   Apple’s headphone adapter for older iPhones sells out, possibly never to return
   The end of Lightning is nigh. It's a bummer for folks with older phones, though.

     @arstechnica this kinda stinks but there will (hopefully) still be tons of 3rd party ones out there.

     @arstechnica Nothing unexpected at Apple. First create a proprietary port, refuse to migrate to the market standard until a law forces you. Then force people into planned obsolescence with perfectly good devices with perfectly good alternative solutions.

     @arstechnica Forced obsolescence, it’s what Apple does best!
