Facts.
o Not bullshit (which is what you get from Apple apologists)
As a companion thread to the recent reliable news cite:
o Review: Apple's "goofy looking" horribly expensive $550 AirPods Max don't even have the most basic of functionality
<

Verbatim below, as apologists brazenly deny everything they _hate_ about
Apple, without even clicking on the cites - as facts don't matter to them.
"Apple has quietly added a Lightning to 3.5mm bi-directional audio cable
to its online Apple Store, a $35 accessory that can be used with the
just-launched AirPods Max."
"Apple advises it can be used to connect the AirPods Max and Beats Solo
Pro headphones to 3.5mm audio sources, which would enable the personal
audio accessories to work with hardware that doesn't offer wireless
connectivity. It would also make the AirPods Max usable with the
headphone jacks supplied in modern airplane seats, an industry that
doesn't like passengers using wireless connectivity in general."
o Apple releases $35 bi-directional Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable <

"Surfacing in the online Apple Store on Tuesday and appearing as a
recommended item when ordering the AirPods Max, the Lightning to 3.5mm
Audio Cable is a fairly straightforward product. Measuring 1.2 meters
(3.9 foot) in length, the cable has a 3.5mm headphone jack on one end,
and a Lightning connector on the other."
"The cable can also be used for other purposes, including connecting an
iPhone or iPad to an audio-in port on a home stereo or a vehicle, again
if there isn't network or wireless connectivity. As a bi-directional
cable, it can be used with both audio-in and audio-out ports,
and so can be potentially used to record audio to iOS devices."
Notice the apologists brazenly deny all facts they _hate_ about Apple
o Which is the defining trait of all apologists - they _hate_ Apple
More specifically, rest assured, every fact they brazenly deny outright
o Is a fact about Apple products they _hate_ exists
Because it's not what Apple MARKETING had fed them to believe Apple was.

They prefer to believe in what Apple "says" and not in what Apple does.
