So I've been enjoying my iPhone XS Max, but given that it is a smartphone, a mini computer, it's severely limited.
First it was the fact that I can't use any head phones I like. True they sell an adapter, but does it work? NO. Can I plug it into stereo equipment and using it as a mobile source? NO. Can I use it as a recording device for audio? NO.
They don't even make basic cables you would want. There's no such thing as a lightening extension cable. You can get them from aftermarket manufacturers but they don't work.
If you want to output anything you need a dongle. You need a big cancerous piece of shit hanging off the phone. Steven Jobs would have fired the first person to suggest that. It's the most regressive moronic, anti-apple thing to exist in modern times. The last thing they did this bad was making their computers incompatible with NTFS. Steve Jobs was about pushing Apple to be sleaker, slimmer, faster, integrated, and intuitive. A dongle is the absolute opposite of just that. Think about it, it's $50 for a dongle, and you can't even use an extension to stop it from hanging off your phone, meaning you have to have two cables go all the way to the phone to charge and use... Steve Jobs would be using a whip to drive out these idiots from Apple by the dozen.
In fact the lightening is being phased out this year, because it's been such a monumental failure. The new iPad already doesn't use it. The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR will go down as a boil on Apple's face, remembered as lémons.
