Ondrej Holzman The big topic of the last months and undoubtedly the next will be that Apple in the new iPhones 7, he removed the much-expanded 3,5 mm jack for connecting headphones. But what is no less important for users is the fact that it will not be possible to charge the iPhone and have wired headphones connected at the same time. The iPhone 7 has only one Lightning port.
Although Phil Schiller made a big push during Wednesday's presentation for a shift to a wireless ecosystem where we'll rely less on cables and more on air transmission, there's one key feature Apple left out of the new iPhone 7: wireless charging.
While rival Samsung and other companies are already capable of wireless charging (in addition, much faster), Apple is still procrastinating. At the same time, due to its controversial decision to remove the 3,5 mm jack, it would be offered the most of all manufacturers.
You can have the new iPhone 7 connected either to a charger or to wired headphones. If your battery is low and you want to listen to music, you'll need to get wireless headphones. At the same time, it is common practice for many users to charge while listening to music.
Of course, even the reduction from Lightning to 3,5 mm jack, which Apple supplies with every iPhone 7, so that users can connect their existing headphones, does not solve the situation. The iPhone 7 has only one Lightning port, so the only solution to solve the aforementioned problem is the Lightning Dock.
Apple offers it in five colors, corresponding to iPhones, for 1 crowns and in addition to plugging in a Lightning cable and placing an iPhone in it, it also has an input for a 3,5 mm jack on the back.
Paradoxically, however, the original dock from Apple is only a kind of half-baked solution - you can plug headphones into it with a classic 3,5 mm jack, but if you operate only with the basic equipment of the new iPhone 7, you will only have wired headphones with Lightning in your hand, which are already in the dock you do not connect in any way. Charging and listening with such headphones at the same time remains impossible.
These are the same fears as when the Reton Mecbook was launched and look how many beautiful reductions there are :-) But I'm glad for it, the cables annoy me and maybe now the BT headphones will reach another level, so far it was worth nothing.
Yes, having another receiver right next to your head and dealing with the duration of the battery and headphones is exactly what most users want.
I kind of don't care what the majority wants :-) If someone is on the phone all day, it's worse than some BT in the head :-)
Let me elaborate a bit: http://bit.ly/2bTt9H2
HTC once tried something similar .. I had it and nothing much .. it was just a different connector
Well, it doesn't solve the situation that I see every now and then with young people, namely that they are watching a video, holding the phone wide in their hand while they have it in the charger. But I personally don't mind it at all. When I have my phone on the charger and listen to music, I always stream it somewhere. Either via apple TV or via Chromecast audio, which works great with Spotify.
I was out of the office all day recently. A few hours of train travel, music, reading, emails. Then some photo shoots, still talking, calls. Well, around noon 20% and I have another 6 hours of travel ahead of me to the next place. Very convenient for me when I plugged in the charger on the train and continued to listen to music.
I understand. It's a fact that if you have your phone in a power bank somewhere on a train or in a plane, it sucks too :(
It's easy, you buy an iPhone for 30 notes, Wireless Beats for 9 notes and a decent power bank with two USB ports, and you'll be able to charge both your mobile phone and headphones at the same time while traveling.
So instead of one cable from the PowerBank to the phone and another from the phone to the headphones, you will listen to music wirelessly, and two cables will lead from the Powerbank, one to the headphones and the other to the mobile phone.

The second option is to buy a better phone instead of an overpriced iPhone 7, for example a Samsung S7 Edge, or even better something with a 32-bit DAC Saber like the LG V20 and quality wired headphones, such as AKG instead of shitty Beats.
And after a year and a half with your Samsung, you will be able to forget about hotfixes and new versions of the system, and then you will walk around the world with a phone with a system that leaks like a colander.
You are right, I am selling MacBook, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV + TC & AirPort express. And I will get rid of this perfectly functional and interconnected complex just so that I can charge my phone without a reduction and at the same time listen through wired headphones. Thank you for showing me a new direction.
The new direction was shown by Tim Cook, not me you fool!
If you are a simpler person, then a lagging and stuck iPhone is enough for you.
Would you insult me live or can you only do it behind the keyboard? I don't care at all that the iPhone doesn't have an audio jack and others use BT headphones or lightning. Otherwise, it can be seen that you have no experience with Apple products, I use iOS for exactly the opposite reason to what you write. Feel free to let me know, we can work it out and I'll show you sometime. Have a nice day.
No, I've seen hundreds of laggy and stuck iPhones... http://goo.gl/5Af29g http://goo.gl/QOG7k7 http://goo.gl/SRi3NW
Nothing like this has ever happened to me and I even use a 3rd party keyboard.
It's totally on point. I am a fitness instructor. I play music for the lesson through my phone and measure my heart rate. In order to do 3 lessons in a row, I have to be at least 60 percent charged. For sure. I often have my phone on the charger. All fitness centers play music through a 3.5 jack. And I know a lot about the instructor who plays music from the iPhone. So no reduction or wound. It won't be very nice.
How is that?
In the morning, I upload songs to Music.app for eight hours of continuous playing. I connect the phone to a common Chinese bluetooth adapter (which is connected to large speakers). The phone is on the table, playing music, and I occasionally do something with it.
When I get home, my battery is usually at 70 percent, and Clash of Clans and similar nonsense that I suck from the net consume most of it :)

I have been working this way for several years. You'll have a problem somewhere, you'll need a flashlight for "three lessons".
It's not entirely accurate, I have wired headphones, I connect them to the Bluetooth adapter and go :-).
To put it into perspective, the IP67 standard: the abbreviation IP stands for Ingress Protection. The number 6 is the range of the scale from 0 to 6, where it is understood that the phone is protected from dangerous touch by any device and from the ingress of foreign objects and dust completely. Another indicates the degree of resistance to the ingress of water liquid. The range of this scale varies from 0 to 8. And grade 7 means that the phone is protected against immersion in water at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. Therefore, from a logical point of view, this standard is only intended to protect the phone from rain, if someone handy drops the phone into a puddle, into the bathtub, unfortunately also into the toilet, but not to swim with it and take pictures underwater. If you want to take pictures underwater, you probably won't be able to press the virtual camera button, because the water will cover the display. Therefore, the display will not be able to evaluate this option, so someone smart will think of pressing the volume button and water will enter the phone. I hope that this is how the first test on YouTube will look like, how the phone does not meet the standard. ?
For the stupid: The phone is not waterproof but waterproof even though it is a huge paddle and you could easily mistake it for a water paddle it is still waterproof not waterproof so stop twisting the words and read properly.
