They're clearly banking on wireless chargers becoming mainstream and ubiquitous, leaving the lightning connector for headphones. The dongle madness seems less mad if you can charge all your doodads with the one watchacallit.

Well, true, but they're also banking on wireless headphones.

Have you tried AirPods? Or the Beats headphones that have the same wireless chip?

I think they might be right. I never cared about wireless headphones until I tried AirPods and there're so incredibly convenient that I use them all the time now.

Now I understand why so many people said wireless headphones were amazing.

I have not. I like the design, and hate cables, they're just a bit more money than I'd like to spend on headphones right now. When the price drops, I'll check them out.
