It comes with a jack to lightning adapter. You can continue to use your wired headphones.

I think I can better use my money than spending it on iPhone 7. Apple has more than enough cash, I don't need to contribute more than they needed.

I'm still using a Galaxy S2 and it's more than adequate for my needs. Unlike new phones, it has a removable battery so I can buy a lot of them for cheap to swap out when they go bad. I generally keep phones for many years because personally for myself it's a waste of money to shell out 500+ every year or so when the old one works perfectly fine.

Nope (Android user). I do think Apple is too drunk on success to realize that removing the headphone jack was a dumb move.

Buy it only if it does the dishes and makes the beds. I'm already on technology overload.

Not seeing anything there to particularly attract me, and losing the headphone jack is a definite minus in my book, so - no.

Bluetooth headphones is another damn thing to keep charged. I like plugging my phone into aux ports and charge it at the same time. I very much like to listen to headphones and charge at the same time when watching movies on long flights.

LOL! That "dumb move" will be coming to a phone near you.
It is the future of phones.
