I think Apple seeds these rumors to get a feel for how the market will handle it as well as set expectations. By the time an iPhone will be released with a gimped USB-C port, people will be bored with arguing over it and have reached acceptance.
- rootusrootus 4y agoAre there examples of them doing this in the past? What would be the upside for them to do it now? How do they achieve 'acceptance' when users would notice the difference in charging speed every time they plugged in their phone and iPad?

Because by the time the iPhone drops with the gimped USB-C, people will just accept that that's the price to pay stick with Apple products.

The average Apple user doesn't read HN, they're just your average joe who plugs their apple phone into their apple charger with their apple headphones and scrolls through tiktok Us nerds can scream and shout all we want but I don't think we'd ever make a dent in their sales
