5. No Headphone Jack?!
If you know anything about the iPhone 7, it probably has something to do with the with removal of the headphone jack, a decision useful for no one except Apple. Think about it: how many times have you almost dropped your phone onto the pavement but the headphone’s wire saved it just in time? And to think that that isn’t even the only problem.
Ditching the headphone jack means that you are now going to have to use wireless headphones, which are problematic (of course, you could use an adapter if you wanted to use wired headphones). They are expensive if you are going to get a good pair. They are also very easy to lose. The point is that your total expenditure on Apple products this year is more than likely to rise. Plus, you’re going to be annoyed AF when you can’t connect them.
And just when you thought we were finished discussing the headphone jack (or lack thereof), there’s more. Just consider all of the annoyances that come with Bluetooth headphones: first of all, they have to be charged. Most of us have already reached maximum charging capacity in our lives and really don’t need another piece of technology to keep tabs on. And, in the grand finale of why the iPhone 7 sucks (as it relates to the headphone jack problem), it is now impossible to charge your phone when non-wireless headphones are plugged into your device.
