I was going to laugh so hard if they would have sold the adapter for $29.99.

NO applaus for the removal of the headphone jack. The adapter being included with the iPhone is a surprise though, and makes it at least acceptable.

gently caress the lightning audio connector. I charge and use headphones a lot, and gently caress using dongle connectors that will break.

So this is actually a really ballsy move, not for the better but maybe not for the total worst? It'll be super interesting to see how the next year plays out.
