Mine last 20 hours on a single charge, Bose 35 and have been out for over a year now, only time I have a problem is international flights over 20 hours.
My daughters "skull Candy over the ear BT headphones go at least 12 hours on a single charge, those were a lot cheaper.

Because crackheads love cash and need it for more crack.

Not made to last..... Wife's iphone 4 STILL WORKS just fine 7 years later.

My HTC ONE M8.... replaced TWICE and then finally died because the battery swelled and cracked the display.
My One X did not last more than 12 months before it started having problems. I have been through 6 android phones in those same 7 years.

I think you dont have a clue at all about iphones and longevity.

I haven't used wired headphones for 3 years now. Bluetooth is so much more convenient and even in my car it's automatically connected.

Honestly, give up the cheap wired things and try the wireless stuff. It's extremely convenient. Both android and iphone are fantastic without wires. there really is no real reason to have to search for a cable to plug in or even dig the phone out of my pocket anymore.

Apple solved this. A stolen iphone is 100% useless on the black market as they cant register it or get into it without the owner releasing it from icloud. And so many people are getting burned on that.

Pawn shops refuse to take an iphone if you can not prove it has been full released and reset. Even the craigslisters are asking for proof that it's released before purchase..... well the ones that have a brain are.

It is just him... Including the fact he has never touched an iphone in his life but acts as if he is an expert.

This. Plus at that price point it will absolutely lose 50% of it's price in the first 120 days. The higher the entry fee the greater the fall on the used market or even the new market after release.

MOST large cities have an income tax.

I don't see rich people fleeing Chicago or NYC.

Sounds like the rich assholes are whining... It is absolutely legal for a city to collect income tax. MANY cities do just that.

It's expensive, Underwhelming, and requires a $2500 PC to run it.
On top of that almost no games support it, and even less software.

Duh, no wonder it is not selling.

Airport security is all theater anyways and designed to indoctrinate americans to accept being inspected and have people carrying automatic weapons around you for your "protection".

we are as safe without all this invasive BS and M16 toting militarized police.

If you think that RED cameras are "obnoxiously expensive" then you have zero clue as to the cost of an Arriflex digital cinema camera.

Yes cameras for cinema should cost more than your econobox car.

Why not simply ban Crap bikes that dont have fuel injection and a Catalytic converter? Modern bikes (if you have carbs your bike is NOT modern, even if you bought it new in 2017) do not pollute very much at all because they now use decent engine systems.

Except it's not happening in Slackware, Debian, or Gentoo..

ubuntu is NOT all linux distros, but simply the only one that is heavily marketed. It doesnt even have the lions share across all linux installs.

That and they have guns, lots of guns. THAT is how you do this and it's how citizens are forced to pay taxes.... you dont, the guys with guns will come and take you away to pay for daring to go against what they want.
