"And yes, I still miss my 1/8" jack on my iphone. Every single day. And stay off my lawn, you whippersnappers."

Interestingly, my teenage sons use the phrase "pass the aux", meaning let me drive the music we are currently listening to over the party speakers with my phone.

So yes, Apple's attempt to kill the aux jack was definitely premature, even among young tech savvy people.

Not sure what you mean by this, it is the best selling iphone.

It would be nearly impossible for Apple to make an iPhone that doesn't sell well. The point is that people still use aux cables.
