iPhone 7 Hands-On: Improved Cameras, New Jet Black Color, AirPods, No Headphone Jack, and More

The Haptic feedback trackpad on the MacBook Pro is great, I'm dismayed that they could have messed it up on the iPhone. Awaiting more impressions on this with an uneasy feeling.
Likely it just needs getting used too, but the transition to haptic models on the MBP was seamless.

No, the EarPods look pretty damn decent even for first gen but don't get me wrong they have still got a long way to go. The industry needs this shove. Remember how USB storage took off as soon as Apple dumped the floppy drive?
Ever since the "unapologetically plastic" 5c, the Ive product-design videos just sound like parodies of Ive videos.
He's become his own caricature.
As strange as it sounds, I bet a lot less people would buy the iPhone 7 if they didn't include a lightning to 3.5mm adapter in the box. It is cool that the adapter only costs $9 though. I was expecting it to be a bit more expensive...
Assuming the frame is metal for the matte and it's textured then anodized, it shouldn't show fingerprints unless you had very oily fingers. It could be worse. They could make a phone with stainless steel. That picks up acids and oils in your fingers like a magnet.
Nilay has really turned his whining up to 11 in the lead up to this whole launch.
I doubt it, except if it will cost like 2000$. Ceramic Apple Watch costs 1249$.
You're going to lose those AirPods almost immediately. I hope they sell single-ear replacements.
The whole idea is that the part that hangs down is a microwave, for use as a compact Bluetooth headset for calls.
Just watch the Video of "TheVerge" and see how dirty it looks in this video. I believe the matte will barely show any fingerprints.
Do you work for apple ? Or just offering the cheerleading for free in regards to the removal of the headphone jack?
Apple lightning cables are $20 and do not take much abuse. I can buy a much more durable cable for half the price and the cable will last twice as long. Hell yeah Apple cables are overpriced.
At $9 I bet people at Apple are complaining that they are practically giving away the cable. I thought for sure the cable would be over $30. Why? Because Apple can.
No. I remember how CD-ROMs took off then. Everything else was still very expensive for many years to come.
But I also don't remember them announcing CD-Rs on the exact same day the iMac lost the floppy drive. They'd been around and people knew what they were. In other words, there was overlap between the old and the new. (Kind of like how Apple transitioned from PowerPC to Intel. Remember that? How they took a year to do it?)
Not like this where they just went and did it all at once. Why? Why not make Airbuds available last year with the iPhone 6S? Would that have made too much sense? Apparently!
Bingo, and it didn't take really oily hands. Surprisingly the jet black sheen hides finger prints much better. I'm staring at my Mac Pro6,1 which is very similar if not the same and it doesn't show finger prints when touched. The matte finish did quite often, however the edges of the jet black might show more wear.
Will iPhone 8 have the industry standard USB-C, then they can sell a USB-C to lightning adaptor to all the people who buy lightning headphones over the next 12 months 
My body is ready
for Galaxy S7 Edge ha ha
But seriously.. Fastest chip on a smartphone? Samsung should add Tizen to S7 just to prove how fast Samsung Exynos 8890 really is! Will destroy the iPhone 7 in terms of speed
If you want prove? wait until you see a comparison between Gears S3 vs Apple Watch, the Samsung single core will destroy the dual core from theWatch, Intel is the king PC cpu while Samsung is the king in mobile CPUs
Icon X is so much better in every aspect than the AirPods and Gear S3 Frontier will destroy the
I just told my sister who owns a Galaxy S7..look the iPhone 7 just came out and your camera from the S7 it's better than the one from the iPhone 7 xD! I got admit they added some intersting stuff to the camera but when it comes to photo quality..the S7 wins!

FYI. In case you missed. There were multiple reports that the iPhone 6S was fast then the S7 and S7 Note. With iPhone 7 being even faster, we'll let just say it's good thing the S7 has dust resistence to help deal with the dust of being left behind Apple. Again.
I thought Phil said Black and Jet Black are only available for 128 and 256 GB models?
He doesn't touch the iPhone back aside from holding the edges. Believe me, the matte will show more fingerprints on the back over time while the jet black "Mac Pro" finish will not.
I'm really upset by the headphone jack removal. This just looks like a push to get folks to buy their new Airpods and new Beats headphones. "Courageous"? Pfft.
Such a lousy move at this point in time.
