7 Reason Why the iPhone 7 Failed to Meet Expectations

With the release of Apple's "new" iPhone 7 this week came much hate. The only question is: Why has the iPhone 7 failed to meet expectations?


1) Removed the headphone jack

One of the controversial changes to the new iPhone was the removal of the headphone jack. Although Apple has alternatives to the use of headphones, many say methods such as using lightning headphones inhibit the ability to charge and the new wireless headphones can easily be lost.

2) Removal of certain sizes

Now the smallest storage capacity for an iPhone is 32 GB even though the 16 GB one is enough storage for some. And if someone wishes to purchase the Jet Black iPhone, they are forced to purchase a 128 GB or 256 GB model.

3) Better battery but still lacking

Although compared to previous models the iPhone 7 has a better battery life, it is still unimpressive and dies much quicker than many other competitor phones.

4) Same base design

Many have critiqued the similarity between the brand new iPhone and the previous models. Not much has changed and will probably not change for a while.

5) Better camera

The new iPhone may have a better camera but did anyone want one? Previous iPhone cameras were already spectacular and an upgraded one just takes up time that could've been used for other features.

6) Being waterproof

Okay, I'll admit that being waterproof is a nice feature, but it should be listed for protecting the phone, not a feature. This only makes people think they can submerge their phone underwater without a care in the world.

7) Better processor

Why would Apple waste even more time on using a new processor? I still have an iPhone 5 that hasn't lost any performance and works like a charm.


All in all the iPhone 7 is a big disappointment that brings little "new" features to the table, but being an iPhone, it will still be sold in millions and Apple won't care at all.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
