Gregory's Server@alyx @EUCommission If Apple had opened up Lightning to other devices and device makers maybe you'd have a point but their licensing has even led to third-party headphones using "lightning plus Bluetooth" because they can only use the cable for power and need to fall back to Bluetooth for the actual audio.
@ln But that’s not my point, it’s not a golden thing for sure, it’s just that bragging about keeping e-waste volume down while creating some feels wrong. They could have accepted to force all new devices to USB-C, most of the market was already aligning on this anyway, and allow Apple to carry on with the lightning one. They would have switched anyway at some point.
Please don’t attack me personally over this, it would be the third time over this, I don’t have the mind space for this today 🙇🥺
