I expect that this is a battle that Apple will lose. But I don't think they really care that much - because there is neither business or technical justification for a custom connector. Now they can focus on highlighting why their AC converters are superior - which generally they are.
- masklinn 5y agoI expect this is a battle that Apple isn't even trying to fight: they just released an USB-C iPad, and next year marks the 10th anniversary of Lightning. The dock connector lasted ~10 years (it was first made available in 2003, lightning was released in 2012, the 30pin stopped being produced in 2014 outside of India).
