Seems overblown, but because of third-party cable and charger fires, we only buy authentic Apple accessories. And only directly from Apple, because everything on Amazon, Ebay, etc. is suspect. We only get non-powered third party accessories.

I mean, pay more if it makes you feel better. But that's all you're doing: paying more.

To connect with wired headphones, there are many USB-C to 3 mm adapters in the market. Are they compatible with the new iPhones?

Apple hasn't released such an adapter, I assume. Maybe I missed it?

Apple does sell such an adapter (remember, iPads have had USB-C for a while, so Apple has been building out its USB-C accessories already):

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MU7E2AM/A/usb-c-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter

It's both inexpensive (often $8 or under on Amazon) and has a highly-regarded DAC—it's often mentioned as a go-to choice among Android users, even, to use wired headphones with any device that lacks a 3.5mm port, not just iPhones or iPads.

"It means in-house game engine by Apple is inevitable"

If you don't recognize why that doesn't even remotely solve the problem with Unity, I think it's pretty clear you either didn't read the article, or didn't understand it. The appeal of GDEs like Unity, Unreal Engine, or Godot, to developers is they're not platform specific. That's the whole point. That's why they're important. Essential, even. Apple is happy to keep pounding sand with Epic in their petulant quest to always be 'right' (how'd that work out with the eBook lawsuit, Apple?). Godot is promising, particularly in 2D, but it's 3D environment is woeful. That leaves Unity, which already has deep use particularly for iOS and iPadOS assets which are key to Vision Pro's development model.

Now do you understand the problem? Apple doing the equivalent of a DirectX would be beyond useless. Apple is stupid about a great many things, but they're not that stupid.

Hugely cheaper?

Magical and amazing, it's the best repairable rear iPhone glass panel they've ever made. They think you're going to love how it's hugely cheaper.

 But still no CarPlay. *eyeroll*

Out of curiosity, do you own a Tesla, or are you just white knight-ing for Apple? May as well be upfront about it, at least. Here, I'll even give you a "like" on your post to give you the affirmation you were after.
