  • That is actually kind of brilliant. Having to go through MFi and getting the Apple DRM chip into the manufacturing pipeline can be a real pain (and expensive).

    With this scheme, they could also run all the wired on/off and volume control actions through Bluetooth AVRCP. Even have a Mic on the wire, so if a call comes in, switch to HFP to talk/manage the call.

    Damn, that’s clever. Hats off to whoever came up with it.

    Incidentally, there’s very little Apple can do to make this stop, unless they decide to break Bluetooth and third-party accessories.
