    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?

        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 is just about the most garbage connector in the last 30 years. I’d damn near rather Apple have actually sent me a breadboard and some leads than have that connector.
