just once it would be nice if people didn't have a stroke when apple switches to a new technology. i mean there is a lot historically to suggest they know what they're doing and have good intentions.

but perhaps all the controversy is a benefit since more people hear about it, and those who understand the change may end up buying it.

lol yes giant megacorp has good intentions to free us from the world of standard headphones we can use with other things and doesn't just want to sell a bunch of dongles lol

of course they have a blacklist. not only that but they only invite groups that give them positive coverage to their events. like that's pr 101

tbf you need to amortize the cost by the amount of time it'll be worth keeping it around without replacing it

my calculator tells me this value is infinity so you're getting a bargain at 879 euros
