  The fact that it sold out proves that no one wants it?

    For those not hallucinating, the article says “discontinued”.

      Apple made the transition a little easier for those who weren’t ready to give up on their wired headphones by including a $9 adapter. However, it looks like it could now be confined to the annals of history, as the Lightning to 3.5mm jack adapter has sold out in the US and other countries, suggesting Apple may have quietly discontinued it 

      It says “sold out” and "discontinued. The latter is currently just speculation.

        Speculation, according to you. You are speculating, and that’s pretty sad.

      The article summary and the article both say “sold out”?

    You can sell out on anything, no matter how unpopular it is, if you don’t make enough of them. How many of these things did they actually make?

  Imagine simping for a 3 trillion dollar company that did this for the sole purpose of making more money on wireless earbuds. SMH.

  And that’s why I still listen to music on my Zune HD instead of my iPhone.

  nobody really wanted a headphone jack

  My phone has a jack. It’s why I bought it. I use a pair of corded earbuds for calls and music.

  Why be all Joe Rogan about people who want a headphone jack? What’s it get you to calm people whiny and children?

  That’s certainly a good possibility.

  Could it instead be related to them discontinuing the lightning port on all devices, and usb-c to 3.5mm adapters are available for $2 on temu so they’re not bothering? Is that alternate reality also possible?

  A follow up, if wired headphones actually are unpopular, why are there pages and pages of sellers in all marketplaces selling usb-c to 3.5mm adapters?

    More than one thing can be possible. Your flaw is that you have no imagination. You seem to think that two products existing on two separate stores is somehow magical and amazing.

    It isn’t, and neither are you.

  I did buy a pair of wireless headphones, but the earbuds are staying wired. The headphones have a large, easy-to-replace battery that lasts a couple of weeks easily - while earbuds don’t. Some people might be inconvenienced by having to charge another device. Plus, Bluetooth doesn’t have the same audio quality - not as important for me, but might be for some people.

  Homies throwing a tantrum like a three year old, what prompted this?
