OP cant even properly make fun of apple

>>56501566
cool dude, I can't wait to have a fucking tumor hanging off my phone every time I want to listen to music.

>>56502311
The whole point is the belkin accessory allows you to charge it at the same time, Jesus christ you fucking idiot.

>>56502311
yea, because having to carry around an extra cable makes tons of sense! gotta keep that extra cable in your pocket at all times and cant use a power bank while listening to music, but it's all totally worth it, right???

>>56502311
Meanwhile owners of previous versions of the iphone as well as basically every other smartphone brand can just use the hand included headphone jack. The free usb/lightening port can be used to charge with no additional donglers required

>>56502354
It's fine brah just pay $160 for wireless earbuds

>>56502488
ill just stick electric toothbushes in my ears, they will look the same and sound better while being half the price.

>>56502264
I want to see it with the USB cord in as well, just to see how much of a monstrosity it really is

>>56501638
Jobs would have never allowed this. If he were still around they would have either offered no adapter or kept the 3.5 jack. The adapter shows that the current leadership at Apple have no idea what they are doing and lack the commitment and drive to make tough decisions.

BTW proprietary connectors like lightning are bullshit. How do they plan on supporting the new style headphones on current hardware like the MacBook 12in that don't have a lightning connection? Do they expect people to buy adapters.

How they shoulda phased it out

1. this generation of iphone comes with lightning headphones but still has a traditional port
2. next generation of macbook & other apple comes with lightning connector & headphones
3. now that every mac product supports this and all the macfags have a few compatible headphones and adapters, THEN start to phase it out on the NEXT model

>>56503806
but that would take longer and wouldnt make them as much money lol

>$40
So... why not just buy the dock then? It also has 3.5mm headphone jack.

>>56503806
So much this. I'm not a fan of phasing out 3.5mm, but this decision to remove the port before they have even established the lightning port as a headphone jack is fucking ridiculous.

>>56503806
Good idea. But, I still think that there is no good reason to do this. Consumers will have to decide between 3.5 and lightning when they want to buy their new Bose headphones, and figure out which hardware in their home supports which standard. But, in reality only Apple products will be supporting lightning because other manufacturers wont want to pay to license lightning technology from Apple.

>>56503806
>implying they're not going to change to usb-c

>>56501638
Gold

>buying headphones without detachable wires

>>56503919
Everyone else but Apple will switch to USB-C, Apple will be stuck with lightning for a while.

>>56503959
we need to see this with the cords laying realistically, not coiled perfectly. you just pulled your earphones out of your pocket and the dongle has been sitting in your car getting pushed around for a few months. what a fucking mess

good job

>>56503990
If I were belkin, it would only be possible to charge it through one of the ports, with some little marking showing which port that is.

You will be labelled as "Enemy of Humanity" by Apple
then thrown into Mount Doom from whence you came.

>>56503990
I think it would probably do nothing. Worst case it might cause a short and blow one or both of the chargers to hell, possibly phone included.

I almost expect apple to drop lightning around the time of the 7s or 8. Now USB-C is around they have no excuse not to use it besides being proprietary for proprietaries sake.

Plus Apple's computes are shifting to the standard, it'd make a lot of sense.

EVERYBODY STAND BACK

why are people even pretending that this is necessary? literally how many of you faggots listen to music on your phone while you're charging it?

scenario A - you're sitting next to a wall outlet with your device plugged into the 12 in charging cable apple provides, or perhaps you've gotten an extension cord rigged to it so you can walk around the room.

scenario B - you're charging it on your laptop, which literally has all the same music as what's on your device, unless you're streaming, which you can also do on your computer

you faggots will literally complain about everything.

I might as well let an m80 off on my phone

>>56504037

Your argument goes both ways.

I've been using a Belkin charger for 5 years with no issues

>>56504293
>being proprietary for proprietaries sake
But that's exactly what they want to do. Apple using a standard port on the iPhone? Blasphemy!

>>56504413

I think Jobs would actually throttle Cook at this point. He's been dead for five years and Apple has already turned right back into what it was in the 90s.

Is this supposed to be the one port-dongle age for Apple?

This can't be what Steve wanted.
