Hiawatha Bray Talks Tech: The iPhone's Wireless Future

The big story from the world of technology this week comes down to three words: no headphone jack. It's a seismic shift in the world of smartphones, or so Apple wants you to believe.

The company rolled out its new iPhone 7 this week. At Wednesday's event, Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller said the reason to move on from the analog headphone jack was, "Courage. The courage to move on, do something new that betters all of us."
