[Electronics-Talk] Experiences with the iPhone 7, and the lack of a headphone jack

[David Andrews]

I have an iPhone 7 and mostly don't miss the 
earphone jack. I have a bag I always carry with 
me, an camera bag, that I use to hold earphones 
and my Victor Reader Stream, so the adapter is 
always available to me.  The one time I missed it 
-- I had to do a presentation to a group, and 
show them the iPhone screen so I had a lightning 
to VGA adapter, which took up the jack. I had to 
use a bluetooth speaker, for audio.  One of the Y 
adapters mentioned by Ray, in a previous message, would have come in handy.

The iPhone does come with lightning ear-buds so it all works out pretty well.
