      No it’s because they promised to support lightning for 15 years, that’s the level of trust partners can put into apple which can’t be done for any other oem, especially shitty lagdroids

        Thanks for transporting me back to 2013 for a second. I didn’t realize anyone was still doing the iPhone vs Android flamewar nonsense lmao

        they promised to support lightning for 15 years

        Citation needed - couldn’t find a single source corroborating that

        And honestly who gives a fuck about iPhone vs Android in 2023? It’s just a phone…

          In September 2012, Apple announced the Lightning connector with the promise of being a “modern connector for the next decade.”

          Link to 9-5 Mac

          They specified 10 years (and I believe they said this because of the huge backlash of switching from the 30 pin connector) but I don’t know if they were truly saying it was going to last 10 years. Either way I’m glad they’re switching and I’ll probably turn in my 12 Pro for USB-C even though this phone is fine as is. Just hate carrying extra cables when I go on vacation and such.

          Also don’t get the iPhone vs Android “war”. When I tell people I’ve gone from Android to Apple to Android and settled on Apple people think I’m crazy.

            Lmao that definitely sounds like a completely binding agreement and definitely not equivalent to one that companies routinely walk back

            “Don’t be evil” “Netflix: love is sharing your password” etc.

              Exactly, but I do wonder if the huge backlash from before was maybe a thought in the back of their mind. But I would bet it’s mostly getting licensing fees from MFi.
