What does work together mean in this case, it’s not like we’re talking Ethernet where these devices are communicating to each other. Like I can’t use an android charger? Lightning to usb-c cables are pretty much standard. It seems like in the short term anyways this increases e-waste as all my old Lightning chargers become deprecated.
- cowtools 4y agoI can just plug a usb-c dock and use my android phone with a keyboard and mouse if I wanted to. I could plug two android phones together with usb-c and transfer files from one to another. Apple's phones are quite locked down, and I think a big reason why is that proprietary lightning connector. When you have a usb port for charging, there is no excuse for not implementing the full standard software-side.
- pwinnski 4y agoThere is zero chance that an iPhone with a USB-C port is going to allow phone-to-phone file transfer. You have the cause and effect reversed.
- dingleberry420 4y agoThe other day a coworker's iphone battery was nearly empty. He did not have his charger with me. I offered that he could use mine, an usbc charger that has worked for my past 3 phones and also works with my laptop. He couldn't use it. Of course, not being an iphone user, I did not have an adapter. Neither did he, considering he forgot his charger. The iphone and the usbc charger did not work together.
- pwinnski 4y agoThis story would make more sense if you mentioned that he did not have a lightning cable with him. My iPhone X is currently plugged into a USB-C charger, no problem, but it's using a USB-C -> Lightning cable. It's the cable that's the issue.
