    Because they co-developed it and it is the better connector if you want to do anything other than charging.

      If they co-developed it, why did it take the EU forcing them to switch to it?

        Because they wanted to stick with their lightning ecosystem for iPhone

          Read: they wanted to make money by being a huge pain in the dick

            To a certain extent, yes

        Because when they switched from the 30 pin connector to lightning, everybody bitched and moaned about it. So they promised they’d keep lightning for a decade. It’s been 11 years.

        But I’m sure if they’d broken their promise and switched earlier, everyone would have been understanding.

          Literally yes. Obstinance is not a virtue.

        Because you can make more money when you abuse your market position to sell overpriced cables.
