Apple knew it too. Even without pressure from the EU’s upcoming laws around USBC, they knew we would all riot if they clung to Lightning. iPads, Macs, have all moved on.

Just. USBC all the things. Let me die in a world with one fucking cable. Please. Can we at least do that as a society?

C'mon, Apple doesn't give a shit if people riot over USB.

The ONLY reason this is happening is regulation. Apple would keep their shitty proprietary wire forever if they could. Compatibility with other hardware does not matter to a company with a fully closed ecosystem like Apple.

It’s really frustrating how stubborn and backward Apple has been with the iPhone. It’s 100% just so they can use a proprietary cable.

The crazy thing is they were on the consortium that helped develop USB-C and had one of the very first computers to even have the port! MacBook Pros were ALL USB-C at a time when there were close to zero accessory makers supporting the then brand new cable.

Anyway, extremely happy that lightning will finally die.

They even begin to implement it in some beats products before going all usb-c.

Nah, eventually they'd replace it with another shitty proprietary cable

Incoming proprietary cable that won’t let you data transfer or charge beyond 5w if you use a generic one.

Is that allowed with the EU regulations?
