On the actual topic, Apple charging cords are quite possibly the worst thing on this earth, next to stepping on a lego. I've gone through dozens of Lightning cables, and even more 60W MacBook chargers, and even if I let it sit out on a desk, it manages to rip itself apart after a few months. Utter garbage.
I do love my iPhone though. It's good, because it fits
my needs. All I need is a nice device that can get LTE, read RSS, email, and load webpages fast. Apple's devices boast some pretty slick optimization. You won't be able to emulate Dolphin, but you'll have a very snappy phone that can do simple tasks faster than the rest of the bunch.
Their computers are more of a hard sell, what with them being nonupgradable. I rock a 27" iMac, because I love how it looks, and how it's so thin on my desk, with that 1440p screen.
But I also have a gaming PC, to go with it. I honestly detest Windows comparatively to Apple, but I can live with either. They compliment each other nicely.
The vague title certainly didn't help. Let's be honest, most people aren't going to bother reading the first post. I doubt most of them know this is supposed to be a topic exclusively about the headphone jack.
Oh for goodness sakes, I type this all out and you go and tell me that now!
Re headphone jack: Apple can go shove it for removing it. There's a line between form and function, and that crosses it. Fancy earbuds that are inflated and expensive is not a consumer boon. Bluetooth drains the battery like a monster. It was an incredibly stupid decision.
