I said "about" but I should have clarified I meant only corded headphones. I've never actually seen a USB-C pair of headphones out in the wild, only one lightning pair and I think it was Beats. > 2. It's disingenuous to claim it "won't work" with the headphones. Does it need an adapter? Yes. Is that annoying? Slightly. But they absolutely will work. Maybe? USB-C is mostly standardized but not necessarily the protocols each type of device uses. Granted hopefully all headphones are the same but it's technically possible some headphones could use a different protocol making it not work with everything. Maybe I'm just projecting my bias with the issues of HDMI <-> USB-C. > Again... have a little patience [...] but to pretend like it's not going to happen is silly I never pretended it wouldn't and I would LIKE it to happen. The problem is, right now the user experience kinda sucks with adapters and trying to find a pair that you want and can work with your device if you lack a headphone jack. Personally, I just don't want to deal with any of that which is why I either use bluetooth headphones or only buy phones with 3.5mm plugs I hope you're right with the 18 months I just find the rush to get devices to ONLY USB-C while accessories are almost non existent a bit premature. Again, think of the UX here especially with people who are not technical savvy. This is not super straight forward...yet.
