I feel the same way. Imagine how Steve Jobs would feel if he found out you could go to an Apple store, buy a Macbook and an iPhone, and still have to buy an additional cable to connect them together!
- saagarjha 7y agoHe'd probably be satisfied knowing that a significant fraction of iPhone users never connect their phone to their computer.
- npo9 7y agoYou don’t. Anything you need to do can be done via iCloud. Also the newest generation comes with a usb-c to lightening port.
- ridiculous_fish 7y agoHe would wonder why they need a physical cable to connect at all.
- shantly 7y agoTo charge, if you forget, misplace, or just don't want to carry your phone charger brick.
- ridiculous_fish 7y agoThe iMac caught so much flak for omitting the floppy drive.
- shantly 7y agoIt's be less ridiculous if the iphone didn't come with a USB cable. It did, though, just the "wrong" one (I understand from elsewhere in the thread they've finally fixed that, however).
- twhb 7y agoYou think that’s bad, you should’ve seen the work I had to do to plug my Model 3 into my Model S.
- sjwright 7y agoNo, Steve would correctly point out that the supplied cable isn’t for connecting to a computer, it’s to charge the phone or dock with a car. Connecting an iPhone to a Mac is a niche activity these days, and anyone who needs to do that surely understands what USB-A and USB-C are.
