How many of you dweebs complaining about Apple “constantly changing connectors” and “making you buy proprietary cables” with every new phone realize that they’ve been using the same connector for over a DECADE now? I’m all for reducing e-waste, but come on. If you don’t like their stuff, don’t buy it.
I bought a Samsung. Then I bought a one plus. Then I bought a pixel.
Imagine if I had to throw out my charging cables every time I changed brands. Imagine if everyone acted like Apple. It would be incredibly degenerate.
Also, everyone brings up micro USB, but those cables still find a ton of use in my home for all the different other devices that use it. I'm not gonna find an Xbox controller that uses lightning cables for example.
“Imagine if everyone acted like Apple” uh. They did until usb c came out.
The last phone I owned that had a propriety cable, apart from Apple, was a Sony-Ericsson Walkman phone. There was also the Sony Xperia phones, but they had USB as well as their proprietary connector. This was well over a decade ago.
