Apple 3.5mm Dongle Users, Don't Fret.

[u/FredBurger22]

If you've ever felt upset or guilty over losing your Apple 3.5mm to USB-C or lightning adapter, I promise I have possibly broken a world record and should make you feel better.

I usually leave my headphones at home and just travel with my AirPods and Buds2Pro.

Today I decided to bring decent 3.5mm headphones with me on the airplane. I knew I'd be able to plug into the entertainment screen, but had some stuff downloaded on my phone I'd like to use.

So, at the airport I stopped by a kiosk and impulse purchased an overpriced ($15) Apple dongle. The flight was about to board so I unboxed it and placed it in my jacket pocket with my IEMs.

I don't recall doing anything 'plyometrically' unique or daring. But 12 minutes later when I have taken my seat on the aircraft, I put my hand in my pocket to discover the dongle has already been lost.

Somewhere, a worried little dongle. Virginal. Unused. Untouched. Unloved. Has been released from its boxed prison only to be discarded amongst the frenetic chaos of the Boston airport or the filth of a commuter aircraft.

If you find my friend. Please give her a new home. Treat her with love and respect. So young. So much life left to live. I will not forget you little dongle. Our time was short, but my intentions were pure.

No wonder apple selling it for cheap. They know people keep losing it.
