I held out as well until the 13 Mini. I still use my OG SE as a media device, since it has a headphone jack.

- zeckalpha 5y agoThere’s a lightning to 1/8” dongle for that
- amanzi 5y agoMy daughter has broken 3 of these in the last couple weeks. Also, you can't charge the device and listen to music at the same time (unless you buy that extra dongle).
- wanderer_ 5y agoAnyone who can retain their dignity while also using something called a dongle can probably do anything.
- wwweston 5y agoFor almost 4 decades 1/8" was a "just works" standard for interfacing consumer audio output from electronics. No fuss. More reliable than airpod pairing. Doesn't rely on battery life. No latency issues. Interference vanishingly rare. Yeah, I can buy a dongle. Maybe I will someday when my original SE dies. Maybe I'll never buy an Apple phone again. But if I do buy a dongle, every time I will be cursing the person who took out the 1/8" jack.
