		otterley on Sept 8, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The End of Headphone Jacks, the Rise of DRM What about the fact that Apple ships a Lighting-to-3.5mm-stereo-analog adapter in the box? As far as I can tell, there is no practical difference from the previous scenario, other than that you need to plug in the dongle to make analog recordings. I agree with a lot of what EFF does, but in light of the adapter provided, they're blowing this issue way out of proportion.

They may be providing that for backwards compatibility to ease consumers' transition. That doesn't diminish the concern about DRM.
