First let me say that I am a lover of Bluetooth headphones.

As soon as I could get one, I did. I've suffered through early generation products that would disconnect at random times. You may have seen me stopped on the street in NYC trying frantically to get my headphones to re-pair with my iPhone so I could continue listening to a podcast. Some of them are so stubborn, nothing could convince them connect when they don't want to.

I'm happy to say I have found a reasonably priced Bluetooth headphone that aggressively stays connected to the phone. I just got my second one, the first one was drowned in a rainstorm last week and the Bluetooth connectivity died with it. I got plenty of hours of happy use of the first one.

That said, in another context I must have the wired connection, when I connect the iPhone to the Beats Pill that's mounted on the handlebars of my bike. For whatever reason, the Bluetooth connection is very unreliable in that mode. So I found a male-to-male mini-jack, and use that to hook the two together. Without the headphone jack, no music for Dave while biking. I totally love having the music, for that moment when I reach the top of the first hill in Central Park, and have a long stretch of relatively level riding, that's just perfect for Terrapin Station, which has become my cycling anthem. (Yes NakedJen, Jerry is still dead.)

That said, I'm happy to pay a few hundred for the new camera, so there's my dilemma. I love to take pictures with my iPhone and I want the best. But I really like having the headphone jack. I don't feel very conflicted yet, but I probably will once people are posting the new pics you can take with the iPhone 7 that can't be taken with the iPhone 6.
