It'll Cost You £49 To Listen To Music And Charge Your iPhone 7 Simultaneously

Well that escalated quickly.

It's hard to imagine life without my iPhone. Even if that means I have to live the last week of every month on beans on toast to be able to afford my bill. If all future models require you to fork out an extra £49 just so you can listen to your music and charge it at the same time, though, I think I'll have to start looking at changing up devices.

Apple's decision to drop the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 means it's now impossible to do both at the same time as there is only one port.

Basically, if you're listening to music with headphones, the Lightning port will be occupied, meaning you can't plug in the charging cable. You with me?

I know what you're thinking - what a fucking stupid idea that was. However, the only way around the problem is to buy an Apple Lighting Dock. CHA-CHING! Not that daft are they?

In its defence, the tech giants are keen for people to start wireless headphones so that's the reason it's designed this way. But I for one think the world would have preferred it if they'd have left the earphones alone and focused on the real problems, such as the fact their screens crack easier than a fucking egg.

The dock costs £49 and is available to order online now. It's the same dock that Apple sold with the 6s but not it's also available in black. Which is a coincidence because that's the same colour as my soul which just so happens to be as empty as my bank account, no thanks to these robbing bastards.
