We knew it was going to happen, but I am still disappointed the 3.5mm jack is gone.

They provide the lightening-to-jack adapter for free in the box.

Apple users surely seem to. I hardly see them without carrying their vga and sometimes rj45 converters, if not also a custom phone charger.

Seems that Apple dismissed the rj45 per just as wifi became ubiquitous. And that the majority of the purpose of Apple TV is airplay.

Which doesn't even allow you to charge.

In any case even with a bundled adapter I feel that removing the jack is a pretty sketchy decision.

And how much is another one when I inevitably lose or break it?
