It seem like the Iphone 6s is the last model with an earphone jack - correct? I'm kind of toying with getting one just because I like this feature. Not sure I want to have more expensive, wireless headphones.
Does the Iphone 6s have the battery problems that have been in the news lately?
I can buy this new one for $299 - but I am trying to figure out if this is an unlocked phone or not - can someone help me?
I have a 6S plus. I haven't had any battery problems.
I thought the phone you listed would be locked to Total Wireless, but it gives you the option to buy it with 'no plan, device only.' Interesting. I'm not sure if it's unlocked.
I have the iPhone 7. The lack of a 3.5 mm jack is really a nonissue. I had to replace my 6s with a 7 due to a defect. The 7 was quite a jump up. The 7 is noticeably faster, with a better camera and speakers. Being waterproof is nice. It came with a dongle so I can use my Beats earbuds. The dongle stays on my earbuds and takes up zero room.
Do you still seek out a computer that uses a floppy disc? Kind of the same thing. If charging your phone and listening to music at the same time is important to you, get an 8 or Xs. My Beats earbuds work well with my jackless iPhone.
Zip it Mr 5150. This is a very contentious issue still in the 'tech world'. :P
So you can't charge your phone and use headphones, can you? hmmmmmm?
Answer: no. If she doesn't want to screw around with a dongle, leave her alone. Personally I still seriously miss the headphone jack. I've already lost one dongle. Then I was leaving on a trip and couldn't find the dongle for my Esssential phone and grabbed the one from my old Motorola.... can you guess? It wouldn't work on the Essential. OMG I was so ticked...
I finally caved and bought some Bluetooth headphones. Not bad but YET another thing to charge with a different type of charger....
She wants what she wants.
Are you SURE that's unlocked? I seriously doubt you can buy that and go somewhere else as soon as you get it.
A carrier is not going to sell a phone and NOT lock you in somehow so you can't on day 1 cancel and go somewhere else.

Gads. Of all the issues of life the lack of a 3.5 mm jack is so far down the list I can’t even see it. Unless your smartphone is the most important thing to you. For me, family, friends, my physical and spiritual health rank way above the lack of a 3.5 mm jack on my iPhone.
Two side notes: pay attention to your battery level and you will not be caught short (I realize that is hard for some like Mrs5150) Second, I buy my phones from the Apple store, not from Verizon, so they are unlocked.
I would never advise anyone to buy an outdated phone just to have the 3.5mm jack. The 6s is ok, but the 7,8 and up are so much better

Well this is the cell phone and smartphone sub-forum.
I have to be honest and say one of the things that is so consistent on CD, and always bothers me, is how there is such a need to attack people for things they say in their OPs. I don't get it. It just seems like folks need an outlet for their negativity, or need to feel superior.

Thank you- yes, I am also confused about whether that phone is unlocked for the same reason you mentioned.

I don't get this reply at all. This is hardly anything ANYONE is losing sleep over. I would never expect this kind of reply from you. Why do you even hang out here then? Don't you have family and friends to hang out with? You do realize when I said "Zip it" I am playing around with you.
This is a tech forum where we talk about technology and help others with it. Is this some big deal that, as I said, I am losing sleep over? No. I am much more concerned about things in my 'real life'. But I enjoy helping people with this stuff so it's something I do in my spare time.
Sorry, but you should know me well enough to know one of my pet peeves is when someone asks for help and someone else says "you're doing it wrong".
Like: Hey I want a new Windows computer!
Oh, you should get an Apple.

Have you been on an 8 hour flight?

But you don't know her needs. The 6 may even be MORE then she needs.....
She's asking a specific question. If maybe she said "should I get a 8 or 6?"
THEN your comments are spot on. She didn't.
