"Intrducing The all-new Apple C. Designed by our top engineers to bring iPhone the greatest cable transfer speeds of all time. We love our customers but we love mon-I mean the Environment, and so we've removed the cable itself from the box. And it's available for the low price of only $250."

I am always wondering, people who actually laugh about these super cringy insanely beaten-to-death jokes: Are they 13 or already 14 years old?

Apple tried that exact dongle-based loophole years ago when the push for a standardized charger was more of a request than a hard rule, & the EU weren't happy about it.

A standardized charger has nothing to do with the port on the device, when will people finally get this.

At the end of the day, many people just want to quickly open an app; they don't stare lovingly at their icon feng shui.

I was a bit spoiled by Android feng shui back then because on how extremely restrictive iOS back then. Remember when in pre-iOS 4 era you can't even change your homescreen wallpaper.

Oh, I'm sure. I've run into more than a few people whose feature requests boil down to "just make an iPhone running Android..." which really means they were never going to get an iPhone in the first place.

It's the same people who wish they can get iPhone 13 Pro-like performance and efficiency but on Android. I've seen a lot of battery drain tests on YouTube and the 13 Pro Max is still the phone to beat despite having a smaller battery. But in my opinion, even if Apple were to make their A-series chips available off the shelf to other OEMs it would still perform way better on iOS.

Quite possibly the former. But eh, I found it funny.

I don't really expect it to happen, if that matters.

heir reluctance to switch to USB-C on the iPhone is baffling.

only if you don't look at the GIANT infrastructure of lightning based accessories that are out there. When apple switched from Dock to lightning there was tons of bitching about people having to now buy new accessories, not to mention all the companies that make them. (nor does it take into account money made from the certification program)

 

 

So not really baffeling, unless your only concern is having 1 cable instead of two and haven't bothered to think of a bigger picture.

It's the usual business by rabid Apple haters. You should look at cancerous comment section of GSMArena to see more of this dumb crap and all the cringy idiotic names they come up with like constant use of stupid "Tim Apple" and crApple etc... It's funny once, reading this idiocy day after day becomes cringy, tiring and just annoying.
