Apple has tragically killed off its last device that still had a headphone jack

The oldest and cheapest 9th-gen iPad is no more.

shrug. If you really need the hassle of wired headphones buy a little dongle?

the alternative app stores should make you happy?

Apple hasn’t been “hacker friendly” since the Apple II. :)

@GrantMeStrength no since the OS is still #proprietary (it also holds for most #Android). I want to control my #hardware.
I still have a 1999 iBook SE where I installed #Debian; at that time their behaviour was much better

the OS is “proprietary”? You mean they won’t open source it? Ok. You started off complaining about the headphone jack and when I pointed out a solution you pivoted quite a bit. At least thanks to the DMA all the APIs are exposed.

@GrantMeStrength I wrote that the missing jack is ONE of the **SEVERAL** reasons why I #AvoidApple. If you are happy with them, I won't bar you from buying such devices

Maybe you don't realize that every Mac still has a headphone jack?
