Based on all this info all I've gathered is, I already lose my corded ear buds and only find them cause I see part of the long string, I would never survive having to charge them. I was in and out of airports for 8 hours of the day the other day and my corded ones don't run out of charge. And speaking of, jet blue gave us free corded ones on the plane to use with the in flight entertainment which required corded earpiece. Furthermore, thinking back to my apt last year (and many other people's apt) our sound system required you to plug in with a cord, this isn't uncommon and I'd want to say the majority of people still run this and plenty of college students, so you know, that's a big disadvantage too. Not to mention they're expensive. Also at work we plug our phone in to the main speaker system and play music that way. And actually I think so does Billy jacks downtown hburg, they have a phone plugged in by the bar running Pandora. So basically the 7 would be a bad phone for me, college students and most people who don't have the money to Bluetooth everything they encounter. I can come up with so many scenarios where no port only makes inconvenience and locks out so much other tech/uses. Like Ken said, providing the port and having wireless would have been the smart way. Keep your supporters and "advance technology" or whatever. As it seems now they're really just going for money.
