How Apple's iPhone will continue to change the smartphone industry

The Future of Phones

Apple has always had a way of setting trends. It started in the early days of computers with the Macintosh II 1987 and continued with the iPod and still pioneers today with every new addition of the iPhone. However, their latest new "thing", expected to be released with the iPhone 7, may be a bit far fetched. They've abolished the headphone jack.

Instead of traditional, old-fashioned head phones, iPhone now must be used with wireless Bluetooth headphones, and the version Apple has created are called "Air Pods" and they look absolutely ridiculous. It's OK though, because once you inevitably lose the tiny cordless ear buds, they can be easily replaced for the low price of $159.99!

Of course, they say history repeats itself, and I have no doubt that by the time the iPhone 7 is released, everyone will be scrambling for some wireless, over-priced, immediately lost, Bluetooth headphones. So, in preparation of Apple setting new trends and changing the industry year after year, I've decided to look ahead and predict what kind of new trends they may be setting in the future.

iPhone 7s- Literally the exact same thing as the iPhone 7..... but bigger!

iPhone 8- The iPhone is without a doubt the most advanced piece of technology on the market, but it still has a screen that breaks if the light hits it just right. To fix this, Apple has removed the screen entirely. Nobody knows how to use it, as it is just a solid, beautifully crafted piece of metal with a home button and a selfie camera.

iPhone 8s- Since nobody can use their iPhone 8 without a screen, the iPhone 8s has a separate screen that you can buy called the Air Screen that syncs to your useless piece of metal via Bluetooth. Air Screen is sold separate for $299.99!

iPhone 9- They've added the screen back, but now have decided to tackle the issue of poor battery life. They've done this by removing the battery. The phone is now powered by swiping your credit card repeatedly.

iPhone 9s- With the screen and battery life issues dealt with, there's only one problem left. Consumers complain of constantly losing their convenient, wireless, Bluetooth headphones! To fix this, Apple has once again changed the industry by introducing the new, innovative Air Wire. The Air Wire is a chord that not only connects the two Air Pods together, but also connects them to a hole in your phone. Not only that, but the phone is now able to power and send signal to the Air Pods themselves, completely doing away with the need for Bluetooth connectivity! Just plug them in and go!

The future really is an exciting place, isn't it?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
