Would Apple have swapped to USB-C if it wasn't for the EU?? 🤔

[ashchbkv]

4:43 "Buying new accessories was just something that Apple didn't wanna force upon its consumers." LMAO

[kienhwengtai]

USB C was in other Apple products ... except iPhones, they could have done it a lot earlier.

[ashchbkv]

Apple NEVER waited, they only made this change because the EU forced them to. "Waited" implies that they had the intention to change but didn't, they never had that and the only thing they had in mind was $$$.

[DiaXisHD]

I’m sure Apple would have made a proprietary usb-c-based lightning adapter if not for EU

[nikyabodigital]

Might as well have governmenr department that focuses in these compliance. Like imagine a world where everything is USB C. Like literally. Even HDMI becomes usb c.. headphone jack becomes USB C everything. That's pure convenience right there.

[ExtantThylacine]

The delusion of Apple fans is beyond me. There is no backstory as to why Apple are only now switching to type-C. It's purely because the EU has forced them to do so.

And the fact this guy can tell you with a straight face that Apple doesn't want to sell you additional adapters and connectors should tell you just how deluded this guy is.

Apple waited until now because Apple waited until now. You’re welcome.

[WillBowers]

Sick vid homie. I love that we hit publish within a minute of each other hahaha

[Si-mcbb]

The EU forced them to make the change end of story

[Leonardoooo_]

Is it true that Apple can still customise the charging speed and other functions on the USB-C even if it’s not proprietary standard like Lighting?

[KevinCruz-puue]

If you don't want to sit through 8 minutes of this guy slobbing Apple's knob, just skip to 6:49.

Lightning was actually born from Apple contributing to the USB Forum for what would be called USB-C. Which was initially started by Intel to create a standardized port that would also be cross compatible with their Thunderbolt protocol. Apple played a big part along with Intel in designing USB-C. But USB-C was taking too long for Apple, so they took their contributions, inverted the pins and called it Lightning (sound familiar?)

[augustkoeniger]

thanks a lot 🙏🙏 Does Apple offer the ideal cable for the new iPhone pro Max? That means: What kind of cable should I buy? best regards 🎈

[samiasfaw]

I want to buy iphone 13 but I am scared that after months I cannot find lighting cable

[onlymuppet]

It’s so funny to see people praising the switch to USB-C and whining about how hard it was to have two cords before. As if one cord was twice as thick and heavier, like it was a giant extension cord. I have both a C and Lightning cable in my duel port car charger and home charger. If I have to travel, the weight of one cord vs two is not even noticeable and wouldn’t take up extra room. And having chargers with more than one port isn’t exactly expensive compared to the cost of replacing all your lightning compatible accessories. I’ve never had a cord and break, If the end has a bad connection. Cleaning it off or rubbing a piece of sand paper fixes it.

Great explanation! Can’t wait for my friends and parents to complain about Apple changing the port again - when they do, I will send them this video to explain!

[thesamuelnam]

Money. Going USB C means they lose licensing profits.

I have creative SXFI TRIO headphones (TYPE-C connector), How to use in iPhone 13 pro max ( converts to buy )

[denicandra]

Apple wait until UE made the rule if it's not because of UE i doubt they will change to usb type c, cuz lighting port are one of the money printing machines for them
