New iPhone might finally survive getting dropped in the toilet

The biggest news at Apple’s iPhone 7 product launch on Wednesday wasn’t about what’s in, but rather, what’s out.
The latest version of the iPhone will be entering a brave new wireless world — without a standard headphone jack.
Apple called the move courageous, while Twitter and other online critics quickly let out a collective groan.
“The reason to move on: courage,” insisted Apple executive Phil Schiller during the presentation. “The courage to move on and do something new that betters all of us.”
The new, sleeker model — which is water and dust resistant — will come with special headphones that fit into the device’s Lightning connection port, which in past models was solely the charging port.

But the tech giant hopes users will splurge on its new wireless earbuds, called Apple AirPods, which require charging and will cost an extra $159 when they become available in late October.
“We do have a vision for how audio should work on mobile devices: wireless,” said Schiller. “No one has taken this on and made it easy.”
Apple fans who want to use their current headphones will have to plug them into an adapter that will come with each device.
“I don’t even own the new iPhone yet but I can guarantee you I have already lost one of my AirPod ear buds,” “Modern Family” actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson tweeted.
Less controversial announcements included much-improved cameras for both the iPhone 7 and the larger iPhone 7 Plus.
The Plus will have a dual-camera system on the back that takes sharper images and has better zoom capabilities thanks to a wide-angle and telephoto lens.
Both phones, which now also come in a glossy black color, have slightly longer battery lives and stereo speakers, the company said. The phone’s home button is changing, too, with a 3-D Touch feature that performs different tasks depending on how hard users press on it.
