remember when apple had a product that nicely sidestepped all of these issues by being a high-quality display with a built in dock that eliminated the need for all this bullshit? man, it's a good thing they didn't take that one out back and shoot it, huh?

apple's problem is that they don't really believe in usb-c. they don't provide any usb-c peripherals, only adapters to other ports. at least when they ditched everything but usb you could actually use an apple computer with only usb peripherals by purchasing directly from apple. you can't do that with usb-c

idgi why these dongles are so ugly and huge. they could literally be small and elegant but instead they're super long and look like they've been copy pasted from the same blueprint. the way these dongles look is awful

the lightning connector is physically smaller than USB-C. plus, right now, people tend to have a couple lightning cables lying around. not so for USB-C yet.

bose is mostly good thanks QC headphones = prozone Accoustimass sub>speaker cube sets = prozone for applications that call for them i have their big bluetooth speaker too, its quite ok for what it is, but prolly could have sufficed with cheaper from alt brand and had a more bangin bro experience, the bose one is good for bedside poo poo tho which is where it lives for me gotta say out of everything the quietcomfort 35 headphones are just the best piece of kit i have at any price from any brand right now, hands down

qirex posted:because many of you are actual children I'll just share that this is p much exactly the response when apple released the imac with only usb 20 years ago the imac had lots of useful ports, though. they just removed serial/parallel. all the other normal ports were still there.  meanwhile, in 2016, apple is selling a $4,000 laptop with four usb ports and a 3.5mm jack. (i guess we should be grateful they lacked the courage to remove the 3.5mm jack.)

they should at least give you 4 free usb-c -> usb-a adapters in the god drat box considering you're dropping 4 grand on a laptop, they at least gave iphone 7 users a free 3.5 mm adapter but when they don't even give you the extension cord for the power adapter without shelling out $19 now, lol
