@varve @fraggle Eh, such devices should have a bluetooth logo and probably not a lightning logo (although I guess technically they are still using the lightning port?)...does sound like there may be some fraud going on there! So both sides kinda suck.

The other maddening thing though is when you complain about Apple's licensing crap and need to control the entire walled garden, the typical response is that they do that to maintain quality...but then the typical Apple customer complains about how expensive everything is and goes looking for the cheapest possible knockoff accessories anyway...they wouldn't produce this stuff if there wasn't a market for it.

@admin @fraggle yeah, needing Bluetooth on something with a wire and a lightning logo is confusing. Obviously there's something technically fraud there, since those dare to be unlicensed peripherals. But... I can't really make myself care about that part. Apple did this to themselves. People will find workarounds for excessively restrictive and expensive stuff, and more power to them.
