> I wish @Apple would devote an employee or two to cracking down on such a technological, psychological abomination as this. OP wants want Apple to crack down on open standards? What tyrant king declared that Bluetooth devices need to be powered by separate batteries? I think this is an ingenious solution, to a problem Apple created in a way that should be illegal, no less. And one less battery in the landfill on top of it! Interestingly, Apple’s own keyboards and mice pair to Bluetooth automatically using lighting cables. I think this is a case where the first world perspective is blind to the burdens that big multinational corporations put on poorer countries. A $4 Apple lightning license may seem like no big deal to a high income country’s citizen but the rest of the world is used to electronics like this costing less ~$5 or less.
