After rolling up singing carpool karaoke with James Corden and Pharrell because millennials love that shit, Apple CEO Tim Cook took the stage at the company’s latest product launch overnight and confirmed the longstanding rumor that Apple was ditching the traditional headphone jack. Instead, users will be able to connect their headphones to their new iPhone 7s via the lightning port. What a time to be alive.

The removal of the old jack has allowed the company to make its latest iPhone thinner and more water resistant, while also improving its battery life. Users with older headphones will still be able to plug in using a lightning port adapter.

Alternatively, you can shill out an extra $229  for Apple’s new rechargeable wireless headphones “airpods”, which basically look exactly like your old headphones but with the chord cut off.

As you might expect, Twitter’s reaction to the new earbuds swift and merciless.
