What happens when usb version N+1 has another incompatible plug type again
- Kirby64 4y agoThe European law is supposed to have a provision in it for review and modification - so in the event we get USB-D or whatever, there should be a mechanism to incorporate that in.
- olliej 4y agoThe point is when a new incompatible plug happens you have to replace your existing accessories, and accessory manufacturers have to choose which hardware is supported, or everyone has the dreaded adapters.
- lillecarl 4y agoI'd rather have one adapter that fits between all my old and all my "new" devices than 99 competing standards with no adapters whatsoever.
- olliej 4y agoHN commenters have spent years complaining about Apple's adoption of usb-c, except in the single case of it being forced on iDevices, where it is clearly the only thing that could possibly be considered. Almost every "universal" device I go out to buy today requires a usb-c adapter, despite the apparent prevalence of usb-c Android devices?
- hulitu 4y agoIpods do not have USB-C.
- stevenalowe 4y agoThis kind of law practically guarantees there will be no usb-D, E, or X. It hardcodes inertia
- MrJohz 4y agoIt already exists for micro-USB, and USB-C was developed later - evidentially, this claim does not appear to be true.
- fshbbdssbbgdd 4y agoApple is selling phones with Lightning, so it doesn’t seem to be true that they have been required to use micro-USB.
- stevenalowe 4y agoThe law itself may have stifled the creation of other power systems; we may have had micro-usb-G by now without it
- hulitu 4y agoBecause every year we need a different connector for the same shit. The only thing that was changes was Google restricting access to filesystem over USB.
- hulitu 4y agoYou just store it on Github, like any respectable library. /s
