Did they? Or did they just express they care more about staying in Apple ecosystem than the headphone jack?
This is my point: there isn't really a way to express a preference for something minor. Smartphone market is mostly "take it or leave it".
That WAS the vote. They didn’t care enough to leave Apple over it in sufficient numbers for Apple to change position.
They throw a dongle in the box. Just keep it hooked up to your headphones and now they're fancy Lightning buds. No big deal.
Nah, they're stopping that now.
Who knew individual customers have almost zero leverage on a trillion dollar company? I'm fed up of all the anti-consumer bullshit from Apple lately. It encourages the same behavior in others too.
