@th Some weeks ago, I read a thread of someone who wanted to buy an adapter for wired headphones at an airport but was unable to find one that did not require Bluetooth, although it wasn't stated on the packages. For all the not tech-savvy people in the store, the connection between headphones and Bluetooth was obvious, for the tech-savvy, it simply hurt.

@Habrok42 @th I saw that thread. The amount of shit that person got for pointing out that such a thing should not need to exist was alarming.

"Hey, I want a wired adapter that's actually wired" shouldn't be too much to ask.

I recall he didn’t actually get that the problem is that Apple makes it more financially viable to put a fucking bluetooth receiver in cheap wired earphones

marcin, not anymore though. Thank god Lightning is on its way out. Several more years and there won't be such a thing as an "iPhone charger" and "Android charger".
