Gregory's Server@Tsadiq oh yes I daily charge my android work phone over micro usb. I always try to put it in the wrong way. Every day I get reminded of how wonderful the EU directives are
My iPhone on the other hand is a cable virgin I think 😂

@Tsadiq Is this a paralel universe? Wireless, wireless, wireless, wireless. I do all these things without a cable, Android can't be that far behind that I don't see why you would need a cable for any of those? If Apple would ditch the cable altogether I would not miss any of those @SebastienK wireless implies authentication, if not you're opening your devices to mitm attacks. Unthinkable for sensitive data. Cable ensure direct connection to devices. You can't wireless from devices that are not self-powered - you ever heard about issues with lithium in batteries? You can't configure wireless tools if you're not able to see the screen. Visually disabled people? To hell with them. Broken screen? Welp, too bad. @Tsadiq you mean because “we” do it a different way “you" need to adapt or shut up. That’s the whole thing I'm getting from the answers I got. |
@SebastienK then again, we're not talking about charging here. We're talking external screen, digital audio, storing devices, accessibility tools.
And that's why there should be only one standard, and this standard is usb-c because it's not a proprietary standard, whether you like it or not.
