a google search finds whatever you want. it'll even tell you the earth
is flat and the moon landing was faked.

it boils down to people hate change. 

there will always be those who want to hold technology back and remain
in the past. fortunately, they're a small minority. 

over thirty *years* after the cd debuted, there are still those who
insist on using vinyl records. 

people complained when broadcast tv went digital and they had to buy
new tvs or use clumsy adapters, but when they saw just how much better
hdtv was, they quickly shut up. 

even cheap hdtvs these days blow away those old crt tvs, where 25" was
considered to be 'big'.

technology involves continual change.

some folks are stupid for believing what was obviously a satire video.
fortunately, very few people thought it was true.

absolutely, along with the usb implementors forum, who just released
the usb-c audio spec, intel, apple, motorola, oppo and many others. i'm
in incredibly good industry-wide company.

it won't be long until most android phones have digital audio jacks.

there will probably be a few that don't, but they won't be the flagship
phones.

transitions are always a pain, but once it's done, people will be
thrilled about the numerous advantages of a digital audio jack.

nope. usb-c is thicker than lightning and does less, so there's no
point in that. there are adapters if you really need one.
