Granted, the pluggy-end of a battery is a pretty benign place to put it. Apple probably has warehouses full of these connectors that need somewhere to go now that OEMs won't pay to license it. Dropping it in a battery is sorta annoying and arguably obsolete but also not the end of the world.
Now, if they could axe Lightning on the Magic Keyboard/Trackpad, that'd be greaaaaaat.
- rx_tx 3y agoIt's actually different than the OG Lightning, it's quite wider. (the tweet has comparison pics) There's actually another undocumented pin-hole ejection feature in apple hardware. ifixit found during their teardown of airpod Max that you can disconnect/remove the earcup in one go with a sim tool, allowing for theoretical easy mix and match (or headband replacement) [1] [1] : https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/AirPods+Max+Teardown/139369#s278310 https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/AirPods+Max+Teardown/139369#...
- smoldesu 3y agoInteresting, thanks for calling that out. Hopefully Apple will adopt this on iPhone and finally bring us sweet, sweet expandable storage!

- rasz 3y agoApple doesnt warehouse parts, and it doesnt care if Foxconn has too much connectors left over. Its not a $ issue, we are talking $0.06 USB C connector here on a $3500 product.
