Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger
Rootiest@lemm.ee 1 year agoIf only they had the foresight to predict the needs of their customers a year or two in the future.
Or maybe they just went with Lightning because they could take a cut off every product using their proprietary connector.

Buddy, standard connectors are in the works way earlier than you think. Manufacturers know about the next standard ahead of time and often give feedback. It’s all on Apple wanting to sell you a proprietary connector so you can only buy from them, or you can’t switch phones to android and still use your accessories.

Apple literally contributed to the design of USB-C, it’s not as I’d they had no idea it existed.
