I just discovered that I have the same issue – input from my wired headphones (Sennheiser) doesn’t work… Which is quite an ugly surprise to be honest. I discovered it while trying to have a call. And then tested it with recorder – records only have some noice but no real sound.
Does anyone have the same issue?
I must say, your attempt to blame apple any time they are mentioned is uneducated and in many cases unjustified. It has nothing to do with apple unless it is proven to work reliably with non-apple analogue.
