I don't really know anything about headphones or phones and crap but I'll probably get this phone because I'm an apple fanboi.

Gets IT.

I want a carbon fiber housing.  Also a battery made of air or something.

me too!  I have to use those kinds that wrap all the way around the outside of your ear to keep headphones in. 

how people actually RUN using earbuds is beyond me.

That's an interesting point. Many cars on the road don't have Bluetooth. And many of the cars that do have Bluetooth have owners who won't be able to figure out how to play music with it. (Especially iPhone owners! Hur hur.)

It's a bullshit move, but oh so Apple.  Bluetooth is highly compressed and has lag issues.

Are you guys also pissed that this new iPhone doesn't have a floppy disk drive?  Sometimes the role of an innovator is to drag people kicking and screaming into the future.  Thank you Apple for taking on this difficult role.

Look at all the haters who think they know more what people want in a phone than Steve Jobs

I'm all for innovation.  However there's innovation and cash grabs that they're trying to make look like innovation.  Wireless headphones are nothing new.  Using proprietary methods is understandable in many circumstances, and total bullshit in others.  In this case it's total bullshit.

Something else that is very Apple is asking people to adapt the way they do things (e.g. listen to music) in order to accommodate their phone rather than having the phone be adaptable to the way that people do things.

Once Verizon starts selling the Note 7 again, I'm getting one of those.
