Comment on Saudi Arabia makes USB-C mandatory for electronic devices

• Zink@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I think I read a rumor a while back that iPhones will still limit your charge rate if you don’t have an approved cable. I don’t know if that’s still the case, but I could see it.

    Sounds illegal.

    I think they’ll just improve their MagSafe cable capabilities to try and get customers to buy that instead of the regular usb-c cable. But the rumor always sounded like bs to me. It’s just too on the nose.

  From what I’ve read only Apple cables will work with limitations put on regular usb-c cable. Typical Apple nonsense.

    Yeah and they will be hit with a brick by EU for it… But USB-C Thunderbolt should do the trick.

      Apple doesn’t deserve an EU bricking, maybe a large marble slabbing or a small stone condoing.

        They deserve a mountain dropping on them.
