Well, I will just not buy devices with no analog audio out.

Saved those adapter, charger, hassles and all my existing gear works great!

Same for ports. I will not purchase one of these all in one port devices.

Charge and listen happens all the time in cars, BTW.

MIDI is not comparable to the charge and listen case.

Besides, a whole lot of people hate dongles. I am one of them.

And yes, I stepped right off the Apple train the moment I heard these things were coming. Did not look back.

I have things from the freaking 80's, like great headphones, that work just fine. Got other things to spend my money on, and chasing adapters down really is not one of them.
