you can get a splitter to charge and use headphones at the same time.

i get annoyed by not having having a separate headphone port on my 7 and always having to keep track of my dongle (banned act), but I’m also going to get some wireless over-ear headphones in the near future which should solve that problem. I have a 6S work iphone that I have spotify on so I just plug into that if my personal phone needs a charge.

I assume these wireless headphones of Apple work very well. I have a bluetooth speaker and the slight lag is noticeable if I try to watch video while using it in BT mode (it has a cable too). Could just be that Android/PC is slightly worse than Apple’s BT, though.

When they stop making ones with headphone sockets that is when I will be free of :apple: 's thrall. Just too many complications, dongle or keeping earphones charged, for no real benefit

Also weird how they sold it as a new feature when previous iPhones already supported wireless earphones, they literally just removed a feature and made out it was a selling point, phone had the same form factor and everything

Noticed the touchid on my phone has been a bit tricky today, planned obsolescence no doubt

Just pre-ordered.

Anyone else done it and already regretting it :grinning:

No but I am reading this on my new iPhone 8 cos I’m a saddo

I picked mine up on Friday, lovely bit of kit. Face unlock works great, cameras pretty faultless. It feels and looks expensive

Really ? Face unlock is Apple’s main feature, and it may be that this new feature will appeal to countless Apple fans , Including me :heart_eyes:, to be honest , i am not interested in iPhone 8 , but i am going to switch Android to iPhone (iPhone x) ,although its price is enough for me to buy several Android phone

Quite enjoying imagining you making the U WOT M8 face at your phone every time you want to unlock it.

Reviews seem unanimous. It’s a nice phone, a very nice phone. But the problem is A) The notch is a fucking disaster in design

and B) The Note One, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy S8 are all really nice phones and half the price. The fact that iOS still doesn’t have t-9 dialing is comical to me. And why do you need to swipe to unlock the phone after the face recognition? That just seems like bad design.

T9 dialling is shite and the notch is fine.
Definitely the best phone I’ve ever had.
