Good point, interoperability is key. IF it only works on Apple that’s not
nearly as good as a standard interface. I buy that argument. That’s something
the standards folks should be able to work out though.
Funny thing I was just thinking is I wonder if Apple will make the same
change to the jacks on the matching Macbooks and desktops. It would be silly
to have a lightning jack on my phone with headphones that I could use on my
phone but not on my laptop. We could use an IEEE spec here.

I’m not against progress, but I’m still for a standard connector if we’re going
to replace the 3.5 mm jack. Same goal, different direction. Apple proprietary
for something so fundamental as headphones is user-hostile and stupid, but not
if we can move as one to an unfragmented, new market of all-digital connectors.
And there are indeed both advantages and disadvantages of going digital,
although in my opinion, mostly advantages.
