So they also gimped their USBC port to sell more airpods. What a surprise that is. There's no lengths that Apple won't go to to sell more dongles or overpriced

- lxgr 2y agoSo from the observation "a Google USB-C device does not work properly on an Apple phone", you immediately arrive at "Apple must be out of spec"? I'd also be really curious what's going on here, but you just seem to have an axe to grind. In my experience, Apple has been pretty ok at complying with standards (assuming they even implement a given one, anyway). For example, I've had a USB-C Chromebook charger that would cycle on and off when connected to my Macbook, while several other USB-C chargers (including very particular ones like the Nintendo Switch one) were able to charge it without any problem. From my point of view, the one Google product I used was the outlier, but I wouldn't go as far as saying "Google's USB-C implementations are crap and a money grab".
- brokenmachine 2y agoI also have a coworker who is an Apple victim who had previously complained to me that he couldn't get the microphone on his headset working with his iPhone, but I don't know what brand the headset was. So that made me even more inclined to think Apple has gimped their USBC ports to sell more dongles and airpods.
