When you thought Apple couldn't suck less, they surprise you

  I mean seriously, fuck this shit. I don't care about better camera and battery life. No improvements to be able to handle VR and you remove the fucking headphone jack?! What is wrong with you Apple seriously. Your new wireless earbuds look like shit too. So awkward and stupid looking.
  
  On top of that, they didn't do anything revolutionary that hasn't been done before. They kept with their same design, same name, just different number. So much for innovation huh Apple. You don't know what the fuck you are doing so you are staying to the same stale fucking formula that you've been doing for the past few years.
  
  Next phone I'm getting I think will be an Android. I'm done with this shit. Steve Jobs is probably rolling in his grave over this shit. Apple stopped having good ingenuity after Steve Jobs left.
  
  A headphone jack is like the most important fucking thing for me. I want 1 portable device for apps, gaming, music, texting, and calling. Something that works with a decent pair of non apple headphones. I don't want your crappy headphones Apple. I mean sure there's that stupid dongle adapter that you can use. However, when I'm traveling I need to be able to charge my phone and listen to music while I kill time waiting for my next flight. Granted I only travel a couple times a year, but having to swap out a device for that situation isn't really appealing to me.
  
  Ugh, this shit makes me so mad. I hope Apple's stock continues to plummet.

  All I'm gonna say is that Google will be announcing their Nexus phone successors on October 4th. :)

  Won't have to do much. Have some poorly dressed, unshaven slob go on a stage, he powers on a projector that shows a photo of the phone with a headphone jack, and it'll be a better presentation than apple's.

  So true.
  
  I wouldn't mind having some fitness device though to go with the Android. This Apple Watch has kind of grown on me. However....I think I can ditch it and just get a regular watch at this point. Seeing that I gave up on trying to be healthy long ago. Well pokemon go might change that...hmm...
  
  Guess I can stay with the current phone I have then. Works okay enough.

  For people sticking to apple for whatever reason there's no reason to get the iphone 7 unless you're a couple of generations behind and having problems.

  Indeed. It would be nice if there was a smart watch that worked with Android phones. If google can make stupid shit like google glasses, surely they could come up with a better watch right? Well considering how stupid google glasses was who a I kidding myself on that one.

  I mean, Samsung's new Android phones were recalled for exploding.
  So there's that.
  
  Of course I'd still use an exploding phone over an Apple product, but that's not the point.

  That's both the beauty and the down-side to android. Anyone can manufacture an android phone. I personally only buy them directly from google. I don't want any extra shit installed and unable to remove.

  Getting 7 for sure since I'm still on 5s atm. Can't pass up a phone camera that can do bokeh. VR doesn't really matter to me, and headphone jack isn't that big a deal since I don't listen to music on the phone when I'm in front of a computer all day anyway.

  Quite right you are. Overpriced garbage is what I like to call them >.> Plus wearing those is like having a big target on your head saying please mug me. I don't trust wearing any apple headphones after a particular incident I had with them. Not to mention they are uncomfortable. I prefer over the head headphones.
