IR Blaster on S7?

Was ready to upgrade from S6 to S7, reading conflicting report they ditched the IR Blaster? Can I get a confirmation? A deal breaker for a media/home automation guru.

There is no IR blaster.

They dropped the IR port from the high-end phones as of the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ last year. It didn't return on the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. I think Samsung's done with that.

Thanks, I think I'll be hanging on to my S6 for awhile, it may be the last with the IR blaster. Controlling almost a dozen components now with "sure remote" app.
