I'm more worried about companies forbidding third party cables or bricking cables you own. "Sorry, this cable was only licensed for 100 charging cycles. Please buy a new one, for your safety of course."

- pc86 4y agoWhere in the comment above do they even mention Apple?
- boramalper 4y agoI don’t like their tone but they have a point. Historically Apple has been fussier than many other companies.
- hooverd 4y agoIf anything, consumer hardware is amazingly fungible, compared to the things B2B manufacturers do.
- hooverd 4y agoI didn't say anything about Apple. I just don't trust hardware companies to not DRM everything if they know they can get away with it.
- tpxl 4y agoI have been given a 'you need an official USB-C - 3.5mm jack adapter' warning by a non-apple brand. So yeah, this is happening.
- pathartl 4y agoNo reason to forbid cables when you can just remove physical ports.
