I’m out of the loop. What did they do now?
Apple will have a USB-C connector (capable of fast charging tech), but will only support slow 5V charging (for most non-apple chargers?)…
This is wrong. The iPhone must comply with Power Delivery at 100W and must use USB-C. It’s the EU reglementation. Now,the trick can be they don’t follow this outside the EU.
is this confirmed or just a rumor? can’t find any sources atm
Nope, me neither.
Honestly, I find this preferable. I only charge at night and a battery that charges slowly lasts longer.
Yeah if the cable ist USB-C to lightning.
expired
Apple would rather take a fine than complying tho.
Even if that fine is 10% of their yearly revenue? I doubt it…
Depends. But they’ve done it before.
The irony is that I have a bunch of lightning cables because I’ve been using an iPhone with AirPods for years. So when I finally upgrade, a bunch of my old cables will end up as e-waste.
Hey, just like 30 pin cables.
If you think like this you could never chance a single thing. People coming from android will be able to use the same cables, people changing vice versa will also be able to use the same cables. People can use the old cables with old phones until they brake and they will brake sooner or later.
or you could give them to someone who still uses an iPhone with a lightning connector. You could even sell them.
Well you buy apple products so you already had a bunch of e-waste
Is that any different from any other company that sells electronics, except perhaps Fairphone?
I’m waiting for the bad faith at the keynote. It will be funny.
