          The 7+ is amazing value and quality. Still fast and plenty of storage for normal use. Sadly they got rid of the home button, if they added in screen sensor it would have made it up for that.

                And on phones where manufacturers want you to have best expirence because wireless headphones are still inferior lol.

If you're ok with wireless that's fine, but some people are looking for a higher quality, which wireless headphones are just not capable of. And if they discharge while you're away? Don't be brainwashed, leave the jack to those who need it, nobody is forcing you to use it.

                    i7+ = 56mm

                    Not a copy .... HTC had dual system. One as depth.

                      These models are legendary. Except battery, everything WORKS more than perfectly. Photos like G Pixel’s, sound-perfect, speed after 14th update - lightning fast. Still worth the money.

                                Anonymous, 18 Oct 2020Huh? Where do we plug in our headphones then?Ask this to an apple fan boy and he would give you suggestions... But there's usb-c adapters, usb-c headsets and Bluetooth. None of course as simple as a 3,5 jack but one can live without it.

                                  Anonymous, 18 Oct 2020The day they took away that audio jack is the day disaster ... moreApple is funnily enough a company that make their fans believe it's a feature to remove features.

                                  "Flash is useless you don't need it" even though it was basically a web standard at the time. Somehow it's better if the battery isn't user replaceable... 3,5 jack takes up space (even if the world's smallest phones can have it) and besides wireless is better.
