[–] bluepoint 4y ago ↗ Does it include a cable? [–] smackeyacky 4y ago ↗ Thankfully you can buy a robust usb c cable for $10 that lasts for years instead of the designed to fail apple cables that fail in a matter of weeks and cost $50, justifying the 86k pricetag. [–] neilalexander 4y ago ↗ If we're playing the anecdata game, then my drawer full of frequently used and yet still perfectly fine Apple cables would like a word with you.

[–] arthurcolle 4y ago ↗ EU already ruled they have to start using USB-C for new iPhones starting in 2024 [–] TheMode 4y ago ↗ Copy? Do you believe them not using usb-c has anything to do with knowledge?
