have you seen the macbook? take a wild guess. bonus points: passive usb hub accessory for iphone

but also, who listens to their phone while it's plugged in to a charger? that just seems awkward.

the decline is caused by the international currency exchange rates being extremely bad.

the iPhone effectively got a huge price hike worldwide

they're not the worst they've been in 13 years

it may account for a fraction of the decline, but the rest is right down to tim's poor leadership

citing currency concerns is rationalization #1 for companies that are struggling

wireless charging, smart connector charging and wireless headphones all negate this

but it could be the case that for a few years the lower-end models of the iPhone effectively don't allow charging while listening.

i imagine the wireless headphones will be an extra $99 and any smart connector device will also be sold separately

there are a lot of tech that can make tn screen better and the one in mba is as good as it get and almost comparable to the ips panels in certain metrics eg. contrast ratio beating the older ips 15" mbp and delta e of ~2.3 compare to 1.95 on the 13" rmbp

they switched from firewire to 30pin/usb in 2003 when 2.0 had good adoption and didn't suck poo poo like 1.0/1.1 did. they did the 30-pin because USB is limited as all hell and the 30pin served them well. that ran until 2012 when lightning was created because 30pin caused form factor issues and the rest of the industry once again did not have a solution that sucked poo poo. the USB consortium finally pulled their heads out of their asses and started making connectors that are worth a poo poo, primarily under pressure from apple because they had been making things that actually worked for over ten years prior. same deal with magsafe, came out in 2006 because the industry connectors were garbage and it finally got addressed with USB-c. it's not a conspiracy and none of this was done arbitrarily. you're just an idiot.
