Not for me
And I like Apple kit and have an iPhone 7.
However I like Etymotic earphones so if I'm going to splash cash that's what I will buy. I'm also suspicious about the sound quality of Apple headphones. After all they bought Beats and Beats sound awful.
Despite the loud complaints, losing the 3.5mm socket is not a big deal. There's an adapter in the box. My earphones work with my iPhone. If I want to charge my phone and listen on headphones at the same time (but why?) I can do that with one of the pass-through third party adapters.
Go, admit it, there are lots of complainers who (a) don't have an iPhone (b) will never have an iPhone and, I suspect, (c) can't afford one.
There's a tale about that, written 2,600 years ago by a chap names Aesop.
The Fox and the Grapes
ONE hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. “Just the things to quench my thirst,” quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: “I am sure they are sour.”
Moral: “IT IS EASY TO DESPISE WHAT YOU CANNOT GET.”
