    • Yup. My tattoo place uses iZettle, a card-reading dongle that hooks into the audio jack. Hadn't seen it before, nifty idea.face_melter
    • Lightning-connected headphones sound better though.omg
    • ...compared to headphones using the old 3.5mm jackomg
    • These will still work with a dongle.e-wo
    • I'm sure lightning versions are on the way too. Apple isn't taking away the current working devices ffsmonospaced
    • They are, I saw Tim Cook punch Jack Dorsey in the nuts.zarkonite
    • Yeah mono, but wouldn't lightning connected versions: a) require a license fee and; b) be yet another device taking up the one and only access port.ETM
    • How will it be elegant design when people will end up with dongles, splitters etc. just to have their phone be functional?ETM
    • @ETM I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that these devices all currently work with their current phones perfectly well.monospaced
