Not sure I understand? Sounds like a temper tantrum to me.

Inside joke. Apple's marketing guy used the word "courage" as an explanation when removing the headphone jack.

  • That decision had a lot of detractors at the time, but it ultimately seems to have been correct.

    • I don't know if I agree.

      People who moved to bluetooth got arguably worse sound quality.

      For wired headphones, there were very few lightning headphones and they mostly sucked.

      Now with usb-c you can get a broader range of headphones (because other phones have gone with usb-c).

      either kind needs a dac inside the dongle, or the shell of the headphone, or have a bulky external dac.

      3.5mm is still king for decent wired headphones/earbuds.
