To be "eligible for an upgrade" you need a contract. Contracts have cooling-off periods and warrantees, so the phone can be exchanged.
Even if this wasn't so, all consumers in the UK have a 16-day refund/replacement guarantee mandated by the government (just looked it up -- it's actually 30 days since The Consumer Rights Act was amended in 2015).
...they're just rumoured to be shipping the phone without one.
That's not removing. Nobody is having their existing phone amputated. The SE and 6S series will still ship after the release of the new phone, and they have headphone jacks. The existing, shipped devices have their headphone jacks.
If the new phone doesn't have a headphone jack, it'll be all over the Internet. There will be almost no way to avoid knowing that the iPhone 7 doesn't have a headphone jack.
Any "frustration" felt by users who then go and bye one, *knowing* that it doesn't have a headphone jack, *seeing* in the store that it doesn't have a headphone jack, having an Apple employing trying to up-sell them Bluetooth headphones after *telling* them it doesn't have a headphone jack... well, I have a suggestion for where they can plug their existing headphones.
I have read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. All at least twice. Loved them. And still I have no quarrel with any of Jackson's movies.
I'm happy about what was left in, taken out, twisted or invented. I'm happy with how many films there were, and how long.
Congratulations both of you. You've got Apple all figured out.
There I was thinking that improving iOS would boost sales-of and loyalty-to the biggest margin phone line-up that ever existed, when all the while I completely missed the nickel-and-diming opportunity of ad-blockers diverting petty-cash away from competing advertisers!
Genius. I mean, why would Apple make mere billions on hardware when it could rake-in hundreds, thousands, maybe even MILLIONS with its iAd platform?
Apple makes, relatively speaking, no money at all from advertising.
Indeed, if you take its entire software ecosystem as a whole, it makes up for a mere fraction of Apple's total profit when compared to its hardware sales.
So when we're all being very clever cynics and conspiracy theorists, perhaps we would do well to look at the motivation of a company in a holistic sense. For Apple, perhaps if they let users control ads, their overall experience of the platform improves, and they're more likely to remain loyal and keep buying hardware.

Too bad, but it was nice while it lasted!
You mean we'll have to start work on optimising our software?
Shit.
...on approach, and if there's enough time to accelerate ahead of the yellow light.
Perhaps in the next version.
That's the Cosmic Shame.

Everybody else installs a large spike in front of each seating position, covered by a faulty airbag.
Remove the airbag so people can see the spike pointed at them and see how that affects accident statistics.

History, or at least English, also teaches that etymology is just for nerds and is not instructive of meaning.
I think etymology gives very clear meaning to your previous post.
Sorry, false pedant, in this case "Javascript" is just a colloquialism for ECMAScript.
I like this idea, but I think history says that JavaScript was coined long before Netscape handed it over to ECMA.
The worlds most useless word.

Never, ever going to work.
Well sure. Nothing works if you try to do everything at once.
Try building a human from a pile of space-dirt in 9 months. You can't do it. It won't work. Especially not in that time-scale.
...and the Universe will produce a better idiot.
I'm sure the same applies for liars.
Linux? There's not much call for it. Not round here, sir.
Not much ca-- it's the SINGLE MOST POPULAR CHEESE IN THE WORLD!

I have a question. Just what is being consumed to keep such a monstrous magma chamber X2 burning? Coal? Oil? something is keeping it molten.
The souls of the damned.
Science isn't supposed to "have answers". The premise of a scientific theory is twofold:
1. It must "work" given certain conditions.
2. It must be able to be proved NOT to work outside of those conditions.
Science says nothing about rights and wrongs, just whether things work or not within certain measurable parameters.
Premise 2 is important. If you can't say what will make your theory break, then it's not clear you're really saying anything at all.
You can get a whole month of war for that!
...if it didn't we wouldn't be here to talk about it.
