Instant iPhone 7: Just add plug

"Fill in your archaic headphone connector with beautiful aluminium and plug yourself into the future."

Sean Hollister Senior Editor / Reviews
When his parents denied him a Super NES, he got mad. When they traded a prize Sega Genesis for a 2400 baud modem, he got even. Years of Internet shareware, eBay'd possessions and video game testing jobs after that, he joined Engadget. He helped found The Verge, and later served as Gizmodo's reviews editor. When he's not madly testing laptops, apps, virtual reality experiences, and whatever new gadget will supposedly change the world, he likes to kick back with some games, a good Nerf blaster, and a bottle of Tejava.

You look down at your iPhone.

Gosh, it's so out of date.

Yesterday, Apple announced the beautiful new iPhone 7. At first, you thought you could wait. After all, you've already got a perfectly good iPhone 6S/6S Plus/6 Plus/6, and the iPhone 7 looks identical!

Then, you saw the gaping hole in the bottom of your phone. The one that he-who-pronounces-aluminum-properly saw fit to fill. One glance, and your trendy friends would see through your meager attempts at deception.

But there's no need to spend next month's rent on an iPhone 7 to hide your shame.

That's what Apple Plug is for.

One little sliver of that same aluminium, and your worries are gone.
