I don't think that changes the point. The parent is saying that there's a difference between dropping a universal standard in favor of a closed standard.

- melling 10y agoThere's a legacy connector in every box. All your legacy headphones still work. Apple didn't want to add an additional port and they can't exactly switch to usb-c at this point. In 3 years when all other phone makers drop the headphone jack for usb-c, can we get a lightning to usb-c?
