Why wouldn't Apple make this their default offerings? Then they'd rather be applauded for keeping sanity over changes. This is getting typical of Apple.

- otterley 10y agoImagine you were going the opposite direction: From a set of standard all-in-one ports that could bring power, data, etc., but where a magnetic power cord option were available, to a bespoke and dedicated but very expensive power adapter and cord that only worked with Apple products. How would that make you feel?

- otterley 10y agoTough call on that one. Enough people were upset about the iPod connector going away, and now that the world is just becoming awash in Lightning connectors, another change was probably deemed too risky right now. I can see them moving to a USB-C connector in 5 years or so, maybe as early as next year (but I doubt it).
