aple is testing how gullible the market is for this type of things for years.
I can plug my asus devices direct to a vga or hdmi projector. for apple I need a external plug. then the same for network. then the same for SD cards, I need a special shorter one. then for 3.5mm phone jacks, for apple I ned one with COMM in the MIC pin and vice versa. etc.
the market was always gullible to all that and they know it. so they will continue with the trend until the money flow stops.
- eddieroger 10y agoHow are you attributing gullibility to market demand? Maybe Apple dropped the VGA port because their customers didn't need them anymore, and HDMI is prevalent almost everywhere now, so that's suitable. Also, I have an HDMI port on my MacBook, so I don't need an external plug. On the smaller ones, sure, but maybe those users rarely, if ever, connect? I'm not a huge fan of needing a dongle to do this stuff, but for the infrequency with which I need to do it, I don't mind having the dongle if the trade off is a lighter machine the rest of the time. Maybe that makes me gullible.
