They aren’t overreacting. Lithium ION batteries can explode quite easily and the properly cheap have quite a few times. Also would you rather Samsung didn’t bother calling for a recall/replacement and you had one of the 40/50 odd that have exploded?

The best thing is the iphone isn’t even any thinner. In fact the iphone 7 is thicker than the iphone 6 and the same thickness as the iphone 6S

The note 7 has a 3.5mm jack if that’s what your talking about.

Any blu-ray player that follows the blu-ray spec has to

This list was from 2015

It does support DVD and CD, you just put them in the same drive as the blu-ray one.

The majority won’t they will know apple as the first to do it. However either way HTC did it years before apple and motorolla with the HTC dream/ T-mobile G1

and apple refuse to pay the license fee for aptX so have to develop their own version.

It is an input when used as a mic or for a headset button as many phone headphones now do.

Not really. Apple has their older phones that people still like. Samsung have had around 35 cases of the note 7 batteries exploding and have already issued a recall. Also samsung have the S7 which is what the majority of people that buy high end samsung phones will get.

Unless this has changed recently Apple don’t use the apt X codec which is probably why it wasn’t mentioned.

Other than compatibility why would you use wav files compared to FLAC or ALAC. Because at least for phones you probably want the smallest possible files for your ideal audio quality and even if you like lossless audio you save a small amount of space with those two formats. However I agree with your point about…

Nope Thunderbolt is the intel standard.

You can turn bluetooth on when an (android dunno about IOS) phone is running in aeroplane mode. The FAA claim you can use bluetooth and wifi on flight as long as aeroplane mode is on however British Airways claim you can only do it while the plane is in motion. IE not taxi, take off and landing.

$159 earbuds may be normal(ish) at the high end but amazon have at least 30 bluetooth earbuds which cost less than $30.

This one is bluetooth

Atoms and Core processors are still the same arch, X86 or AMD 64

No one quite knows however, Apple will almost certainly release adapters for the IPhone that create two lightning ports from the one like endless people did when they released the Macbook with one USB type C port for charging, mice, keyboards, displays etc.

While I don’t know if Apple where a group that helped design USB type C. They were one of the first companies to include it in a laptop. The new MacBook. I also agree that it would be good if they used a common standard however they are incredibly unlikely to remove both the 3.5mm headphone jack and the lightning port…
