If you say Louis Rossmann 3 times after saying Apple you'll get a long list of anti-consumer practices.

Most recently:

The issue with their charging ports being changed frequently and being non standard. They even tried to abuse the USBC standard just so they could get their charing cable lock in.



> The issue with their charging ports being changed frequently

iPhones have consistently had lightning since 2005

MacBooks have had USBC (compatible with all USBC plugs) since 2016

iPads Pro have had USBC (compatible with all USBC plugs) since 2018

iPhones are rumoured to join the USBC club What am I missing?

> They even tried to abuse the USBC standard

When did this happen?


iPhones did not ship until 2007, and they used a different connector (30-pin) before 2012.


My bad. I meant what you wrote.
