Apple. No other company has so much control of the American psyche as much as this one, little tech company. I mean who even knew they needed--much less wanted--their entire lives to be on their cellphone?

For years, Apple has been telling us what we needed in a phone, whether that was an entire computer or Siri. And now it seems they may have gone too far. As soon as word got out the the iPhone 7 may or may not have a headphone jack, the entire world lost its collective mind.

How dare one company tell us that we're no longer allowed to have wires on our earbuds or headphone. Well they did. At first, I was just as outraged as the rest of the world. I made my vows to never upgrade above an iPhone 6 plus--well we all know how that turned out.

So how did I come to pre-order one of the most controversial technological advances of this year? I wish I could say it's because I did research and realized that I just couldn't pass up an incredibly efficient and helpful machine, but I can't.

In reality, I had an upgrade (so it was going to be free), and I just wanted to be able to say I had the latest and hated greatest in cellphones. Plus those stupid Airpods or whatever they're called--and the adaptor for non-wireless headphones--come with the phone.

So not really a spiritual journey, just a convenient one. In the end, there's no point to this story and I've officially sold my soul to Apple.
