Interesting - I thought they would know that anyway, as OS X should realize when I plug in a headphone.
If Apple's vision is a world without wires, I'm all for it given the mess of wires on my desk.
- kalleboo 10y agoThis isn't Microsoft, they don't upload your usage habits to the mothership. Even on iOS which does some of that it's a super-clear opt-in on first launch.
- ekianjo 10y agoDoesn't iTunes upload users' habits to the mothership ? I would be very surprised if they did not.
- UVB-76 10y agoObviously if you are buying items from the iTunes Store, or using Apple Music, they are tracking those transactions and your listening habits. If you are listening to your own music locally, iTunes does not phone home on your usage.
- barrkel 10y agoIt's only displacement of wires, though. You'll need more wires to charge all your wireless devices. For example, I still use a wired mouse because it never stops working. I use wired headphones with my work laptop and home desktop because I never have to hear those fatal words "Battery Low!" just when I want to settle in and focus on something for the next few hours.

- AstralStorm 10y agoMore like charger mouse pad. Does not help with Bluetooth headphones, you'd need a wired charging headband or something.

- hobarrera 10y agoYeah, but I have the mouse charger at home and use it once every 10-14 days. The rest of the time, it's one less cable, including on the road. Not to mention that cable in mice are extremely annoying during usage.
- drivingmenuts 10y agoI use wired devices on my desktop, where possible. The fewer batteries going to the landfill, the better. Rechargeable batteries are a real crapshoot, since I'm prone to recharging them overnight, when not in use, thereby shortening their lifespan (and it's a major PITA to figure out which ones suffer from that and which ones don't).
