Apple may have played games and not kept their word but that's not a good argument against."we shouldn't force companies on a specific connector"
Removing and patents around proprietary connectors would make sense. Forcing companies to publish the specifications of their connectors might help. Picking the most popular and locking it in for who knows how long, not such a good idea..

- ryathal 5y agoStandardization is a good thing whether it's an electrical socket, car charger, phone charger, fuel pump nozzle, audio jacks, video jacks, garden hose, or any interface really. The fact Apple has gotten away with this for so long is impressive. There would be an Unholy shitstorm rained upon Sony if they made their TVs and Play stations have proprietary connectors that required additional adapters to use with non-Sony products
