Grimey Drawer

can't think of the last time I used the headphone jack on my phone. Everything is BT-out.

also : the mangling of your username by the forum software is the only reason I'm quoting your post

I don't use headphones as I am not a child. Plus it'll have a stereo so I don't need headphones IMO

It doesn't, it just plays a pre-recorded message before every song berating you for not using their new wireless headphones.

No headphone jack but they include a dongle with the phone. $9 for a new one if you lose it. The dongle plugs into the same power port as the charger so you can't charge your phone and use headphones at the same time.

But don't worry, for $169 you can get wireless earbud things (I loving hate earbuds and earpods and whatever) which have a 5 hr battery life.

They will ofc but their sales numbers are in decline and they're trying reeeaal hard to break into the China market and kinda failing at it beyond the rich assholes there who buy like 20 of them to impress girls.

A lot of big institutions are dumping their AAPL holdings as well, whatever that's worth.

So they're doing what my HTC Fuze had going on back in 2008? At least the Fuze could still connect the charger while the dongle was plugged in. :sad:

My gf's iPhone works with her car? Is it really some weirdo Bluetooth that is hit or miss on certain devices?

Or is that a new feature of the 7
