    Apple’s propriety Lightning cable may offer cross-device compatibility

    I may need to see the math on this. I thought the only devices it worked across were ones apple decided it would; devices within its own offerings, specifically after relenting on its decision to NOT let them.

    It’s less “hands across America” and more “stop hitting yourself” while still not playing nice with others.

    Please show me where I’m wrong.

      What makes you say that? 90% of the users don’t even connect their iPhone to a pc anymore.

        This is true. I’m a bit biased as that is what I would do. I’d say most users will not even notice. I think most of us here on lemmy are tech heads though and we would be the ones who do connect our phones to PC.

          I consider myself more techy than the average person. I’m a developer, I used to use Linux, and I used to root my Android phones.

          I stopped connecting my phones to my computers long ago. Hardly ever had a reason to do so once I stopped rooting, unless I was using the phone as a makeshift flash drive.

          Transferring to a new phone, stuff transfers over wirelessly or backups download. I’ve got everything in the cloud these days. No real need to connect to a computer.

          That said, I do think it’s frustrating if this is a limitation of the port rather than one of the cable.

    TFW a wifi transfer literally loads files from your phone faster than a fucking cable.

    Then they’re not standards compliant and they can’t claim to have usb-c on their phones. I wonder how that will work out for them?
