> forcing Apple devices to use USB-C was a bellweather.
Apple has been migrating all of their devices over to USB-C for years. The iPhone has been a holdout because people will bitch about not being able to use their 10 years of accumulated lightning cables. I hate to have sympathy for a big corp, but c'mon, nothing they do will appease everyone.
- Etheryte 4y agoI don't think this take holds up to scrutiny. Unless I've missed any recent news, Apple has currently said they will switch the iPhone to USB-C for the EU market but keep the lightning connector in the US.
- bombcar 4y agoApple always says they won’t change anything until they suddenly announce that changing the thing is the most bestest advance ever.
- rootusrootus 4y agoAnd that makes them like literally every other company in the entire world.
- rootusrootus 4y agoThen why have they switched literally every other device to USB-C?
