    Apple's new waterproof and wireless iPhone 7 with NO headphone jack and a dual camera is unveiled

    You just know that people are gonna be calling their lil friends from the lineup...texting from the lineup to get there asap cause it's good...sitting in the lineup talking with their friends & describing their last drop-in or, worse, chattering away about nothing.......

    This could be worse than phones on airplanes.

    Maybe. Seems like you gotta be either very rich or nuts to take such an expensive phone out into the ocean.

    Also seems like most of us like to be out there to disoconnect from modern life

    I hope you're wrong!

    LOL

    It's amazing how connected folks are to their phones.

    I paint stripe parking lots, mostly in apartment complexes. I see people all the time talking on their phones as they nearly run me over. A few nice ones realize what they just did, and apologize. Most just give me that look of "Hey! I'm F***ING IMPORTANT HERE! Can't you see I'm on the PHONE! Get off my planet."

    Is that gig therapeutic like vacuuming or monotonous like assembling an ikea table?

    Well, it will not be long before a board maker makes a little compartment in the board into which you place the iPhone, and connect it to the speakers, also glassed in. That way, the whole lineup can know how important the owner is......

    Absolutely.

    I don't wanna worry about the outside or know nothing from nobody while I'm out in the ocean. Unless I'm sharing a session with some friends. Anybody outside the ocean though, don't wanna hear from while surfing and definitely don't wanna use a phone whole out there surfing, that's for sure.

    It pays the very few bills I have so I can live a few blocks from the surf.

    The logical progression would be the waterproof watch-phone or the phone mounting system in a board. Similar to go pro. Maybe the camera will take the place of a go pro in time.

    They have those waterproof cases out for a while now. Haven't seen too many being used by people surfing.

    Waterproof cameras are just inviting people to come out and take pictures when they should be on the beach or home killing themselves

    This = "Sorry bro i didn't hear you alerting me I was dropping in, I was on my I phone 7....." ....................................................... Anyone seen in the surf with a phone shall be beaten with a bluefish then their phone shall be taken and given a proper burial at sea.

    I'm gonna take a selfie of me surfing the Belmar and post it on here...

    Is this new iPhone 9 impact resistant? Would it hold up to the heavy, ledgy waves at the Belmar?
