If you need to sell it on both markets and can't have two production lines, I guess your product will have USB-C port and your superior charging port, like the new MacBooks having type-C and magsafe.
- throwaway50606 4y agoAnd that's supposed to be good? I really don't understand this world...
- mrtksn 4y agoIt's good because until you invent this new cable, we can have everything work with USB-C. Not betting on your ability to come up with a new type of charging cable is not as big deal as you imagining it is. Maybe you should come up with a prototype before demanding all type of charging cables be allowed?
- throwaway50606 4y agoAnd what do I do with the prototype then? There's nobody buying.
- mrtksn 4y agoThis probably means your invention don't add enough value. Throw it away like all other prototypes who fail to create enough value to warrant a production line.
- throwaway50606 4y agoNo, it means somebody regulated a single connector type.
- mrtksn 4y agoI guess all failed inventors and entrepreneurs have someone to blame.
- throwaway50606 4y agoNobody is even going to be trying after this comes into effect.
- bonzini 4y agoHaving three computers of different brands in the family (an HP, a Lenovo and a Microsoft Surface), it's certainly been useful in the past to be able to share a single charging port for all computers and most phones in the family. In fact, USB-C and magsafe are complementary. USB-C is commonly used by displays to provide docking station functionality, so I can buy any display and use it with any computer (instead of having to buy a proprietary docking station that is different for each model). If I'm travelling, I can enjoy the more robust magsafe connector but I can also use USB-C if needed.
