Live on stage during Samsung’s introduction event for the Galaxy Note 7:

You want to know what else it comes with? An audio jack. (Audience laughs.) I’m just saying.

You have to watch it to see just how smug he is about it. Merits of the decision to remove the headphone jack from next month’s new iPhones aside, think about how extraordinary it is that a Samsung executive can make a joke about an iPhone rumor and the entire audience gets it.

Also, how much says Samsung has new phones with no audio jack on the market by this time next year?
