It is so annoying.

I got the dang dongle. Now, I want to listen to a podcast while doing to bed. Of course, because cellphone batteries only last like 24 hours, I have to charge overnight.

So now I've got some big fancy inductive charger, so I can leave my charging port open, to attach a dongle. But hey at least Apple saved $1 and got to remove the only non-proprietary port on the thing.



No no, friend, you just need to buy this additional $35 accessory. Problem solved!

That might have been an option.

I had some adapters with the plug built in like that, they were notably lower quality than the one without the plug, but it could be that the ones I got were just some no-name junk brand.


For me I think it has just reduced my podcast consumption. Too much hassle now.
