Controversial? Unpopular I can understand, but that's not the same.
I still prefer wired buds and chose a phone with a 3.5mm jack, but I wasn't into Apple phones to begin with.
Now that Apple is going USB C, the lightning adapter will stop mattering, I guess.
You make a good point. When a small number of people complain loudly but most people don’t care, I’m not sure that’s “controversy.” The majority don’t care but this accessory is for the minority who do, and they hate it, so yeah “hated” would not be overstating it :)
Oh you mean the discontinuation rather than the accessory itself. Meh, there is always ebay. Someone will always have an extra one left from their old phone before they upgraded to a usb-c phone.
