I just tell iphone users I don’t respect them for their choices in life. It’s not that hard.

Don’t worry, Apple saved you here. While the plug is technically a USB C, it must be an Apple charger to properly charge their crap-phones. Anything “less” only allows very slow charging.

In my experience this isn’t true at all but could b a good excuse if you need one

I still do cause most iUsers I’ve encountered don’t understand standards. Once one of them said " yeah but it’s USB c? " to which I replied yes but the version for pixel phones. He didn’t insist.

In my experience I have more iPhone chargers stolen from me than anything else. iPhone users are cheap, can’t even be bothered to change to non-default ringtones because they cost money 🤣

You can say no without reason. You’re overthinking this.

You can just say youre not comfortable lending a charger and instead take custody of their device to charge or own a really cool long cable which shows your intent to compromise even in the presence of boundaries others aren’t prepared to understand.

Don’t give people a way to get around your boundaries. They’ll just learn that there is a way to violate them, without repercussion and seek out more boundaries to push back.

Sounds kinda petty? Idgaf what other people use, if they need charge they can get charge.

You can say “sorry, I don’t have chargers for Apple stuff.”
“Can I use your wall socke…”
“None of them are for Apple stuff, either, sorry.”

You could probably make a power supply that refuses to charge iPhones.

That’s so mischievous, that would drive someone insane trying to troubleshoot the issue. That being said, I feel like we’re above the idea of creating walled gardens.

You can still say no, because it’s not an iphone charger.

while using your phone and charger “Sorry. I don’t have a phone or charger.”
