It's not EU's loathsome meddling, it's Apple's loathsome insistince on using a proprietary cable for years and years to make an extra buck that has your knickers in a twist now.
- misnome 3y agoWhich cable should they have used instead?
- ThatPlayer 3y agoThey shouldn't have made it proprietary. Lightning could've been the USB-C instead of what we got.
- blokey 3y agoYou do realize that Apple designed the connector for USB-C and donated it to the consortium.
- ThatPlayer 3y agoSo why not do that with Lightning too? It's still proprietary to this day.
- CrimsonRain 3y agoI've read rumors that they actually did that first but due to politics, the USB consortium decided to use a new physical port design.
- sbuk 3y agoWell blame the consortium members that rejected it over Micro USB!
- Moldoteck 3y agoSwitch to usb-c just like they did with ipads? And laptops?
- robertoandred 3y agoThere was no USB-C in 2012.
- Moldoteck 3y agoYes, but now it's 2023, 11 years seems enough to switch from an old usb2.0 port
- robertoandred 3y agoIt wasn't enough time to switch from the Dock connector to Lightning.
