It actually has a different result, for someone like myself: it makes me not buy a new iPhone at all.

I like the ability to charge my phone and listen to music simultaneously, without having to worry about my headphones also dying. Usually this is in a travel scenario.

Have you been following Apple for the last 40 years? They have always been opinionated and willling to not serve every customer.

No need to be impolite. For one, no I haven't, since I'm not 40 years old. Second, they risk losing their core constituencies: the creative industry, and developers.

It’s not impolite or being insulting. When you try to make a product that is all things to all people, you end up with the HomerMobile.

Their “core constituency” haven’t been Mac buyers in years.
