buying overpriced equipment (apple) while complaining that with low wage you really feel the difference of price for a freakin' charger doesn't make much sense.

- striking 11y agoIn this case, the Apple charger is the only one you'll be able to get, because USB3.1 is restricting the group of people that can make chargers. That or the licensing will make it prohibitively expensive no matter what. Pick your poison, I suppose. Seriously, the tech situation in Poland is really sad. We don't need USB3.1 making it worse.

- StavrosK 11y agoIt doesn't make sense to complain that an accessory you can buy for $5 will now cost $30 because your phone is expensive? How does that line of reasoning even follow? This is literally the same as saying "I won't be able to afford higher cigarette prices" "well don't get an expensive phone then".
- wila 11y agoI lived in a country where $10 was a normal day wage. Lots and lots of iPhones there. It is a choice, THEIR choice. It is not up to you (or me) to be snobby and tell them not to buy expensive products because they don't earn enough money to do so. When the charger that comes with the product breaks they'll need another one. If they can buy a cheap one that "just works" then yes that will make a difference. Even if the cheap one isn't certified. Not all of them are the horrific death traps that have been highlighted.
