Because gov't moves as fast as innovation /s
- SiempreViernes 7y agoYou mean you miss the good old innovative days when every phone model had its own charger? The days where you needed special proprietary software to access any part of your phone if you connected it with to a computer using its special cable? I remember losing plenty of sms history and contacts when changing phones because the dedicated phone software was too old to run on my windows, and the dodgy program I found on the internet wouldn't work with my specific model. I also remember how in these heady days of unbridled innovation my girlfriend saved her sms's by writing them down on paper. And this was a fairly sensible solution to the innovation rich state of the market, where every manufacturer and close to every individual model, was its own silo.
- eanzenberg 7y agoSeems like the free market solved all the probs you mentioned, so yeah.
- LaGrange 7y agoIt's good that they don't. I'm fine waiting a bit longer for a slightly better charger port.
- oxfordmale 7y agoApple could define an USB-D standard tomorrow and use it for their phone charging cables, as longs as they allow other companies to use the same standard.
- labawi 7y agoI don't think it works that way. They need to actually agree, use it, and you can't switch every day.
