jquery was downvoted but I recall articles like this (https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/17/21070848/eu-apple-european-commission-common-charger-lightning-cable-port https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/17/21070848/eu-apple-europea...) with the EU trying to ban any "non-standard" connector.
Maybe non-standard connectors are actually a feature, not a bug, because everything having the same connector but not the same functionality will lead to confusion as described above.
- 8note 5y agoI don't think it was ever true that the connectors on the two devices determine whether they're compatible. You can find all sorts of different connectors on a cable to connect two devices together, but you still only knew that devices are/are not compatible by trying to plug them in At least with the current setup, you are unlikely to burn out the devices by trying a cable.
