In the last two hours, I used a 3.5mm connector to connect my iPhone to my car AUX, my headphones to my iPhone, my headphones to an iMac and my headphones to my MBP. With Apple's brilliant move, all will be negatively impacted.
Do you know that last time I used a floppy in my mac, before apple removed it? About a year. Do you know the last time I used s CD/DVD in my MAc, before apple removed that? 2 months.
This move is not being asked for. And you Apple fanbois could already do whatever you are salivating over, with this idiotic upcoming move.
Screwing over customers to sell high priced adapters and proprietary peripherals - Apple, the new Sony!!!
Because there was no other solution. That's why you've used it so much. For every other peripheral on any device advancements have made most in time obsolete. That's what happens when we innovate. in what other category do we demand plugs or anything else stay the same except for maybe the wall plug?
Petty, ignorant and insipid are the voices decrying the change. Buy a two dollar adopter if it matters that much to you already.
You cannot and should not get in the way of technological advancements. It's evolution; those who can adopt and thrive in existing environment win. Those who don't, lose. Or there is stagnation which is just as bad.
Who knows? Apple's solution may may flop and things go back to normal. But a company has to at least try and innovate when it thinks it benefits them. Or else they go the way of Blackberry and others.
Instead of bitching about something so innocuous, applaud them for taking a chance.
If they fail you can laugh and say "I told you so"
If it's a better solution we all win.
Simple as that.
