- jmye 3y agoWhy would I find a cable at a friends house? I charge my phone at home, at night. With one of the cables that also work with my earphones and tablet.
- jdlshore 3y agoSome people have sexy friends that invite them to stay the night. Some people stay with family. Some people use their phones a lot and need to charge away from home. Some people have worn out batteries that don’t hold much charge.
- wpm 3y agoI carry an external battery and a cable when I know I’m gonna be gone long enough that my phone dying is a remote possibility.
- IshKebab 3y agoI don't think anybody is saying that there are no people without friends, or people that have weird cable/battery obsessions. They're just a small minority so it doesn't make sense to make laws cater to just them.

- jmye 3y agoSome people figure out how to carry their charger in 99% of those cases. Some of those people are still on lightning. Some of them have Qi chargers that already work universally. This is absolutely not a problem for anyone over the age of 18 or with a modicum of personal responsibility. But hey, at least you’ve legislated a solution that enhances nothing technical, but makes sure that someday you can… borrow a cable? Cool. Big add. Thanks, EU.
- bouke 3y agoLightning is standardised across my friends and family, so being the weird one out with usb-c doesn’t improve my user experience.
