It’s not to adapt cables, it’s to adapt accessories.
Did not know there are that many lightning accessories, thought mac mostly went wireless with those?
Things like thisor this.
There are more, but there are plenty of lightning based accessories and peripherals that people may not be ready to drop for the time being.
Yeah. If you’re spending $1500 on the brand new iPhone I’m sure an extra $30 to still be able to use your accessories isn’t a big deal.
Just stay a couple years behind on Apple stuff and it’s not that expensive. I got a brand new iPhone 11 for $300 a in 2021 (it released in 2019). I’ll use it for probably four years. In 2025 I’ll probably be buying this year’s model.
Ah yes, the "madcat" stuff. I must admit I did not think of those.
