True, although I think for a lot of use cases the space settled on things like the Apple Dongle. Cannot be bothered with batteries beyond my phone/

I think the apple dongle is the threshold to start. I mean, it's really quite good, and exception on a cost vs performance perspective.

So what do we get for money we spend over $9? Bluetooth? An absurd bit rate? Frustrating short battery life?

I've really grown to love the wireless charging. I have the mag safe on my desk and on my nightstand. Car isn't magsafe, but it's still wireless. That frees up the lightning port for fun stuff like amps that don't want to adhere to apple's low power requirements...

Is that just dealing with the single lightning port limitation on one of the Macbooks?

I'm only using an iphone. Don't have any experience with these guys and macbooks.

We're all windows, too.
