You're really too far gone. But I'll reply anyways. (not surprised to see Montreal..)
"no 3D touch (nothing)"
Yes. there is. But it's useless anyways so..
"Camera was a wash UNTIL THIS YEAR"
It's been a little more than a year. Maybe about since S6 or Note 5.
"slow as ass SOC"
It's been pretty hard to call for the last while. No where near as one sided as you're claiming.
"AMOLED before 18 months ago was ****"
Pretty sure I said "more than a year. In your words, how long is 18 months exactly?
This is the best they can do more than a year later for the next full year phone. That will make it 3 years next refresh.
"Bezels Who cares it's a personal preference"
You don't care how massive your phone gets because of wasted space? Don't hog the koolaid..
"weight (it has less features, so less weight)"
The iPhone has been heaver. I know the iPhone has less features and Much smaller batteries. So shouldn't it be lighter?
"Multi-tasking!!"
You can now copy and paste from one app to another? Since when? Wow. The iPhone is amazing!!!
"Notification has been around for a long time."
For what? About a year. How many years has android had it?
"App selection is better"
I disagree. Lots of cutesy reinventing the wheel apps to appeal to the user base of iOS. Show me a replacement for no BS serious apps like Business Calendar on iOS. Or the many utilities that give me true control over my phone. Or the ability to set third party apps as default.. I can go on and on.
"Fluidity, there is no discussion here"
I was actually saying that iPhones are quite fluid. That was in the pros list. But they don't beat all android phones. So king no. Just quite good.
But then there are compromises for that.

Sort of the same as saying I choose to ignore and stay naive so don't bother trying to talk sense into me. Isn't it?
This is a bizarre, incomprehensible post
[doublepost=1473310744][/doublepost]
It's the opposite. He tried Android and switched to iPhone.

That's a joke right?
You can't really be that...

I'm sure that post is quite hard to understand for some apple users...
He tried how long ago? Now won't even consider hearing about it.
A wise person always considers all ways.
Which obviously extends to life without a 3.5mm port. I'm glad we found some common ground
So annoyed that you can't get the same features in the smaller foot print. Why do you do this Apple? People who like smaller phones don't like having the best camera??
Also just fill with a thicker battery and get rid of the camera bump. Being thick isn't a crime

Since when is visiting both camps and coming out with well informed opinion "staying naive"?
Good advice, I suggest you heed it. Make all the assumptions you like, yesterday or five years ago doesn't change the fact that mobile hardware running Android is inherently incapable of enjoying the same level of optimization as an iPhone running iOS.

£919 for the top end 7plus, £1500 for the ceramic case watch. Are these prices sustainable? I get that the watch is a move into fashion (increasingly so, given the modest functionality increases), but that kind of price for a phone? For me, just way too much for what.....faster performance and a nicer camera.
