It was still considered a success because it at least reduced the need for proprietary AC adapters. Now it seems they want to expand on that to fix the proprietary cable/dongle issue too.
- jaywalk 5y agoYou never needed a proprietary AC adapter to charge an iPhone, just a "proprietary" cable.
- shawnz 5y agoWithout the dongle you couldn't use iPhones with micro-USB AC adapters that don't have detachable cables. However I agree that besides that specific circumstance, they were basically already compliant. The 2009 initiative wasn't targeting Apple specifically.
