New watch looks nice I didn't pay that close of attention to that. New Phones are 7 and 7+
Is the much ado about no headphone jack true?
Does it matter honestly?
Why wouldn't people use a bluetooth headset?
Yeah, but what about all the hobby businesses that only process credit cards with the mobile payment things that plug into a headphone jack? They're all going to be forced to pay fees to Apple now instead of the super cheap ones in place today.
Why wouldn't Square design a unit that can connect over BlueTooth?
I think they do.

No headphone jack makes it even shittier than the rest of Crapple's products.
That's a pretty significant loss of functionality. I get that they want to seal it for water proofing, but.... ugh.
I completely disagree on the loss of functionality. It is called moving forward. The fact that they are including both a Lightning to analog converter as well as the lightning earpods themselves is amazing.

They'll be forced to Android.
Good. Bring all of them our way
There are Nexus's waiting for everyone -

Security? Cost? Batteries. I think people really overlook the charing problems for devices.

The earpods connect over Lightning? I thought that they were wireless.
I'm unhappy that Apple blocks my browser so that I can't watch the event.

Square switched a while ago to a new unit in order to get the ApplePay/AndroidPay crowd. They do not promote the use of the analog jack anymore.

OH that's good. So only legacy devices affected.

Funny enough, someone that I know was talking about engineering a new product that relied on the headphone jack less than a week ago! LOL

They do. The Magstrip reader is free with an account. It's their entry level/new customer bonus. The NFC model you have to pay for on top of it.

There are the standard headphones with the lightning jack along with the lightning to headphone jack adaptor in the box. The AirPods are more $$

Earpods are wired and always have been.
Airpods are wireless. They look interesting. I will want to test the audio quality before I buy. but i hate my plantronics bluetooth now.

Ya it happened with the card chip change. They would cover your costs if someone's info was stolen from swiping until they shipped it to you.

Yeah I would want to know someone with them before I buy to see if they are worth it.

OKay, so you need new ones, but at least they are retaining the functionality, just not backward compatibility with the old headphones?

I liked them for the short time that they worked, but it was like one month before they died. None of mine kept working.

I didn't see that Earpods were still included. It sounded like they were phased out.

$159 for the airpods, being released in october.

I don't see carrying around an extra adapter as an issue. It would just be connected to my earbuds which i already carry around anyways.
