On Wednesday Apple unveiled the iPhone 7, and with it changed the way we listen to audio. It’s set to be the first smartphone without a headphone jack. If you want to listen to music or your favorite podcast, you can use the upgraded external speakers, or connect with the new AirPod wireless headphones. The third option is to use a headphone adapter that connects via the lightning port. A few notes about this development. The AirPod headphones will cost $159 per pair, and can hold a charge for five hours. They’re also part of Apple’s plan to make their product indispensable by investing in technology that only works with their devices. Want to use your AirPods to listen to things NOT on an iPhone or iPad? Good luck. Are you great at keeping track of your stuff? No? I’m sure you won’t lose those two small AirPods the size of an M&M and be forced to buy a fresh pair. And of course as with all rechargeable devices, it’ll be fun to watch the AirPod maintain five hours of charge for the first year, then rapidly decline to half that amount for the second. Sounds like a blast. In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a bit angry over this development. If you’re a present or future iPhone user, you should be too. Maybe in five years we’ll look back and think about how silly this whole thing was. Maybe. Okay, let’s dive into today’s Pick Your Poison.
