Are you certain that this will let you charge and listen at the same time?

It seems more likely that you would just be able to listen using two lightning headphones at the same time.

bunch of faggots pretending they charge and listen at the same time

>>
>>56513379
First of all, if you actually need to charge your phone every day, you either use it too much or have a shitty phone. I'm charging my 6+ every two or three days and I never even got below 20%. Second of all, literally all external speakers and headphones I use with the phone connect via Bluetooth and have pretty long battery lives. Worst case scenario, I'll have to charge both, phone and speaker at the same time but that never happened. Not even close. And let's face the obvious: if phones, adapters, or decent Bluetooth headphones mean a lot of money to you, you're poor. Just get a different phone and stop acting like you're smarter for having less money.

Imho it will probably drive Apple's comeptition to challange the standard of headphone jacks and make them smaller and improve overall quality.

This is true, but it's about buying houses and cars and $10k watches - not fucking phones and adapters for 40 bucks. I'm not even rich but I don't need to check my bank account let alone save up for that kind of money either and I'll guarantee you that not a single person who complains about Apples pricing can afford a new iPhone w/o doing that.

That highly depends on your type of work. Most people who use their phone are lot are just on Facebook and other social media sites/apps. Viewing pictures and videos all day drowns your battery pretty fast, making the occasional call and writing emails or other text messages not so much. I'd say most hard-working people (who aren't some kind of journalists or in the tech industry) don't have the time or need to look on their phone all day.

Yes, more functional for YOU. Why should *I* care what YOU need? People who like Apple products are likely to hate cables - it's a match made in heaven!

I hate earphones which create a seal, they're uncomfortable and weird, their workaround efforts are dumb too. The EarPod design fits me perfectly, they barely feel like they're there but they fit so snug. Sorry if you have retarded ears. Their Beats headphones use the same internals, however, I cannot defend Beats one bit. I wish Apple would licence the tech it uses to real headphone brands.

>I'm hoping this isn't a slippery slide for all phone manufacturers...
Vain hope. Most phone makers copy Apple's every move. Google moved from copying the Blackberry's design as soon as the first iPhone appeared. Just look at the reference designs.

>It's officially $40 to charge your phone and listen to something at the same time.
No. With this adaptor your buy the POSSIBILITY to listen and charge at the same time for 40$.
The Adaptor for 3.5mm costs probably 40$, too.

>oy vey, you have to chose between spending 80$ on adaptors to carry around
>or buying 160$ airCucks that give you 5 hourse of playback time for 160$

Same price in France.
This means 200$.
Where are those 40$ going to? Programs to teach muslims not to rape and kill?

>"People who like Apple products are likely to hate cables - it's a match made in heaven!"

That's why they're forcing an adapter cable for 2 additional cable utilities, adding up to 3 cables instead of 2, right?
