In an interview with Buzzfeed Apple senior VP of hardware engineering Dan Riccio explained the removal of the headphone Jack on the iPhone 7 saying “It was fighting for space with camera technologies and processors and battery life. And frankly, when there’s a better, modern solution available, it’s crazy to keep it around.” To replace the audio jack Apple created the AirPod ear buds powered by the W1 wireless chip. According to ReCode the W1 wireless chip is Bluetooth with some additional code to allow seamless pairing with the iPhone 7 and to register the earbuds over iCloud with iPads, Apple Watches and Macs. But they should work with non-Apple devices as well.

Human pilots will be on standby to take control to satisfy FAA requirements.

Pick of the Day

I wanted to share an incredible combo for cord cutters: a HDHomerun and the Channels app on the Apple TV (or iOS). We have multiple Apple TVs in the house but only one TV had an OTA antenna hooked up to it. Now with this combo I can watch OTA broadcasts on any TV in the house, I don't have to find the TV's remote to do so, and it even supports about a 30-minute buffer for pausing and seeking through live TV!

Channels can be found at https://getchannels.com/. I got the HDHomerun Extend for the onboard transcoder, but I've found it unnecessary on the local network and the cheaper Connect model probably would have worked fine.

Hope you had a good vacation...the show was in good hands while you were out!

I find it really interesting that Apple quietly killed the solid gold Apple Watch Edition in favour of much cheaper ceramic watch. I think it would be really interesting for one of the Apple rumour folks like Mark Gurman to dig deeper and find out why the presumably highly profitable solid gold watch was killed. There’s surely got to be a great story behind it.
