in what ways were lightning better than mini and micro? i believe you, i liked lightning because it can double as cable for earphones and it could plug in both ways
usb standards are all over the place; theyre a fucking mess.

The fact the USB-C cables can be visually identical but not have the same physical capabilities is insane. I cannot wait for people to realize how fucked his can be, once their iPhone cable wont properly charge their Mac etc.
Probably why I said mini and micro usb and not USB-C because I was talking about mini and micro usb

Why would you be talking about completely irrelevant tech to the thread?

Because someone asked why apple adopted lightning in the first place. USB-C did not exist at that time and mini usb and micro usb were the only other choices
>why didn't apple use a standard that wouldn't allow them to make billions in royalties until forced to at what is essentially gunpoint?
>USBbros.... we fucking w-ACK!
>this retarded shit again
I can just see it now: millions upon millions of people storming apple stores, flipping over displays and crucifying employees. And while its all happening, a chant can be heard rising above the chaos:
"GIVE US USB 3"
Apple's marketing is based heavily on being a part of a cool ingroup. Everyone in the apple community is compatible with each other but not outsiders. See imessage
if there's any tech brand I'll shamelessly shill it's this one, none of their shit has ever given me a problem and works with everything apple to android and laptops alike
>replace 1 outlet with 3 USB ports >30W
it's almost as stupid as this thing from my cunt >replace outlet with pathetic 15W USB-C
no thanks I'll just put and outlet and plug in a proper charger? who the fuck is this for?
nobody can do these right
>they don't even ship a charger with their phones anymore.
Doesn't everyone? I bought a electric toothbrush years ago and it didn't come with a charging brick.

it's an old technique. they make money off official accessories. they don't even ship a charger with their phones anymore.

They still make money with royalities and licensing. Do you even know what connector thunderbolt is using? Or that USB-C supports proprietary extensions and apple can and will cash in with theirs.
USB-C is the wet dream if you want to scam customers. Yes, you got the same connector, but your cable isn't Apple approved, so guess you get cucked..
Firewire is way older than USB, and lightning came out 2 years before the USB-C spec was finished. That being said, they should have ditched lightning way sooner.
This is going to be really funny because everyone I know calls it the "iphone cable" and they dont know what usb-c is and assume its some weird nerd thing
Real cope is when iToddlers say >"Apple might not be first, but they do it right." when they find out that their precious revolutionary technology has been in other products for YEARS.
Thank you European Union.
Almost makes me not hate paying more than 50% in taxes, after which I still have to pay 24% VAT
23% here, doesn't feel any better
27 in Orbanland
The one good thing the EU has ever done.
why was Apple trying to push Firewire and Lightning anyway? why didn't they just use USB and mini-USB back in the day like everyone else?
>Firewire
Predates USB, duh.
>mini-USB
Eww.
Lightning is much more convenient. And it predates USB-C.
>convenient
How? They're both same size, other works only for iphones, other works for everything.
mini and micro usb are dogshit. I dont blame apple for telling them to fuck off
in what ways were lightning better than mini and micro? i believe you, i liked lightning because it can double as cable for earphones and it could plug in both ways
also theyre easier to clean.
usb standards are all over the place; theyre a fucking mess.

reversible, no tabs, no pins on the cable. Its a nice connector.
Usb C is not mini or micro usb

Learn to read a fucking thread
>How?
Have you not seen their shapes?
Yeah, I interact with them daily. It's no different from using a usb C cable. Except that nothing else works with it.
>It's no different from using a usb C cable
Yep. In other words, much more convenient than mini-USB crap.
Usb C indeed beats the slightly less convenient mini and micro ports

Yeah, you're right. iPhone users are too retarded to understand the difference between USB 2 and 3

Stop believing everything you read just because it agrees with your biases
that's not a charger nagger
Hes referring to the lack of a charging brick.
What would I plug this cable into?
Your asshole.
the usb-c port on any of your devices retard
>he doesn't have a usb wall outlet

Anker is pretty dang good.

Do mactards really?
I've never seen an outlet that high on the wall.
It's not a real photo, but a 3D rendering.

fucking zoomer doesn't even know that both of those predate what he suggested

>USBbros.... we fucking w-ACK!
dumb nagger
how much action can i get from the action button
with those digits, as much as you want
$66,000.00 USD dollars per nanogram Anon
nice digits
Only for the pro.
>gatekeeping usb 3 for $200 more
Apple israelite have outdone themselves this year.
This is going to be really funny because everyone I know calls it the "iphone cable" and they dont know what usb-c is and assume its some weird nerd thing
Any macfag knows what a USB-c cable is
EVROPA WON
keep consuming wagies
See, Apple? Following universal standards isn't so hard after all now, is it?
If Apple can use USB-C globally, they can enable sideloading globally too.
How can you possibly misuse usb-c
See
and
Give me an actual answer
Yeah but they're not going to outside the EU unless they're forced too as well. The app store brings in billions a year
And everyone else lost.
>inb4 cretins that unironically believe USB-C is mechanically better than lightning
except it is because it has twice the pins
The normal iPhone has only USB 2. Imagine spending $800 to get USB 2.
Applebros always lose.
For me it’s the all day battery
damn you don't need a battery when plugged in? amazing! Apple are incredible innovators
How new are you guys?
Apple invented breathing
I don’t browse LULZ but I’m an ancientfag from 2014
>ancientfag
lol, lmao even, I'm from 2012 and consider myself a newfag
>2014 is now ancient
I’ve been here since 2011 and I’m still a newfag.
I’ve been here since 2009 and still view things with wonder and optimism. I mean, I tried to kill myself since then, but still…
i have been here since 2006, you utter babies
calm down, old man
remember the text-only boards?
Kek. Why would anyone go on a boarding site with just text? Lol
No way this is real
Glad I got an iPhone 14 Pro, the last good iPhone before the USB-C collapse.
Get gaped by the big USB-Cock you slut
>usb-c, 10 gbps
Holy shit, welcome to 2013, guys.
>>usb-c, 10 gbps
>Holy shit, welcome to 2013, guys.
cope. even with a m.2 ssd in your computer you can't transfer faster more than 7.45gbps
Real cope is when iToddlers say
>"Apple might not be first, but they do it right." when they find out that their precious revolutionary technology has been in other products for YEARS.
please learn the difference between gigaBITS and gigaBYTES
>zomg 10gbps
>so what if you could do 10gbps since 2013?? you could only do 7.45gbps since then!!
thank god. I'm so tired of never being able to charge my android when I visit a normie friend.
Apple bent the knee to the EU. LMAO.
next comes sideloading.
Yes but that's for EU only. The app store makes too many billions a year to bring it to everyone else
>EU only
just like USB-C?
That's not the same. Everyone can already side load, it's for app stores other than THE app store, software only
>"reportedly"
will believe it when i see it
Why did they make the new one have squared edges again instead of rounded?
