    So much hate, so much anger.

    Do you guys think this will do their sales in? I mean usually the anger is from the pros/techies aka the crowd-that-always-complains but the bitching has gone mainstream...

    • or just use the headphones on the laptop because music syncs to it?monospaced
    • it's not going to help sales, that's for suremonospaced
    • I can tell you this, and in a calm and professional manner, my MBP will need an upgrade in 1-2 yrs...prophetone
    • ...there is no way I am going to suddenly deal with all this hassle (at left) after dropping $3k, it's not even funny but it is a joke (to professionals)prophetone
    • It feels (to me) like the days I messed around with scsi type conversion adapters/terminators for my G3 Lombard and tower - like they hopped back to 2001prophetone
    • It think indeed it will help sales - for Dell and Lenovoprophetone
    • Who listens to music from their iPhone? I don't connect to the companies wifi and listen to music through iTunes on the computer.kona
    • However, this is straight up bullshit. All those Apple commercials focusing on doing away with wires, 10 years later, an obscene amount of wires.kona
    • I can deal with the death of the HDMI slot, as it's rarely needed and when it is it's set and forget or infrequent, and even the SD card slot (sort of)...prophetone
    • ...but not leaving a single USB port to allow prof users to continue to use their $$$ USB peripherals in an unaltered workflow is insanity, it's a brick wallprophetone
    • You either get on board and re-invest in all new peripherals (is impossible - i.e.: Maschine?) or you MUST remember to have a pocket full of dongles hahahaprophetone
    • But let's say you're a prof 'n dive into 'the future' w/ ALL USB-C periphs to avoid dongles, but collab with others... you'll still need dongles as backup lolprophetone
    • @kona, the phone syncs wirelessly, and they are promoting wireless headphones, so they are pushing the no-wires thing, just prematurely sortamonospaced
    • I bet Trump uses Apple. Brexit uses Apple. Xzibit uses Apple, he put a dongle in your dongle so you can dongle while you dongle.craigatkinson
    • it's annoying. but i'm gonna get a single usb-c hub. shock horror. How they fucked FCP those years back was far more rage inducing for me.inteliboy
