@mrlinux... do with a headphone jack. PPC processors were excellent processors.
There used to be several companies that produced processors, now there is only AMD and Intel as the major competitors in the OEM manufacturing of Computers. Of course ARM is the major player with mobile devices, but there are also SnapDragon from Qualcomm, and of course the Intel Atom, and also Apple with their custom SOC Arm based processors.
But even Mainstream OEM's such as HP, Lenovo, Dell and others flip back and forth between Intel and AMD processors all the time, so again, what's your point?
Of course anyone who hates Apple will always scoff at what Apple does, it is the same as when the iPad came out... "eh... the thing doesn't have a USB port, and the want you to buy an adapter.... Well that is just rubbish" All of the ABAers wanted what? Multiple USB ports, a built in Multi-Card reader, a HDMI port, and the list goes on. I have to hand it to Apple, they prefer to keep it clean and simple. If you need that port, then yes an adapter is required, but I doubt they would go so far as to rework a headphone jack to the point you would need an adapter to use a standard set of headphones.
