For those who never took a marketing class in college, Apple strategically
removes functionality from its devices so that people have to buy it back.

Apple made hundreds of millions of dollars each year by removing this basic
functionality (where Apple laughs all the way to the bank with that money).

It's Apple's marketing strategy to corral users by limiting their choices.

The functionality was being able to plug in ear buds to your phone.

It wasn't removed.
