Re: Apple's headphone scam

[Gordan Radić]

Hi! Agreed but there always be other manufacturers. I wouldn't buy power adapter other than Apples but a piece of cord is just piece of cord and the manufacturer is not so important. Regarding lightning to micro USB, it is not shipped, atleast here in Croatia. We get standard USB to lightning cable for PC connection and/or connection to power adapter. Thinking of it, what would be the use of micro USB to lightning anyway?

I am not hearing impaired, but apparently there are some undesireable consequences for people who are hearing impaired if the device doesn't have a 3.5mm jack. An adapter will probably eleviate these, but it does mean one needs to have an extra, most likely very small and easy to loose part with you and considering Apple charges $19 for a stupid piece of string or whatever they use as a wristband for the Apple TV remote, I assume such an adapter won't come cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if it would be at least $19.95 to $29.95 and knowing Apple, they won't include it with the iPhone if they include a Lightning headset except of course maybe in EU countries where they are forced to include such items in order to meet certain standards. I am pretty sure, for exa mple, that in EU countries Apple has to ship a Lightning to Micro USB adapter with all Ios DEVICES. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Oriol Gómez Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 5:05 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple's headphone scam You won't lose your headphone jack.

Statements like "rip off every one of its customers. Again" is just a bit too much for me. I know these petitions have to get some attention, and I may be the only one who feels this way, but if it helps, that's my $0.02.
