The reality is there is such a quantity of Apple Lightning cables and accessories that implementing the law would create the very problem it's trying to resolve (an entire pile of e-waste).
Would make more sense to me to legislate that if they ever change from lightning it has to be to USB-C and to move all the USB bricks to USB-C on that end.
- felixfbecker 5y agoThe reality is that Apple’s Lightning cables don’t last forever anyway (some even say they have terrible durability) and hundreds are replaced every day somewhere in the world, on a cadence of every few years max. Introducing legislation means that the next time people upgrade they’ll buy a USB-C cable instead. The “extra” waste is not as big as you or Apple make it sound like.
