If you're into Apple you're going to need adapters. When you work at a large IT department you quickly realize that adapters are one of their main revenue sources.

Not only is the adapter gone, but the same 5W charger and USB-A cable at the same price as last year's model (and $100 more for the Plus model).
The rumors set us up for disappointment this year.

At least I do for audio in my car. My car does Bluetooth, but only for call audio. Media audio profile is missing and I have to use an aux cable for that.
Why would they? They want to sell more AirPods! I usually never criticize Apple but this is just a disgrace! I was even one of the few that actually loved the TB MBP from the beginning keyboard and all.
Bootes must have missed the sign that reads "Site for Apple fans and Apple product users only. Everyone else keep out"
Look the phones are so inexpensive Apple cant afford to include the 3.5mm adapter cable anymore.
Yeah, amen! I hate it when companies keep including stuff that they included before. I want to have to pay extra to buy one separately!
Yeah, I still laugh at people who use the wheel. Thats aincient tech. Morons.
P.s. Loving the irony of your post.
lmao man I must have read wrong when I thought they were going 899 for the 64 Xs and 999 for the Xs max
Probably not a lot since most folks go wireless or use the earphones that come with the iPhone.
I won't be paying a cent extra. It's unneeded. It comes with headphones that work perfectly and I have several wireless models I can also use. Why would I want to legacy dongle? it's waste for most people. But it gives the negative nellies and apple haters something to crow about
Not when you forget to charge it, or the signal drops out occasionally for seemingly no reason. I've experienced both these frustrations with the AirPods at some point, though I agree that going wireless has some benefits as well.
Which still works, works with everything else on the planet including...oh, Apple's own computers and iPads. But that's okay, it's a free market, and people will register their vote accordingly. Judging by Apple's top and bottom lines the last few years, they already are.
But yet you keep throwing your money at them according to that Apple line up you have
I've only had my Beats X dropout maybe 3 times since I got them back when the 7 Plus came out. Once and a while I may forget to charge them but they charge so quickly. I can usually charge them for about 5 minutes before heading out of work and they last my subway ride home.
Not being tethered to my phone makes it worth it for me.
Plus I can walk around at home on a call and leave my phone in the other room.
Well, def not this year! LOLBut yet you keep throwing your money at them according to that Apple line up you have
