Get used to it if you fly WJ. As others have said, they don't intend on putting IFE into the back of each seat. You can rent an ipad or supposedly connect your own. Same with the AC "Rouge" carrier. Although the last time I flew them their system wouldn't recognize my wife's ipad, and I won't pay to rent one.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note4 with a 16GB memory card. Anytime I fly somewhere I make sure that it's loaded up with a few TV shows and a couple movies. This way you don't have to bother with constant passenger announcements, and you can have your ear buds (note: BUDS not headphones) plugged in on takeoff and landing.
I don't need an ipad or laptop, and the HD screen on my phone works as good as any IFE system I've seen.
I've also noticed on Delta flights that if you connect to their wifi, and go through some of the registration process (go to the page without paying for wifi) your email works. It's weird, but I'm 50/50 on getting free email in-flight.
