Here's an interesting collection of iPhone 7 review snippets mentioning the lack of a headphone jack.

But....I thought it was just us musicians that would miss it?????

The 'BIG' question here is if the lightningport(s) accept the CCK3?
† Supports one Lightning Audio device and one charger only. I see I'm late to the party but the existence of this adaptor sure doesn't feel like the right move lol.
More packet loss ( need to send the lost bits again) and more getting the bits in the right order?
Well, I just saw an article on reuters that the iPhone 7 is sold out worldwide, so what do I know? I still don't think it's a good idea but I will fully disclose that I am not a multi billion dollar Company and have no business mind.
It always sells out as they keep the release stock low and sounds good. The test will come in 6 months time when they compare the sales figure to other major releases, and if this has a knock-on effect on their other device sales.
“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby” -H.L. Mencken
Opium for the people
Come on, no conspiracy theories. let's wait for the real numbers.
That's not a theory, they always have low stock on release, that's why there's always a big scrabble and long waiting lists.
Forgive me if this has already been mentioned (already 224 comments) but it looks like removing the headphone jack may have allowed for increased battery life.

Can't see where in the article it credits extra battery life to the headphone jack being removed?
lol.......
Spot on! Soon apple will be selling a 'neck-band' for them, similar to the wrist-band that they sell for the AppleTV-Remote
Connect them to nipple piercings and turn up the volume
Have to see the stats on this, in good time, but you've got the batteries in the AirPods now, so more harmful junk, heading for landfill, probably a third world problem.
Can be fixed easily
No worries, my post was only semi serious. I think that the reality is that most people will not really care and its only a few that will. I do use the headphone jack on my ios devices and have no issues with the converters, etc, but I've become much less concerned with things like that as time has gone on. It's so hard (not impossible) to actually get a bad sound now that much more focus can just be on improving songwriting, arranging, etc.
Not one person has really cared that I mixed my album on auria or that we get better drum sounds now that our friend, who is a full time audio guy, took over the engineering and mixing. But they have commented as to whether or not they like the song.
Video game console manufacturers do the same thing. The old 'can't keep up with demand' shtick.
While we're semi off topic, I wish I would stop getting emails about one day only sales on plugins,programs, memberships,etc that are the and price every day (here's looking at you Harrison mixbus...).
Marketing is wonderful, huh?
And yes, time to unsubscribe to some things.
PS, the people behind mixbus are cool people, it's just that it's the same price every day, none of it is the last chance....
Back to topic
Guys guys guys. It's not that its wireless, it's the wireless protocol that matters. Bluetooth is designed to be low power and low cost. It's the bottom of of the network protocols, but also why a Bluetooth earpiece weighs a fraction of an ounce.
Bluetooth 4 spec is 25Megabit per second.
The 120$ Asus 802.11ac wireless router I own is 1167Mbps.
The Cat6 wired machines connected to the same router are Gigabit per second.
And we are talking about two different things. Speakers work on analog variations in voltage. There will always be copper involved in this process.
Since the advent of CD players, I.e. audio data stored digitally, the critical element is the digital to analog converter. These are chip sets with low voltage ins and higher voltage outs that feed an amplifier. At some point that data HAS to be converted to voltage to drive the magnets in a speaker.
In terms of this discussion, it's about how and where the DAC takes place. In general, a headphone jack is directly connected to the DAC/amplifier (As is, I'm sure, the 1/8" lighting adapter)which is mounted on the same PCB as the CPU and connected by - oops - copper traces (the speed of which, while potentially close to constant, are under control of the bus controller chipset).
For Bluetooth, the cpu/os routes this to the Bluetooth network chipset, scales it to the bandwidth, transmits, and then the DAC in the headset/speaker converts to voltage which is sent to the speakers.
Two cans of worms - networking and pushing magnets.
And pardoning the post work V&T rant-
But WTF is the comparison to floppy discs? Storage has always been driven by cost, what's the most that can be manufactured for what consumers can pay. Computers are a new evolving technology. Audio reproduction not the same thing.
The first tin foil recording was in 1877. The first loudspeakers driven by vacuum tubes were prior to the first world war. Pushing voltage into a speaker magnet is a mature technology and imho comparing floppy discs to headphone jacks is like comparing wire recorders to line arrays. Apples to steak if you will. This "courage" thing - it just says they've optimized a shit network protocol to work between their own devices, but that ultimately the quality of the sound reproduction is up to whatever the consumer is willing to accept/spend on converting digital to analog in an external device.
By no means do I want to sound preachy, I'm clueless - but I do know there's no magic involved. Just years of talented geek's work and corporate boards of competing companies hammering out standards that their stockholders will accept. Whether it's 802.11 or Bluetooth or a fracking 1/8" trs, it's all the result of hundreds of man years of work so we can listen to music as we choose to. Calling it courage just sounds like disrespect.
Pardon the rant. - just been on my mind with the recent discussions
I'd really like to see the latency numbers of this.
Are they cooking something are is it move a long nothing to see here?
What happens when you hit the 4.5 hour mark on the earbuds? Do you get an annoying beep or chime every 30 sec. like my bluetooth speakers?
They recede into your ear canal and recharge off of your brain's synapses. Resistance is futile.
If so, can it be Link sync'd??
