@richardw66 Do you remember the 1st generation iPhone, where the 3.5mm jack was inset a certain way as to not accept any other headphones? Do you remember that Apple themselves did NOT sell any adapters (possibly because they only wanted their (uncomfortable) headphones used?)
Also, I can certainly see problems with a Magsafe-type connector: it won't stay stuck to the iDeviceofchoice when you go to pull the device out of your pocket/purse/whatever (if you want to find your iDevice using the headphone cord, you're out of luck).
