This is a good move. Finally my partner and I, with apple and android devices respectively, can share chargers if need be.
it's a pity that Apple didn't play ball voluntarily, and had to be ordered to be nice.
- mvanbaak 7y agoLol. What if the standard turns out to be lightning?
- marcinzelent 7y agoThen it still will be standard and OP will be able to share the charger with their partner. But there is no way Lightning could be a standard because only Apple is using it.
- defnotashton2 7y agoAhh yes an expensive legislative bill is how we solve that problem, instead of a 5$, breakout cable from Amazon or most corner convince stores.
- SideburnsOfDoom 7y agoExactly. Less hassle, less wasteful, disposable electronic junk.
- defnotashton2 7y agoThe costs of the ink this regulation will be printed on will cost more than whatever its attempting to save.
- SideburnsOfDoom 7y agoThe message that it sends to companies that don't play ball, and sort something out voluntarily between themselves that is in consumers' best interests (and by this I mean Apple), will be worth it. "an expensive legislative bill" was not the first recourse to "how we solve that problem". But it is a necessary fallback.
