The iphone 7 isn't out yet, so all those reviews are probably from early users... not that it makes a difference. I personally agree that Apple has spouted a load of crap as to why this headphone jack had to be removed, but I'm not surprised anymore... as to this not being a problem only in the blind community but in the sighted community as well, I don't know if it's possible to make that call since not enough information is retrievable about it unless you're willing to search extensively. the blind community is a small one, and so results in hearing a lot of the same comments in different places. Exodus's post in post 71 pretty much sums up my thoughts completely. I havent' seen any apple defenders come up with any argument that defeats those points... and apple, for all their accessibility inovations, are not doing this because they're a kind and caring corporation, and anyone who thinks that is fooling themselves. They do it so they can have a good reputation and increase their profits, as does any company that tends to market accessibility and make it a priority. Not that I'm sure there aren't a few people who genuinely care... but this is an idiotic reason for defending the headphone jack problem.
At post 72, this headphone jack removal i spawning controversy everywhere, not just here... and and what other cons? That is positively the biggest one of the whole lot... and as to pros, really, asiding from the camera and battery, there aren't any other ones that aren't in IOS 10 which iphone 6's, 6s, and SE will also support. If you don't care about cameras and have a battery case as many of us do, there is currently litterally no reaosn to get the iphone 7 other than for the shiny new toy you get and stereo speakers... and let's be honest, why do we care about stereo speakers on a cell phone? Maybe that sounds narrow-minded, but if you really want to enjoy your audio in stereo, why would you not use headphone or even a decent portable bluetooth speaker?
