good job apple, you successfully prevented unscrupulous third parties from making cheap Unauthorized usb peripherals for your devices by replacing the usb port with something proprietary. now they make cheap unauthorized peripherals with a lightning connector instead and they're even worse than before
They used to have a port! For headphones! That was all the port did! And it did it perfectly!
... What.
WHAT.
Wh--
This is the nightmare ending for removing the headphone jack
damn, that's clever.
Serves Apple right for removing the headphone jack to try to lock people into their ecosystem
How is this easier than reverse engineering the Lightning audio standard which hasn't changed in 12 years? Even Gruber's like "but doing it the right way requires a DAC, that's like a whole little computer", dude, do you think Bluetooth is an analog standard? You cannot decode AAC more efficiently than the PCM audio that gets sent over Lightning.
its minor, but i saw this thread but i didnt share because of how condescending it is towards the ppl here
The whole thread seems to have been deleted in the last couple hours, yeah, probably because a bunch of people were yelling at him for being smug about how he knows more about Bluetooth than the people trying to help him
