    I know you’re not the same person they replied to, but this is “arguing out of both sides of your mouth.”

    It can’t be that “Apple carefully plans out everything years in advance so it had to be USB-C anyway due to the difficulty in adapting a new port” and also that “they do a simple one line change in the production run to swap to USB-C” because these two things are diametrically opposed to one another.

      Hey, maybe the production process and internal documentation is so shit that it does in fact take several years in advance to plan out a simple swap of the connector XD

      Never said they carefully planned out usb c. All I said was that changing the physical port is the cheapest and most cost effective way of doing it. No need to change the entire module.

      It’s all right there. So no idea man

        I acknowledged that you weren’t the person making the initial claim right at the beginning of my comment, but the flow of the discussion here is:

        A) Initial claim: USB-C was coming anyway because it takes years to integrate this stuff into new devices

        B) Counter-argument: If it took them years to integrate this port into the device then why does it appear to be slapped together with shit data speed?

        C) Your counter counter-argument: it appears slapped together because it’s a simple one line change in the production process and is very simple

        A and C can’t be true because they’re diametrically opposed. If B and C are true then A is false.
