Why is a phone using a connector pretty much every other phone uses… news?
Because of apple’s size. And because we just witnessed a death of a proprietary connector. A major win for the consumer and for the universtal serial bus projects overall mission.
On a side note. Apple has been part of the usb c project from the beginning and based on some biographies - they worked hard to never release Lightning. But they needed to drop the old 30pin connector and found usb C not ready when they needed it - so they release the lightning port instead. Then stuck to it for obvious profit /ecosystem reasons.
Because, to put it crudely, the EU just reminded cooperations they are not in charge
I see what you did there
Because another connector has been stubbornly used for years and there’s a whole ecosystem of cables and peripherals made for that, now outdated, connector.
I don’t think anyone can say in good faith this isn’t a pretty big deal.
