- supercoder 10y agoThey'll just provide some dinky adapter.
- dave84 10y agoWhich is essentially meaningless right? My EU iPhone still has a Lightning port, but sure the other end of the cable is USB.
- johnchristopher 10y agoOh no, it's not. It's really a good thing that wherever you go now you know you can charge your phone with anybody's charger or computer. The iPhone is a minor special case.
- iainmerrick 10y agoExactly -- people forget that every phone used to have its own special power cable until the EU forced them to standardise. It was such a pain, especially for developers working with multiple phones, but even just trying to figure out which power brick is whose in a normal household!
