I can live with my phone not being able to be connected with my computer with a cable. The new keyboard, mouse and trackpad however pair by being connected through their lightning port.

So when you buy a new macbook and the new external keyboard and mouse by apple you need an adapter additionally to be able to connect them with each other.

Not being able to connect to your laptop... without the right cable? [1]

Obviously you're going to need at least one of these [2] in your carrying case for any number of reasons.

Equally obvious is in a couple years you won't need it, and you won't miss it.

I mean this is the classic Apple playbook, and every time it ends the same way; Apple led the pack, too early for some, but ultimately they led.
