@SebastienK @wonka huh, didn't know that... well, point still stands, these devices should've switched to usb-c long ago, i think consumers have been giving enough money to apple for proprietary cables that haven't had a reason to exist for years now...

@zegolem why? Lightning was there long before USB-C. It worked fine. There was no need for a change. Why would I need USB-C to charge a remote or a keyboard? It’s just charging. It’s just ridiculous to switch all of that for something that works. @wonka

@SebastienK So that you only need USB-C for all devices. Not Lightning, and Lumberg, and TomTom, and Flurb, and Gnorf, and several different barrel plugs, and and and.
You did not really dive into this in *any* way at all that exceeds you very limited position, did you? That's what I meant with "close horizon". 🤦

@SebastienK By the way, if Apple wasn't so tight-assed, Lightning could have had the place USB-C has now. 🤷 @zegolem

@wonka Apple was one of the first to adopt USB-C so I don’t understand what you mean? Apple just has another view on what the future is on how people will charge their phones. USB-C was not in those plans. @zegolem
