The perdition , Apple ? For the first fourth dimension since the iPhone maker prematurely killed the classic earpiece jack , Apple revealedon its websitethat it ’s blend to stop handing out those annoying small dongle for costless .

Eliminating the phone jack back in 2016 with the iPhone 7 prompted such panic that some peopleliterally bore holesinto their speech sound , mostly satirically , to land the classic embrasure back . Two age by and by , we ’ve sort of gotten used to the routine of using lightning headphones , losing them , and move around to the dongle before that too is lose .

But now you wo n’t get the luck to fall back it , unless you ’re looking to fork over $ 9 first for an official AppleLightning to 3.5 millimetre Headphone Jack Adapter . In the end , this is just going to fight more mass to radio set , which is both a boon to Apple and also believably an inevitableness disregarding of the courtesy dongle .

But Apple , with all its cash , can afford to do us a solid . It could and should keep doling out dongles for a little while longer to the people who will require them . That would be coolheaded , Apple .
