Cash grab.

In your first post, you claimed that Apple had removed the audio jack as a "cash grab" but that is ridiculous. Apple has replaced a 10¢ part and a 10¢ jack on the earbuds with a $10 jack with additional internal electronics to convert digital electronic signals to an analog audio sound AND are including those new earbuds with that jack at no additional cost. . . and then they are ALSO including a Lightning to 3.5mm analog converter, with the ancillary processing for that conversion, free of charge in the box with the new iPhones. How, pray tell, is that a "cash grab?"

They tell their sheep that it is an improvement.

Those sheep tell themselves that until they believe it.

And you show up to buy it.
