It’s not a little thing. The first iPhone was introduced as a “widescreen iPod with touch controls” and then as a phone, in S.J.’s original keynote.

So unless I missed something, that something being the music industry deciding that headphone jacks need to be replaced with lightening / usb-c ports, then Apple (and the industry follows) is unilaterally deciding to demote the music component of the iPhone.

That’s not a little thing and I don’t feel that explaining why it is not a little thing is necessary.
