They do care, but Apple has a monopoly on making MacOS hardware and people are unable to “vote with their wallet”. Same thing with iPhones and the headphone jack.
- threeseed 8y agoYou can buy a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter off eBay for $2. And not sure if you've looked around your particular city but most people are using wireless headphones these days.
- swah 8y agoThough on that front I feel like they did the Appleish thing: had an excuse to remove the jack (waterproofing), moved the industry in the direction they wanted, released a product that everyone loves (AirPods).
- sundvor 8y agoThat excuse doesn't really hold water though. The S10 still has it, and is arguably every bit as "killer" as the new iPhones. It's more like cost cutting / engineering laziness dressed up as being progressive.
