iPhone 15 is coming next month, and multiple rumors suggest Apple will finally switch from its proprietary Lightning connector to…
It used to be that Apple wanted to have their own standard in part to be able to sell more cables. By switching now, is actually not stupid- everyone have to buy new cables again
Not really, most people already have USB-C Cables. And Apple already doesn’t include Chargers in their stuff anyway.
I think I read a rumor a while back that iPhones will still limit your charge rate if you don’t have an approved cable. I don’t know if that’s still the case, but I could see it.
Sounds illegal.

I think they’ll just improve their MagSafe cable capabilities to try and get customers to buy that instead of the regular usb-c cable. But the rumor always sounded like bs to me. It’s just too on the nose.
From what I’ve read only Apple cables will work with limitations put on regular usb-c cable. Typical Apple nonsense.
Yeah and they will be hit with a brick by EU for it… But USB-C Thunderbolt should do the trick.
Apple doesn’t deserve an EU bricking, maybe a large marble slabbing or a small stone condoing.
They deserve a mountain dropping on them.
As does every US tech giant. We’ll run out of mountains
Aside from my iPhone, keyboard, trackpad, and the puck end of my watch charger I own nothing that doesn’t use USB C at this point.
