    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.

          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.

      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.
