Wow, Hundreds of people do you say? That must be 0.0005% of iPhone 7 sales so far!
It sure proves that Apple was wrong to remove the iPhone jack for over 30 million iPhone 7s sold so far that a few hundred people want to buy a case with a jack in it...
it can take a long time between the moment a new Android release is introduced and it being rolled out via software updates.
Take the OnePlus 2 for example. It launched a year ago with Android 5.0 Lollipop, just before Google released Android 6.0, but it wasn't until early June that it received a software update to Marshmallow. OnePlus X, which launched shortly after the OnePlus 2, only gets its Marshmallow treatment today.
I remember people saying the exact same thing when Apple removed Floppys, serial ports & optical drives: "How could anyone be burdened with it, it's sooo small and light and I need them soooo muuucch!!!".
This tempest in a teacup will soon blow over as well.
The payoff for removing the jack isn't so much with this year's iPhone it's that it's preparing the way for next years design.
This year's iPhone7 doesn't have a TouchID "Button" any more. Pressing TouchID gives feedback using the new haptic engine which needed the space freed by the removal of the Jack. Next year's iPhone will, from what I've read, remove the residual touchID zone (but not TouchID function) so that the whole front if the future iPhone will be used for the screen & haptic feedback will be even more necessary.
Then buy a battery case. If more people did so, Apple & Samsung &... would have a better case for building thicker phones. Because so few do, the business case for making them is clearly "at a loss".
Apple & Samsung & everyone else have performed market studies that show that other than a nostalgic vocal few, not enough people would actually buy thicker phones to justify their development. The proof of this is that If the market for thick phones was as underserved as you pretend, sales of thicker phones and these thick, reinforced battery pack cases for todays thinner phones would be a significant percentage of all smartphone buyers. This isn't the case and battery cases & external batteries exist for those who need them and suffice for almost everyone.
if you rely on your rocket engines entirely to decelerate (as the video clearly shows)
You clearly haven't understood how Space-X plans to decelerate both stages of the ICT. The 1st stage will use atmospheric resistance just like the Falcon 9 does and the video clearly shows the ICT 2nd stage using atmospheric drag from 3:40 to 3:45 before moving on to terminal rocket deceleration.
You start off claiming that your CD collection is "ripped mostly at 192 to 256" and now claim that you have "over 1000" classical music CDs...
Where was it that I heard a similarly laughably contradictory statement? Ah yeah it was that self described wine expert that added club soda to his glass.
Everyone with that many classical musical CDs would be listening to them in their original quality and be using FLAC/ALAC, not someone wanting to upgrade tens of thousands of tracks of napster music.
Thanks for exposing yourself as a fraud as well as prejudiced.
Oh that's ok, choosing to cheap out on an inferior insecure product because you can't stand to expose your fingers for a few seconds is a valid option for all Inuits.
Dwilden's example shows that that clickonthis' attempt to narrow the definition of traitor to uniquely apply during times where congress has declared war (in an attempt to disqualify using it for Manning) is obsolete.
The people suing Samsung like the guy in Florida with severe burns and skin grafts aren't going to be put off by Samsung claiming that the problem was a bad batch from a supplier. Samsung will be condemned for not moving faster to recall them and given the pictures that are already out on the Internet it will indeed be for over 6 figures. Samsung is free to pursue reimbursement from the battery supplier much as everyone is going after Takata for their lethal airbags but Samsung is on the spot first.
Hey hyperslow, I wasn't the one who wrote "TouchID didn't work either with the physical button if you had gloves on" then added "that's why i got myself a pair of fingerless gloves".
That WOOSH noise you're ignoring is that you wouldn't need fingerless gloves with these or any of the other gloves that have silver threads in them to be used with capacitive screens.
House centipedes. The grey-brown kind with lots of long thin legs.
They're completely harmless to humans, even kinda cute for a bug, and are voracious predators against virtually all the home-infesting insects that we dislike, including termites
Snort! Termites?!? You're really trying to tell us that you believe centipedes will invade and destroy termite infestations!?!
If I could be a fly on the wall of the meeting where you tried to explain why you used liquid nitrogen to kill rats, I wish you would attempt it.
They do this in parks -- you know those areas with grass and trees...
As you would need much more nitrogen to displace the oxygen instead of using CO2 which is toxic at low levels, you'd also need a lot more liquid nitrogen. The purchase and transport of sufficient amounts of CO2 to treat a park is going to be much more expensive than cheap CO2.
Using that much liquid N2 would also freeze the soil -- and the root systems of the grass and trees.
You: "The rats in park xyz are all dead and it only cost a few thousand dollars" Mayor: "So is all the plant life in the park around your treatments, you could have killed off only the rats for a few hundred and now replanting the park is going to take over a hundred grand!!!" You: "ehhhh..."
A bucket or even a dish of water is sufficient to end it quickly which is better than letting them suffer if you hear that. If killing them isn't your objective, you should be using live traps. I trapped & skinned muskrats to earn gas money as a teenager. Killing rats by drowning them doesn't bother me.
Not as densely as they do in cities. and cities sans humans would naturally produce very little food. There would be a rat genocide. Not a total rat genocide but genocide still.
Given that you do not seem to have figured out that gloves with silver threads suffice to unlock an iPhone 7 i'd guess that you live all alone on an island in the tropics?
So many ACs are incapable of reading the summary to the end where it says "able to activate the Home button using gloves made to work specifically with touch screens". Never seen a touchscreen glove with silver threads, huh? Poor boy...

Heh, OnePlus takes 6 months to a year to deploy upgrades
it can take a long time between the moment a new Android release is introduced and it being rolled out via software updates.

Or you're a corner case too insignificant to matter for most phone makers.

Give mankind a few decades on Mars and we'll have Global Warming there too, we'll find a way even without Oil/Gas/Coal...

Meh, I haven't had a computer in a decade where Emacs would slow it down. Perhaps you should look into something a bit more modern?
The people suing Samsung like the guy in Florida with severe burns and skin grafts aren't going to be put off by Samsung claiming that the problem was a bad batch from a supplier.

Yeah! That way they would sell just (only) as many iphones as Samsung sold Note 5s! After all what company wouldn't want to see their sales tank...

Is that still to fast for you hyperslow?

Says you (I hear an axe grinding).
As some say that CO2 poisoning is painful there is no consensus that it is not cruel and inhumane.
A bucket or even a dish of water is sufficient to end it quickly which is better than letting them suffer if you hear that. If killing them isn't your objective, you should be using live traps. I trapped & skinned muskrats to earn gas money as a teenager. Killing rats by drowning them doesn't bother me.

Given that you do not seem to have figured out that gloves with silver threads suffice to unlock an iPhone 7 i'd guess that you live all alone on an island in the tropics?
Then you use this NOVEL ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE CONCEPT called a LOCK SCREEN PASSWORD to unlock it.
Emphasis added to help the slow people among us catch up.

The Samsung Galaxy 7 is even better! It BOOM
