Eh. Apple's done this before, as Gruber points out, and they basically won. Nobody at this point (at least, that I hear) complains about Lightning cables. Ditching the 3.5mm jack might be a bad idea, but Apple does have a track record of doing this, which is probably why they think they can get away with it now.
- pyre 10y agoWhat did Lightning cables usurp that was as ubiquitous as the 3.5mm audio jack?
