Nope ... that's not the Apple way!

The Apple way is to make a gajillion proprietary, trademarked dongles and adapters so that you have to then pay them $100's more in tiny little enormously overpriced adapters that are easy to lose and can only be legitimately manufactured with Apple's blessing (read: lots of money going to Apple).

Blackberry used to be king until they got full of themselves.

So it's not so they can make bank off of wireless Beats and Airbuds?
