      Hi Apple, where's the airpower you promised? I thought you said the future is "wireless" right?

      Why not simply be bold and push full force into wireless / usb-c.. strip all your devices from 3.5mm, remove lightning, move to full usb-c (you designed it btw). Easy to use, no fuss charging and connection.

      I see.. it will hurt your profit BIG time, if you design all these, your next Q earnings will hurt... COMEON man.. Apple you are rolling in the dough!! STOP thinking about profit FOR ONCE! STOP IT, i feel so sad for Apple customers!

            With small batteries so you can fast charge your iPhone twice or maybe thrice a day!

              Let us all iOS users hope it's not just a stupid charger, it better supports some sort of charging process, that protects the battery!
              Quickcharge is here for many years, just copy it and call if Apple Supercharger for all I care.
              Just finally support a decent way to charge our devices.

                  Why not usb-c to usb-c? It is more simpler and compatible with all phone, typical ignorance-communist-thinking fruit company.

                        Apple still uses lighting for iPhone port.
                        And the wall adapter uses the USB-C port, previously using the USB-A port.
                        And yes, beside not being able to borrow the cable, iPhone users will no longer able to borrow any wall charger since most of them still use the USB-A.
                        Own two cables, or bring out both of them if go outside.

                          RIP Lightning Port.
                          Now iPhone users will no longer have to have a hard time borrowing a cable to charge their phones

                            YoloBS, 03 May 2018Well all notch copier should copy this too.They don't need to copy when many Android OEMs bundle fast/quick chargers with their phones since around 2015, and usually it's comes in the box (and not bought separately for more $$$$). Huawei for example comes with a 22.5W charger for the Mate and P Series, while OnePlus has dash charging with around the same wattage. Samsung already has Adaptive Fast Chargers out of the box for their S series. Most mid-range Android phones already have like 10W+ chargers bundled with their phones.

                              Well all notch copier should copy this too.

                                Hoping Note 9 to come with quick charge 4+ chargers.
