It’s been a long time coming on the phone, but people acting like Apple wasn’t a major player in the USB consortiums push to get type C standardized for everything is always fun.
Yeah no, no one is acting that way. We’re all well aware of Apple’s USB-C only push on the other devices, we’re referring to the phones. I can’t believe this has to be said.
Between the first article I already provided, and being in Cell Phone repair at the time when the switch from 30-pin to lightening happened I don’t think you realize how much flak Apple has caught each time they come out with devices with different connectors. The amount of people that quickly jump to “they’re just trying to make their customers pay more.”
I mean, the switch from 30-pin was full of people saying it was just so Apple could sell new accessories to people. Even though lightening was a better solution than 30-pin or Mirco B of the time.
I don’t know if you’ve been in the industry like me, but trust me, if you had you’d understand why Apple stuck to lightening as long as they did. It was a great connector for its time and served its purpose.
