Didn't Wozniak (the dude who's kinda important in the apple world) pretty much say WTF are they thinking removing the headphone jack ?
My main issue is, I listen to my music in the gym, in work, and general while in motion. This is the same as when I'm using the hands free. No matter how careful you are, it does gets caught, or it slips out and you catch the wire, life happens.
How much hammer can the power port take before it converts the phone in to a really poor paperweight ?
I also don't trust Apple not to produce a lightening port 3.0, this is the second iteration, and its pretty much due an upgrade soon. So you buy new peripherals, then bam all useless. Apple have been asked if they are committing to keeping the current port, and they wouldn't confirm or deny. This should scare you.
@accelerator the Note 7 weren't really an iPhone 7 rival (perhaps a iP7 Plus rival), the Galaxy 7 destroys the iP7 in almost every way on the other hand. There is an article, which suggests that samsung saw how basic and out of ideas the iPhone 7 were, so they rushed the Note 7 out, a week or so earlier than expected, and this is why the battery issue weren't spotted. Interesting angle.
As for Products Sugru has been quite interesting, its like plasticine which sets like hard plastic, so you can protect connectors on phones, or repair things, I've used it to repair a broken back for a battery compartment too. I picked some up on amazon on prime day.

I also saw a product called Ultra Ever Dry or Ever Dry Ultra, which is basically a varnish which is water proof, and works on nearly everything.
the reviews seem sketchy but looks interesting.
