@SebastienK @aurnytoraink this is the fault of Apple refusing to voluntarily join the rest of the smartphone market years ago, not the EU for forcing them to finally do so now. If you don't want to get rid of the cables, you could get a Lightning to USB-C adapter. Then you could still use all the same cables whether for a new device following the standard or an old one that doesn't. 5 comments
@SebastienK @aurnytoraink Why did I bother replying to you? I can see your other replies in here. It's obvious you're only arguing for argument's sake. @chronohart i'm just replying to every reply. I'm sorry that I dedicated some of my time to respond to you 🤷🏽♂️ @aurnytoraink @SebastienK I know this is a bit late but just jumping into the replies here, I have an iPhone and most other things I have use usb-c, I had to go out of my way to buy a lightning cable while I already had plenty of usb-c, with the iPhone being the only lightning port device I have. This will create e-waste from Apple users who have few usb-c products, but this is Apple's issue they created years ago by not changing w everyone else. EU is also ignoring the actual issue here by not (1/2) @SebastienK (2/2) addressing that Apple & others will invetivibly require mfi-certified for full features, creating the same situation/issue as the lightning cable vs usb-c debate by making it apple usb-c vs other usb-c. This could have been an okay-ish solution that has some issues long-term, but them ignoring that will make more e-waste because even users who have usb-c will need to buy a special Apple usb-c just to get full functionality. The issue here is Apple creating this situation. |

@chronohart what fault? Who needs USB-C on their phones? The only ones whining to have it on the iPhone don't use iPhones. @aurnytoraink
