@xor @nicklockwood I could still connect any analog recording device to the dongle, so what does this change with regard to DRM?
This article on Apple's reported move to kill the headphone jack is The Business. I rarely say "must read" buthttp://www.stereogum.com/1893065/no-control-thoughts-on-the-end-of-the-headphone-jack-and-the-future-of-digital-music/franchises/but-whos-buying/ …

@olemoritz@xor the dongle is a stopgap to ease transition. They'll stop including it with iPhone 8/9, then eventually drop support for it. -
@nicklockwood Could be, but why would they? I don't think a significant number of people actually use the analog loophole for copying music. -
@olemoritz if they add DRM at some point it will probably break any existing lightning-analog adaptors, just as HDCP broke HDMI adaptors. -
@nicklockwood Yeah, that seems likely. Also depends on the fate of the headphone jack in other devices, I guess (PCs, Android phones).

@xor how is this relevant to anyone but apple users? I could be wrong but I don't see any other manufacturers trying something so idiotic. -
@FXBOY4EVA@xor moto z droid has no port, though USB-C is a more open protocol and the included adaptor is too small to not simply be... -
@FXBOY4EVA@xor a wire sending analog audio directly through the USB port (though i have no idea of the standards involved, or honestly... -
@FXBOY4EVA@xor ...even where to buy a replacement if I lose it) -
