Editor's Pick: Apple Hopes iPhone 7 Extras Will Make Up for Missing Headphone Jack

Apple Hopes iPhone 7 Extras Will Make Up for Missing Headphone Jack

David Jones Sep 8, 2016 8:29 AM PT

Apple CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday officially unveiled the iPhone 7 and iPhone Plus, confirming a rumor that has evoked widespread dread: The traditional headphone jacks are gone. The new iPhones are sleeker than their predecessors, though, as well as water resistant. Their biggest plus might be the advanced lenses in what Apple claims is the most sophisticated smartphone camera in the world. [More...]

Today's Story Highlights

It's Time for Comcast to Get Off the Wireless Fence
Comcast tried to give wireless a go several years ago. It failed. It
pulled out of wireless, sold its spectrum and was done. Now, wireless
has expanded and changed, and competitors like AT&T's U-verse and
DirecTV are using wireless to deliver television programming. I'll bet
Comcast now wishes it never sold off its wireless spectrum. So, what can
we expect from the company going forward?
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83876.html

American Bookworms Still Love Paper
The death of the printed book appears to have been greatly exaggerated.
Nearly three quarters of participants in a recent Pew Research Center
study said they had read a book in the last year, largely on paper. Of
the more than 1,500 American adults who said they'd read a book in the
last 12 months, nearly two thirds had read a print book. That's more
than twice the number who had read an e-book.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83873.html

Gryphon SVP Eric Esfahanian: Accuracy Is Paramount
It's surprising how much inaccurate data lives in many CRM systems,
observed Eric Esfahanian, SVP of Gryphon Networks. "CRM is naturally a
good source for analytics and sales intelligence if the data that lives
within your CRM is automated, accurate, and something that you can
reliably make decisions from," he said, and the key to accuracy is
automation.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83874.html

That Hissing Sound Is the Last Bit of Air Leaking From Apple's Balloon
Apple used to guard details about a new iPhone more closely than Fort
Knox, but that doesn't seem to be the case any more. The shift has been
glaring with the iPhone 7, slated for introduction on Wednesday. It's
widely believed that the new iPhone has no headphone jack. Sound is
piped to the user through a set of EarPods that connect to the phone
through its Lightning port or a dongle.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83871.html

Google's Russian Android Appeal Falls Flat
A Russian appeals court has rejected Google's appeal of a $6.75 million
fine regulators imposed for anticompetitive behavior -- that is, for
forcing mobile device vendors to put Google Play apps on the main
screens of devices using the Android operating system. The Ninth
Arbitration Appeal Court handed down its ruling last month, confirming
the decision of Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83872.html

Harlequin Romances Customers
I recently read a user story about how Harlequin -- a publisher of
romance novels -- keeps its customers loyal. It has embraced several
ideas that work really well, including emphasizing a consciousness of
customer loyalty, keeping things simple, and focusing on personalizing
relationships and engagement. Consciousness is relatively easy, but
someone high on the org chart has to promote it.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83869.html

Google Fiber's Long, Tough Road Is Full of Twists and Turns
Alphabet has been facing significant roadblocks in expanding Google
Fiber into new U.S. cities, in part due to significant competitive and
legal challenges from incumbent broadband providers like AT&T and
Comcast. The companies currently are embroiled in a dispute over access
to utility poles in Nashville, Tennessee, and the city council is
scheduled to vote Tuesday on a controversial proposal.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83870.html

Feds Warn States to Batten Down Hatches Following Election System Attacks
The FBI has launched investigations into malicious cyberattacks on the
electronic election infrastructures in Illinois and Arizona, and federal
officials last month warned states to take steps to protect their
systems as the presidential campaign heats up, according to reports. The
attacks, dating back to June, led to the illegal download of information
on more than 200,000 Illinois voters.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83866.html

Echo Owners May Get Their Own Kind of Music
Amazon is planning two music subscription services, according to rumors
that began circulating last week. One is a $10 a month offering that is
similar to Spotify and Apple Music, and the other is a $4-$5 a month
cut-rate service available only on Amazon's Echo device. Amazon
reportedly wants to launch both in September, but it has yet to finalize
deals with major music labels and publishers.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83859.html

CFPB Report: Consumers Have Bones to Pick With Banks
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Tuesday released its August
complaint snapshot, which indicates that consumers across the country
have been filing a large number of complaints about access to banking
services. Further, many consumers complained that when they tried to
open new accounts, they were ambushed with negative reports previously
not provided to them.

Gadget Ogling: Smart Desks, New-Wave Gaming, and Roaming Routers
After a long, laborious process and a lot of scraping paint splotches
from the floor, the office space in my new apartment is ready for me,
and I will soon no longer need to write this column from my kitchen
table. So, I'm in the market for a desk. With my nascent interest in
standing desks, the Gaze Desk seems a decent option. It switches between
standing and seated modes with a button press.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83862.html

Obama Warns Against Cyber Cold War
President Obama on Monday urged de-escalation of a potential arms race
involving cyberweapons. The president's remarks followed his meeting
with world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the
G20 Summit in Hangzhou, China. The U.S. has more offensive and defensive
capability than any other country on Earth, Obama noted. The president
urged adoption of new cybersecurity norms.

Dell + EMC: History Is Made
I've been involved in mergers and acquisitions for decades, and I used
to run an acquisition cleanup team while at IBM. I've seen so many bad
acquisitions that it is generally far easier to point out the good ones.
What is somewhat ironic, given my background, is that the best largely
have been executed by Dell, using a process initially developed by IBM.

Sacking Jack May Anger iPhone Headphone Fans
Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak recently said removing the headphone jack
in the next version of the iPhone is going to "tick off a lot of
people." It's been rumored for months that Apple would be scrapping the
3.5 mm headphone jack in the iPhone 7 it's expected to unveil next week.
Such a move, Wozniak said, could upset users who have invested in
listening technology that uses the headphone jack.

FairWare Hackers May Take Ransoms, Keep Stolen Files
The latest ransomware intrusion that targets Linux servers, dubbed
"FairWare," may be a classic server hack designed to bilk money from
victims with no intent to return stolen files after payment in bitcoins
is made. The attack reportedly targets a Linux server, deletes the Web
folder, and then demands a ransom payment of two bitcoins for return of
the stolen files.

Nvidia, Baidu Team on Cloud-to-Car AI Platform
Nvidia and Baidu have agreed to collaborate on the incorporation of
artificial intelligence in a cloud-to-car autonomous vehicle platform,
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said Wednesday. The companies plan to
integrate Baidu's cloud platform and mapping technology with Nvidia's
self-driving computing platform. They also will work together to create
solutions for high-definition maps.

Can Apple Beat Snapchat and Instagram at Their Video Game?
Snapchat and Instagram, look out. Apple has you in its sights. The
company reportedly is working on a video-sharing app with features
similar to those found in Snapchat and Instagram. The app, possibly
slated for release in 2017, will allow users of Apple devices to record
a video, apply filters and draw on it, then share it with others on a
variety of social networks.

Massive Data Breach Puts French Sub Maker in Crosshairs
Officials in France and India are investigating a massive data breach
involving thousands of documents belonging to defense industry
contractor DCNS, which was scheduled to deliver six Scorpene-class
submarines to the Indian navy later this year. Hackers stole more than
22,000 pages of documents that included detailed technical information
on the vessels, some of which was published online.
