"there's a million and 1 USB-C chargers from many different manufactures"
How many of these are compliant with specs? How would you know? If you fry your $1000 iPhone due to choosing incorrectly, will Apple refund you?

- tinus_hn 5y agoI love how in one hand HackerNews is gushing over how the EU might perhaps be planning to mandate USB-C ports in iPhones for the 50th time, and on the other hand HackerNews wants to live in a world where Apple users have to be compensated for only being able to use Apple chargers for their standard USB-C ports. This story is not about standards or chargers, it can be shortened to Hurr durr Apple bad LOL amirite!
