> but which would lead to everyone having a better experience in the long run (and for early adopters, a better experience as soon as they start using their AirPods) How long is the long run? Oh and he forgot to mention that "as soon as" precludes you spending $150 on AirPods. So, after you spend several hundred dollars buying a new phone, you're either relegated to carrying around a pointless dongle for something as basic as a headphone, or you now have to spring $150 more for AirPods, and keep charging them, because Apple now has "courage". IMHO this decision is driven primarily by self-interest from the Beats acquisition. In any case, I'm actually looking forward to better wireless tech (from any vendor). I'm just not buying the courage BS, or that this iteration of the tech is ready for primetime. I don't doubt that they will get a ton of sales from the iPhone 7. Hopefully it will help bring down the cost over time. I'm hoping that by the time the iPhone 8 comes out, they'll have out of the box wireless headphones and proper wireless charging, etc. I only hope they don't slow down my 6S too much before then.
