If every cell phone brand acted like Apple we would have like thirty different proprietary chargers.

We shouldn't give them a pass just because they're the only ones brazen enough to be stupid.

    USB C didn't exist when Apple made the lightning connector.

    Are they idiots, or are they innovators and the rest are just trying to catch up?

    USB C didn't exist, but it was being developed, and apple was on the USB-IF forum which developed it. So literally part of apple was developing USB-C while another part decided "nah, we will make our own" and of course it takes less time to make your own than to make something everyone agrees on.

    Micro USB did.

    And then instead of making a connector like USB-C that everyone could use they made their own proprietary one.

    Micro usb sucked.

    It was weird how you’d go to plug it in in the darkness of night, and it wouldn’t fit, so you’d rotate it, but inexplicably it still wouldn’t fit, so you rotate it again….and now it fits?!?

    No thank you, I don’t like cables that break the fabric of space and time and betray reality itself.
