Nope. I hate how apple have become everything via dongles. It started with the macbook and ethernet and has just snowballed. Sure I may not use the port that is directly on the device but when I need it I need it and I don't want to be stuck having left the dongle somewhere or fumbling around to find it.
So what next is the macbook going to get a lightning port so you can use the same headphones on your phone or are they going to give us a dongle to convert digital to analog then back to digital and then out as analog.
Apple was all about sleek, all in one, sylish etc - now you have to hang truckloads of cables out of it to do anything. Need USB stick data - hang a dongle, need ear buds, hang a dongle, need anything - hang a dongle. So if I have a charging dock for an iphone, how do I connect it to my speakers at the same time without a jack?
Also what is really new in the new iphone? I'm hearing talk of new processors where there is a low power one for small stuff and a kick ass big one for when you need grunt - but not sure if it is in this phone. At the end of the dy what is new in it (other than needing more dongles?)
