USBC headphones make more sense. Unified port for all accessories.
- justworkout 3y agoIf that were to be the reasoning, the least they could do is provide 2 ports on phones so nobody needs a dongle to listen while charging.
- ActorNightly 3y agoPhones should have 2 ports, but Macs have 3 already
- inopinatus 3y agoThis is the sole reason I own a wireless charging pad.
- pzo 3y agosometimes you want to not only charge but also pass data via cable to macbook. Wifi has latency, airpods bluetooth also has latency. It the past it was easy when you could still connect iphone/ipad to macbook via cable and still connect headset for mic and speakers. I tested a lot of splitter adapters and they allowed only to use headset speakers (no mic) and charge (no data)
- YeBanKo 3y agoWhy though? Audio jack delivers pretty much all you need functionality for headphones and plenty of existing hardware. iPod Shuffle 3d gen was tiny, had only 3.5mm for data transfer and charging. They remove headphone jack in iPhone 7 and added USB-C in iPhone 15. So for almost a decade the only option was proprietary lighting or bluetooth, probably resulted in a significant amount of e-waste.
