:O

Why would they ever do that? Might as well take away all the USB ports while they're at it. :P

So they can market wireless headphones. But that's only on phones not computers.

Usually that kind of thing should be transitioned first. Have options for both wireless and wired headphones first, then carry it over to solely wireless once that older technology has been completed phased out (which it definitely hasn't).

I mean heck, I definitely don't have any wireless headphones yet. They're not cheap either. I'd rather deal with the wires than have to pay triple the price for something that does essentially the same thing. Plus headphones need batteries or need to be charged.

I never said it was a smart move.

Which only further proves to me my theory is true. These forced updates we go through only make our computers grow slower and die. Wjich forces us that have to buy a new one sooner.

I can so relate to this right now.

My guess is there is this feeling that replacing EVERYTHING will make it feel like all the junk that has slithered into your computer throughout the years would be completely irrelevant with a new machine.

If only people were honest and respectful and didn't make viruses, malware, spam, or any of that garbage in the first place...

It is all a plan by our robot overlords lying in wait. Soon, we will be forced to only buy Apple products at astronomically high prices, go globally bankrupt. With no money to buy any other substance, we are forced to assimilate to the Apple way of life. Soon, we will lose all forms of life, our languages will die; causing extreme shortened words and sentences to the point of near incomprehensible. Our Apple Overlords will further dumb us down, causing the economy to plummet, trash will begin to pile up on the streets for miles into the air.

We will become so dumb that we will replace our water with some form of energy drink, because that is what the plants crave. We will be forced back into the gladiatorial age, where we will make one another fight monster trucks in a little punch buggy. Our president of the world will be just, and equal parts insane. We will no longer think. Only do. Because that is what plants crave!

Long Live Dwayne Elizondo Herbert Mountain Dew Comacho.

They did. xD At least on the new Macbook Pros. No more regular USB ports, they're all USB-C (lightning) ports and need adapters to work with anything.

"NEW! Macbook Pro: want a laptop with your adapters?"

Wut.

The whole point of USB ports was to have many different devices use the same kind of connection rather than have everyone doing their own crazy thing. >.<

If you have a Lightning cord adapter then you're fine.
