Check out this humorous spoof of the Apple iPhone 7 introduction video by College Humor entitled, "The New iPhone is Just Worse".

We've done something that at first seems counterintuitive--and then is: we've made it worse.

I'm also an Apple Addict but I must admit that this video is dead on!!!! Really great and truthful video!

I have used 2g ,3G , 4, 4s , 5, 5s and now using 6 plus, but watching the 7 and the 7plus I will say it awesome. Good job and God bless you. Ghana

Hey apple haters, go buy a Note 7 that has a headphone jack! But be careful that it may explode as you listen to music or watch a video.

IOS 11 out yet. Because no doubts nothing will support ios 9 then.

for those people who are crying about the audio jack being removed i just ask want to ask how many people who owns an iPhone that you see everyday at home, in the street, subways, malls, etc that uses them with the headphones? It's weird coz i don't see them as much as how everyone is complaining and arguing about how they removed the audio jack.. just look around you even at home and observe how each person who owns it and how they use it.. try that for a week and then see if its really something that you should be crying about.. lol

Since laptops with getting rid of disc drives and every other port (floppy, Ethernet, etc.)

Bigjiba - September 11, 2016 at 3:19am

Problem is they are taking away without adding. If they say it makes the phone 50m waterproof in the future then good. if they say now that the stock box earphones can detect my heartbeat or some other powered by lightning feature then I saw awesome. But until then it's flawed to remove it NOW. Honestly I don't think anyone minds if they remove it for a logical reason but people are scratching their heads.

gamerscul9870 - September 11, 2016 at 4:12am

Taking away without adding? Are you kidding me!? Tim mentioned how removing a jack added a few other components as well. At least the iPhone 7 has enough water depth to go below where it can handle, at least it has amped sound speakers, at least the force touch home button kept the functions in different form of use, and of course, improvements in battery, but if anything, don't miss out on trying those lightning headphones yourself. from what goes into cords based on build quality, the lightning headphones adds in that i2s sound as if it's a boomstick within headphones, plus the removal of the jack is just another example of how we live in a wireless world (that is if people choose AirPods). At least be glad your set ill holding on to your current iPhone for all we know!

Bigjiba - September 11, 2016 at 5:32am

Yes I am not kidding. They can find space elsewhere to put it in. There is a Taptic Engine in the Apple Watch. 6s is already water resistant just not advertised. iPhone is even thicker this time around. Hey put more battery and features. we don't mind a thicker phone. Still I think this should be the last step towards whatever they are trying to achieve. I'm already wireless in audio but I know people using aux cables on their 30pin iPhone stereos.

Bigjiba - September 11, 2016 at 6:12am

Honestly if they add the ear port back would you not buy the next iPhone 7s? Of course not. So let people express their concerns because it's important to them and doesn't detriment yours or my wireless audio practices. You realize that when people complain, Apple listens. Look at bend gate. Storage complaints. Etc They cannot afford to not listen. The market is saturated and there are plenty of alternatives to the non Apple people.

gamerscul9870 - September 11, 2016 at 1:41pm

When Apple get rid of something on any device, it stays off. Not a single port on any Mac that disappeared has ever returned and it's no exception! Aside from that, if Apple did have space, they would sacrifice battery size and logic board components. You could argue it needs to be thick, but this is one of many reasons why the jack is gone. It's just not thin enough. Not to say your arguments are invalid, just trying to reason with you.

gamerscul9870 - September 12, 2016 at 10:03pm

And make iOS insecure to risk theft just for all of that? No thanks dude! I like my 5s to, but it's now my backup. At least I can actually take my phone into water as a swimmer and can use the display underwater, plus the overhaul with the camera. I can't say no to that nor the A10 fusion that is a steep step ahead full power or not. Fun fact Id like to mention: there's an article that says matching iPhone 7 specs isn't as easy as it seems (somewhere along those lines). You'll see what it mentions when you see for yourself, oh and stereo speakers + lightning output for headphone audio! Why the heck not?

AppleKid - September 10, 2016 at 5:43pm

Has anyone seen one of my AirPods? I seem to have lost one of them. I knew I would lose it this fast. I'll just go and buy another one, problem solved. If I lose it again, I'll buy it again; it's my money and Apple's too.

gamerscul9870 - September 10, 2016 at 3:08pm

False. It's just a headphone jack removal and most of the world goes crazy over this necessary change that added so much in the end. What makes this 'problem' a bigger joke to tattle tellers is that they want it to be a problem when we have multiple solutions and hell, one of them was prior to the iPhone 7 release! Here they are: Keeping old models as backup, using iPods, lightning headphones, and adapters. Not that hard was it?

Nitemare - September 10, 2016 at 2:34pm

True! ReMoving headphone port so Apple can make more money is disgusting. What's even more sadder is all the people who think it's a good idea.

The Croods: "Anything New is BAAAAAD!!!"

Great! - September 10, 2016 at 6:29am

So contrived. Tsk tsk tsk.

A non e moose - September 10, 2016 at 3:29am

Cuz it's legal which is why they can.

joshWUa - September 10, 2016 at 2:32am

If only project Ara didn't get canceled, that was a good idea oh a phone.

Imri - September 10, 2016 at 7:15am

How do you know it got canceled?

joshWUa - September 11, 2016 at 1:20pm

I googled it and saw it on CNET and the verge

Hardware engineer - September 10, 2016 at 1:47am

You guys don't even know the benefits in going lightening vs aux... I don't blame y'all cause 99% of you guys aren't engineers. Headphone jacks only deliver L/R analog audio signals... The power with lightening you can transfer POWER and digital audio (i2s) and the benefit in that is simple: headphones now can come out with Audio DAC & AMPS in side the headphones so you can get better sound quality and base... AND you won't have to use a external batter that you typically plug in let's say.... Bose's headphone.

A non e moose - September 10, 2016 at 3:28am

Wouldn't all that power going into small speakers be overkill? I feel those small buds wouldn't need THAT much power.

Hardware engineer - September 10, 2016 at 7:25am

Just because there is power delivery doesn't mean it has to be a lot of power, just enough to power the audio Dac vs let's say using a double A battery like Bose does.

Petr - September 9, 2016 at 9:43pm

Lets remove phone from the iPhone and we have just "the i" :-) Apple , born Steve Jobs back!!!!!

no_ma'am - September 9, 2016 at 8:57pm

Ha!

Why - September 9, 2016 at 8:52pm

The thing that's worse is the c4 galaxy note

Name14 - September 9, 2016 at 8:47pm

Or go for the Note 7: they now give you a flak jacket and a pair of oven gloves with every purchase...

Name14 - September 10, 2016 at 5:45am

Offence can only be taken, not given. If you do not like something, either hit unfriend, unfollow, exit or quit. But in this situation I will recommend the door. No need to act like babies and throw your toys around because you lost your pacifier and you hate every other pacifier in the shop - you are still just acting like a baby and everyone is laughing at you.

Imri - September 9, 2016 at 8:24pm

I really like the iphone 7 and probably buying it and I find this thing really funny, Idc what people think of the phone as long as I know it's good and suits my needs... ;)

SteveGreen - September 9, 2016 at 8:02pm

Please… Why you ruin such nice work of talented Apple's engineers and other guys posting (spread) such cheap jokes?
