Apple promised in 2012 that it would support lightning for 10 years - yes the EU helped push them to USB-C but they had a good reason for not doing so before 2022. And it kinda worked out perfectly, in the 11th year they switched, right after they had met their promise.
- ggm 3y agoThey made the commitment, nobody made them do it. I dont think they needed to promote a 10 year horizon, they should have cooperated more strongly in the USB=C spec and not made stupid commitments
- bern4444 3y agoThat response seems a bit nonsensical... yeah they made the commitment and set a date. And then they stuck to it. I'd rather a company make and honor commitments, than never commit to anything or break them whenever they feel like it. I haven't seen their comments in the spec - but they certainly aren't opposed to USB-C given Macs have been using it for years as has the iPad.
