it wouldn't surprise me if the new iphone had two lightning ports, specifically to shut people up who want to charge and listen at the same time

the ostensible reason to delete the headphone port is to make the phone thinner.

the socket for the lightning port is thinner. so, instead of 1x 3.5mm and 1x lightning, you get 2x lightning. presumably one on top, one on bottom.

be cool if they let you double up on charging that way too, that way all these loving music addicts can maybe find a 30 minute window where they dont have to keep their phone strapped to a charger to peep those sick new vampire weekend beats

you can only charge on one of them though. one input, one output.

who goes around asking for a sim ejector tool? how often are you swapping sims around? are you one of those poors who switches prepaid plans every other month to save an extra $1?

ranting about "poors" doesn't change the fact that people always lose it and ask to borrow one when they need it, unless you somehow live an existence lacking family, friends, and co-workers. poors, amirite? cattes. tim‏‏b. cosbycoin.

i've literally never been asked for a sim ejector tool (whereas i've been asked for chargers of various types). most people never change sims and if they do, it's because their died so they went to an apple/carrier store, or they're switching phones, in which case the new one likely has a sim ejector tool they'll use once then never need again until they get another phone

it's fascinating how nerds are fixated on the frequency of their use of a sim ejector tool. like, the point was that it's another thing that comes boxed with the iphone that people don't hang on to

if they're not going to have two lightning ports then they must be planning to do wireless charging

i just can't imagine they're gonna release an iphone that won't simultaneously charge and play wired audio. that's just crazy

using an external drive is an obscure corner case

charging and playing at the same time is a thing that every ipod ever has needed to do

a paperclip will work, which is why it's a useless thing shipped in the box and the comparison to past phones is dumb

vampire weekend is effectively un-listenable to me because every car I plug my phone into a car A-Punk starts playing due to the fact that 90% of vehicle have the same garbage iPod playback software that was thrown together in 2003 when some product manager demanded that they immediately support this new iPod thing that people are somehow choosing over superior MP3 players that just expose the raw filesystem like god intended.

Every time I turn the ignition, it thinks I want to start playing Song #1 of 18,667. Bluetooth solves this problem, thus marking the only time in history when a wireless connection was superior to a wired one.

lovely paperclips will bend/gently caress up though, and the larger ones that wont bend so easily wont fit in the hole
