Exactly. Users can't even use their lightning headphones on a new Mac. The move to remove was a mistake, but there is no going back now. That would be admitting to a design flaw.

Not only was it not a mistake, ten years from now people will refer to the outrage over the removal of the headphone jack in the same way we currently refer to the outrage over the removal of the floppy drive.

What's wrong with admitting that you took a bet and it didn't work out?

People do that all the time. Reasonable people, at least.

I am surprised nobody has responded to this comment with the USB-3 male to female Lightning adapter solution.
