By removing audio jacks from everything Apple is not my friend. I had to buy special hardware to fix their spartan tablet to play MIDI music - how do you get audio out without lag when the input is required for connecting to the keyboard? Certainly not from the jack output.

I agree that this was a terrible decision (although as a non-Apple user, I wouldn't care except that so many non-Apple companies followed Apple's lead here).

But to be fair, that's a product design decision, not really one with moral implications.


And most definitely not from Bluetooth
