    Lightning was actually born from Apple contributing to the USB Forum for what would be called USB-C. Which was initially started by Intel to create a standardized port that would also be cross compatible with their Thunderbolt protocol. Apple played a big part along with Intel in designing USB-C. But USB-C was taking too long for Apple, so they took their contributions, inverted the pins and called it Lightning (sound familiar?)

    The delusion of Apple fans is beyond me. There is no backstory as to why Apple are only now switching to type-C. It's purely because the EU has forced them to do so.
    And the fact this guy can tell you with a straight face that Apple doesn't want to sell you additional adapters and connectors should tell you just how deluded this guy is.

  • @only1muppet
    @only1muppet 8 місяців тому +1

    It’s so funny to see people praising the switch to USB-C and whining about how hard it was to have two cords before. As if one cord was twice as thick and heavier, like it was a giant extension cord. I have both a C and Lightning cable in my duel port car charger and home charger. If I have to travel, the weight of one cord vs two is not even noticeable and wouldn’t take up extra room. And having chargers with more than one port isn’t exactly expensive compared to the cost of replacing all your lightning compatible accessories. I’ve never had a cord and break, If the end has a bad connection. Cleaning it off or rubbing a piece of sand paper fixes it.

      It’s not a bad cable. But even Macs and iPads have USB C. Not to mention, thousands of other devices. So it’s good to carry just one cable for all most of my devices. I will have original AirPods Pro, Apple Watch, and then cycling equip that uses micro USB. But it’s a step in the right direction.

    Apple waited because they're petty and needed to be nudged to change, and because they see it as being "forced" even though all of their other products already have usb-c they had a hissy fit and implemented usb-c into the iPhone in the most back-handed way possible

      they weren't being petty, it's a matter of money. accessory makers needed to license lightning so apple made money off each cable produced; with usb-c being an open standard, they can't do that anymore and are losing a valuable revenue stream. stop personifying and projecting emotions onto corporations. their job is to make as much money as possible to please their investors.
