Others, like losing the headphone jack on the new iPhone 7 or ditching the old USB on the new MacBook have created a bit more of an uproar among users that aren’t psyched about needing a dongle on-hand at all times to connect their device to things they need.īut even with the death of the headphone jack, Apple was making a broader declaration that it believed most headphone manufacturers would soon be adopting bluetooth and designing wireless headphones. Most have made a lot of sense, generally when the company was retiring the proprietary standards that it was largely the only one pushing.
Complaining about Apple sacrificing existing consumer needs in terms of connection types is getting pretty tiring.
