You are directing this at the wrong person, i have no idea what plan they have except they have sat on an upgrade for 18 months, which is a really stupid way to manage your cell phone situation.

When people laud themselves for "Courage" it is usually because they really should be using another word.
In this case it would seem that word is "greed"

They made a comment about how it took courage to take away the earphone port. Internet is now full of memes.

And the memes are glorious. And well deserved, Apple falling off of their own pedestal.

Actually, if I'm understanding Verizon, that's exactly what it's like. My "base plan" is like $40 - then every phone "on contract" is another $40, and every phone "off contract" is only $20. Initially both she and I were on contract, so all in we were like at $120. We both were eligible for an upgrade at the same time when the 6 came out. I "re-upped", and stayed at $40 for my line, but since she was no longer on contract, her line was only another $20 each month. So our bill went from $120 to $100 because she choose not to upgrade and rather keep her no off contract and paid off phone.
Moreover, if I understand how they do it now - you pay 0% interest for 24 months, but you're technically "off contract", so only $20 per line. A new iphone SE (the size she likes) would be $16 a month, but her base will stay at $20/m.

Again, why? You're going to be paying for it either way. He line for the last year and a half has been $20/m. We could have "purchased" a new phone with an upgrade, but it would have upped her monthly line charge to $40/m. $20/m for 24 months is $480. All for a phone that we didn't need at the time. We were sitting on the upgrade till one of us broke a phone, which luckily didn't happen till recently, and I think I've got it fixed anyway with a new screen (painstaking process btw).

So many tweets already about madness in NYC happening when identical air pods fall out of different peoples ears as they're walking the streets.

Usually they work out in the long run. No one wants to bother with a microSD card, apple saw the future there.
The headphone jack is probably smart too, as the future is clearly going to wireless technology. Cords are super annoying and since the technology is there to get rid of them, why not?
The only issue of course is that you have to charge them, and that's a really big issue for some people. If you're a proud owner of air-pods and they run out of battery in the middle of a movie......Well, yeah that's going to stink. Just one more thing to remember to charge.

I'd love to have them...but I think they are massively over-priced and I have zero confidence that I wouldn't lose these within one week.

I'm not ####ting you, I bought two Apple Pencils when I bought my iPad Pro. The second one is sitting at home collecting dust. But damnit one day I'll lose mine and I'll be so glad I have it.

Really? No one wants to spend less than $20 to double their phone's 64 GB storage once they run out of space, preferring to spend hundreds more on a new phone instead?

Sprint still offering the discounted phones with 2 year contracts but only for current customers.

Given the unreliability of SD cards for data storage, the slow speed of data transfer, as well as the myriad of issues android phones have had with the card/phone interface? Yeah... I'll spend the extra Hundreds $80 to have better, more reliable storage accessible via a much faster I/O interface.
But if slow, buggy, and unreliable is your thing... have at it!

My cheap ### loves how you spend money. You should have a thread just listing all the stuff you buy.

Yeah if I bought a 7 I would likely just leave the little extension on the end of my current headphones until I felt compelled to upgrade.. and then buying a model with integrated lightning support would be part of the purchasing decision.

Very underwhelming. The airpods look like they will fall out of ears all the time.
Will ios 10 run smoothly on a 6+?

IMO If history is any representation it will run:
5: will function, but not great
5s: Decent
6: Near Flawless
6s: Flawless

No one I know has ever had a SD card fail. You can buy a 200GB card for $60.Given the unreliability of SD cards for data storage, the slow speed of data transfer, as well as the myriad of issues android phones have had with the card/phone interface?

Besides the internal memory in the phone is exactly the same technology.
I'll let that sink in a bit

I have had a micro SD card fail. There, now you know one person.
You completely gloss over the SD card issues that android has had with the format (Google helps here), and the fact that data transfer is much slower than on board memory.
It's not the same.

Why would you just not order a second Apple Pencil if you lost your first one? It's not like they are hard to get.

I don't think its exactly the same. The internal memory is actually connected to the motherboard. There's no easy way to remove it.

Because Oats needs it as soon as he can't find it. I assume he will order another one as soon as he can't find the first one but it will be his third iPencil.

Those of you with a 6 plus (or higher) that plan on getting the 7, how are you gonna go about getting it? Some kind of trade in? Or try to sell it yourself?
I have a 6 plus in great condition, but I don't know if AT&T has any kind of store trade in deals.
I sold my 5S to game stop for $127 a year or so ago, I felt like I got ripped off. But Craigslist wasn't working for me.

Most of the data I have on my phone doesn't need to be read at 400 MB/s. I just need a large, cheap place to store data.I have had a micro SD card fail. There, now you know one person.
