New iPhone 7 Needs Dongle with MacBook Pro - Are You Fucking Serious?

Remember when all Apple devices worked with all other Apple devices?  Well, lose that thinking since that was before the time of Tim Cook when it seems none of the devices work together all that well anymore.  Apple's design team, assuming the company even has one anymore, has been smoking far too much of that California ganja.  (MacWorld:  It just works: You need a dongle to connect an iPhone 7 to a new MacBook Pro)

We question the MacWorld headline, tho.  If you have a new MacBook Pro and then you get an iPhone 7, without a dongle it won't just work.  Your new iPhone 7 will just be a rock with LED lights.

(Ed:  what's a dongle?)

Dongle is an old computer word which means 'anything you can't find when you want it.'  Just think of the new AirBud sound devices since you will never be able to find those or at least not twice in a row.

(Ed:  is that what it really means?)

Nope but you still won't be able to find the dongle when you need it.  Everyone who has used a computer since the first Cave Macs of the eighties has hated dongles and that's not likely to ever change.


Here's another beauty part since the new MacBook Pro doesn't have a built-in SD card reader anymore.  Probably Tim Cook was thinking, well, why the fuck do we need photographers or videographers anyway.  Let all those wanker artists use iPhones instead for their art and their movies.

(Ed:  but they can't plug the iPhone into the MacBook!)

Yah, it doesn't look like he thought about that too much.  Definitely cut off Tim Cook.  No more ganja for you until you, well, get your shit together.


All together at once, let's hear it ring, WE FUCKING HATE iCLOUD TOO!
