^^ It seems you have to have a subscription to read the whole article, but from what I gather, this concerns iPhones. Well, I don't use iPhones, so I guess I don't have to worry about it!

My bad, i thought this was fairly common knowledge and likely wouldn't need the complete article.


Here is one courtesy CNBC http://http://www.cnbc.com/2016/09/07/apple-officially-gets-rid-of-the-headphone-jack.html

Other phone manufacturers are jumping on the band wagon. Who wouldnt apple is going to sell wireless earbuds for $120.

This is a travesty. Might honestly have to consider switching off-brand when the time comes that something I actually might buy is affected by this crap.

Yeah like I want to charge my shit for no reason instead of not having to do that. I also want to have to run in circles for ten minutes every time I leave the house, and fold an extra load of laundry every time I do my laundry.
