Kind of odd that the article basically argues that the main reason Apple dropped the headphone port was to make more money at the expense of its users - and was dishonest by pretending it was to make the phone waterproof... but then the author still orders the iPhone 7.
Apple's blatant marketing bullshit really rubs me the wrong way.

- davidhariri 10y agoI'm glad! Thanks!
