"A fool and his money are easily parted..."
He could've easily purchased a previous gen MBP with magsafe and USB-A, and let the USB-C sort it's self out over time. But hay, had to go with latest/greatest devices with no ports and requiring a bunch of adapters/dongles.
I really hope Apple's "courage" comes to bite them in the ass on this, and they at least bring back one USB-A, 3.5mm headphone jack, and magsafe.
- jonny_eh 9y agoThe 3.5mm jack is still on all their laptops. But I guess you're referring to the iPhone. In which case I agree, bring it back!
- toomuchtodo 9y agoStick with a 6S, no regrets versus the 7, 8, or X.
- idkanything 9y agoYes, sorry, was referring to the phones. I can't count how many times I've dropped my headphones on an airplane (or they've slipped off when doing something physical), and I'm easily able to retrieve them by grabbing the cord. Can't imagine dropping an airpod bud on the plane, then having to try and figure out where it rolled. Also, there are times when my bose headphones have died, and at least I've been able to use the free shitty ones they hand out.
- jonny_eh 9y agoWireless Bose headphones also have a 3.5mm fallback, which is only useful if your phone supports it, or you have a shudder dongle.
- m_mueller 9y agoOnly on used market though, last I looked Apple even removed their gimpy 8GB version of the 2015 MBP. Why don't they keep producing maxed out versions of both 13 and 15 inch (16GB / 512GB SSD) to pave over the issues people have?
- idkanything 9y agoNot true, you can still get new of the "older versions" online and in the apple stores. (was just there a few days ago) https://www.apple.com/mac/compare/ https://www.apple.com/mac/compare/
- m_mueller 9y agoAt least on the page you linked, if I compare all the 13inch models I only get the USB-C ones.
