Apple quietly kills the old-school iPad and its headphone jack
- nfriedly 2y agoI upgraded our family iPad from a 3rd gen (2012) a few months back. I was looking forward to finally moving to USB-C until I realized that none of the USB-C ones had headphones jacks. I went with a 9th gen one because it was the only one they were still selling with the headphones jack. My son was using it with headphones this morning, so I think I made the right choice.
- hcrisp 2y agoYou can buy a cheap dongle to plug your headphones into the USB-C port. It works fine, but now you have the problem of keeping track of the dongle when they kids unplug it.
- nfriedly 2y agoYeah, my wife has some of the dongles for her iPhone, and.. they don't seem very reliable. Even when you can keep track of them.
