You can still buy an iPod touch. It’s AUD$299 . Although, why not pony up a few dollars more for an iPhone 5S (new) I don’t know. You can find them. You don’t have to activate the sim, but the point is you could, and you have GPS for games that use it.

What would be a good article would be an adapter comparison that looked at providing full functionality to third party earphones: mic, volume, pause, skip forward and back etc.
Also look at which adapter has a better DA converter too sound wise.  

Some people might want better sound than stock EarPods, but still want the functionality.  Anyone know of any good reviews/comparisons?

If it was that price all the time the audio performance would devastate competitor smart speakers and be an instant hit. as it is I reckon it is priced out of most of the market.

Will this new MacBook have more than one port and at a similar price point?
Until then this speculated machine ain’t no MBA replacement.

Truth is the current leadership team had to learn it.  Cook is a supply chain guru. It isn’t surprising he discounted the importance of power, configurability, and the classic interaction of that power and configurability with robust software tools. It looks like he understands mainstream products and low configurability means more efficient supply chains with high reliability. Maybe it was a cathartic reaction to finally being in charge led to going too far at the cost of the higher performance niches.

Why was there nobody in a leadership position to fight against this and bring balance to the Mac? Maybe they were all Forstalled.
