    This sub sucks. No really, it’s be great if we could actually have conversations about Apple products and decisions instead of it being full of people that just want to dunk on Apple with uninformed and tired takes.

    There is a legit way we can talk about the dongle, how it’s existence makes perfect sense, and how there are cheaper/better alternatives on the market. Instead we have “Hur hur hur, Apple expensive, what do you expect? Are you new?”. It’s not intelligent, it’s not right, and it completely ignores so many realities.

      I’m as big a fan of nuance as the next guy, but yeah I mean that’s pretty expensive for a lightning to usb dongle, let’s be honest.

        Keep in mind this is the same amount their adapters have been forever. They’re almost always in the $19-39 range.

        When you think about it, adapters are some of the few inflation-free things Apple has sold.
