Headphones aren't a niche geek thing, though. Apple bought a company that sold millions of wired headphones and successfully marketed them as trendy fashion items.
When Apple sees kids walking around with Beats headphones, what device do they think it's plugged into? It's all smartphones.
- rimantas 10y agoOk for most of those who do not use Apple headphones adapter provided will solve their problem. So those who still have the problem are: those who have gazillion headphones and use them all; those whose cars for some reason don't have USB connection; and those who like to charge the phone while listening to the music.
