Just in case you didn't see this Youtube video (El Risitas meme) yet, making fun of Apple's decision: [VIDEO] I think the subtitling is very well executed.

Apple is very happy to sell you a $$ phone/laptop and then $ dongles to make it actually work with the other things in the world. This is old, but still gold [VIDEO]

Some smartass engineer should have sold Tim Cook on the docks by rebranding them as dongles. Then Apple would have put out ten different coloured dongle-docks for each new device. Related: [VIDEO]
