We consumers may or may not benefit sometime down the line.

Of course, you can just go wireless, as Apple would love you to do.
Apple CEO Tim Cook shakes hands with a photographer while standing next to performer Maddie Ziegler during an event to announce new products, Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2016, in San Francisco. Users will have two alternative ways to listen to music.
Just minutes after the rollout began, social media sites filled up with complaints from pissed off iPhone users who, after trying to download iOS 10 over WiFi, found that their iDevice had been rendered useless. You can do so through either iTunes or iCloud.
Audio plays automatically when you’re wearing them, and pauses when you pop one out to talk to someone.
You can send animated doodles (hit the heart icon) and handwritten notes (turn your screen horizontally), though recipients without compatible phones will see a static image.
Just like the notifications, the home screen also offers a mini version of the apps, if you hard press on an app icon with 3D Touch. Now, you get those by swiping right from the left edge. Bluetooth headphones are often pricey. If Apple really ditches the home button then it would like to put Siri at the helm of its next device. It could be the best time to update your device now as Apple started rolling out some fixes and changes.
To charge your phone while listening, you need a $99 battery case or a third-party adapter.
But Apple doesn’t even completely support it.
By owning its own port, like Apple does with Lightning, Samsung would be able to license it to accessory makers either for profit or for free. Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal both reported on Apple’s plan to ditch the home button and use an edge-to-edge display for the next few iPhone. It had no such control over the headphone jack.
We look forward to seeing the official teardowns of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, as they are very likely to confirm the regulatory reports.
Meanwhile, Sprint highlighted in a press release that pre-orders of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are up more than 375% in the first three pre-sale days, compared to the same period previous year. It now allows you to use Siri to start workouts.
The benefits that the two companies envisioned more than a year ago start to come to fruition with iOS 10, which comes out Tuesday.
Still, that’s not all Schiller had to say on the matter.
Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are finally proving the bearish investors and analysts wrong, as the tech giant’s stock has been up more than 2% since yesterday’s pre-market hours.

In other words, with each part you include in a smartphone, there are trade-offs you have to make.
