- taylodl 5y agoBut it means the regulators will have to do their job rather than claim some pyrrhic victory over Apple. It was 9 years ago when Apple switched from the 30 pin connector to the Lightning connector. There was an uproar. I recall Apple promising they would keep Lightning for at least 10 years. Guess what? Next year is the 10 year mark. Meanwhile, what has changed in the market? Lightning inspired USB-C. Apple has adopted USB-C on their MacBook and iPad devices. Guess what next year's iPhone, released on the 10th anniversary of adopting Lightning, is likely to have? A USB-C port. This is really much ado over nothing. The regulators haven't actually done anything but they'll pawn it off that they took the fight to Apple and won. This is what passes for leadership these days.
