When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

how on earth is it a surprise

Clickbait writers have been basically writing that Apple was going to break into your home and stick icepicks through your eardrums to stop you from listening to anything but $500 Beats headphones for the last six months so I can see people that bought into that being surprised.

Yeah, this i'll agree with but :lol: at all the salt in here over a goddamn port when they include lightning earpods and an adapter.
So long as the adapter isn't as flimsy as EarPod cables.

I wanna get AirPods though anyway so who cares.

I thought there were actually a lot of bad DACs out there (motherboard audio for example) and the iPhone had a really good one.

it does use a pretty decent one (wolfson IIRC) but the question is will they use that in the little $19 adapter thing?

Or when full of ear wax.

Six months after people get these things they are going to jam up and play all the time. Go look at your current ear buds.

They should actually do this by packing the dongle in some boxes and the earphone sticks in other boxes, and then watch the masses consume themselves looking for a golden ticket willy wonka style

Those look cool but I hate in ear headphones, I already use bluetooth headphones so the only place i'd need a headphone jack is in the car. Which is where i'd like to charge and also listen.
