Gopher dear chap, please realise that I was generalising.
I know that nobody will get rich selling 4 packs of USB thingies, but as a general rule novelty sells.
Look at all the people queuing to buy the latest iPhone, does it really do so much more than their existing one year old phone? Probably not.


Angry, conspiracy theory, me? Nah.


Not me, I am happy as a pig in straw.

Either you are making up a false personality in your last post or your second-to-last post makes no sense. Pick one.

Why drop the headphone jack?
The only way to use non-Apple wired headphones, is to then purchase a lightning to 3.5mm adapter.
You are forced to buy something else.

Check the box, the adapter comes with the iPhone. No purchase necessary.

Do you make stuff up as you go along based on assumptions or try to outrage people and make up false stories on purpose when you know the adapter was in the box?

The iPhone also comes with a pair headphones that directly fits the USB C. As does Google Pixel3 phone.

Explain to me how you would charge the iPhone 7 and listen to music at the same time, with a pair of something like these?

They are not very expensive and are no longer available, but I happen to like them and they have a 3M long cord.
Why should I be forced into using wireless headphones, if the battery is low and I want to listen to some music?

Review: 2019 13-inch MacBook Pro — ultimate refinement without revolution | AppleInsider

Apple's latest 13-inch MacBook Pro is here and with it comes another iterative spec bump. This year it is further about refinement, improving not only the performance of the machine but the reliability of the keyboard. AppleInsider has spent the last couple weeks with the new machine to see how...

They could have thrown one of these in the box to get you going with transferring your files to your spanky new machine, since most people have a few regular USB thumb drives, but now it costs an extra $19 if you buy from them?

Disappointed with your post above gophert.

If one tries hard enough, I am sure they can come up with an unworkable situation. The solution to all of your problems is obviously either bluetooth earbuds or a flip phone.

I just uploaded successfully a pdf test file from a tablet (Android. 8.1.0)
Deleted it later.

Well, I can't get it to upload PDF files... the ETO software keeps telling me the file I am trying to upload appears empty ?????

Tv, open your browser options on phone and tell it to use desktop mode. See if that helps
