        This is funny.
        I just remember, one of the apple fan here saying "apple company is most influential' because everyone copied them. Now apol will be using a USB-type C, but, for 2020.

          No, They are innovating their own one named UBS-C as gsmarena writes. :)

            AppleFan45, 15 Jan 2019and people say Apple are a stubborn company pahaha They will put small IC inside cable to detect and sync between cable, phone and charger. And when there is any inconsistentcy they'll automatically throttle it to 5W charging or 1MB/s data transfer for "compatibility/safety reason"

              If Apple wants to get out of the dump, they must also
              switch to microSD card slot, 3.5mm jack and FM radio.
              If they have plans for the future ...

                  Jeez, the comments are toxic. I know Apple is totally anti-consumer with their proprietary gears and their jack removal but they can't be that bad. Apple, just like Qi Wireless Charging, will never proprietize a standard like USB-C.

If the accesory or charger in this case, is authorized $$$, it works, if not, they'll tell you that that thing doesn't have the $quality$ they want. But if the sales continue dropping and they want to maintain their overprices and high margin profits, perhaps put USB-C without restrictions is their only way to attract some lost customers.

                            Such as the godly ipad pro 2018 but they forgot to make it durable on the middle part. Or the macbook pro with i9 processor but they forgot to put better cooling solution. Or their a-series socs which are more powerful than other socs but they dont add proper cooling solution on it so it throttles after an hour of heavy use etc...

You could buy the cheapest yet still effective Qi Charger and Apple will still charge from that.

                                hmm, 15 Jan 2019So how do they make the charger with type-c now ? They can... morethey will implement some extra wire in that usb c cable or even change the arrangement of cables in order to diferenciate their usb c to all others and then take the profit anyway...

                                sure copy's will be made in the market but then, they will patent the new cable arrangement and who copy that need to pay patent rights...

                                oh well, crApple will still be crApple...i can guarantee you, they not lay arms down for this.

                                  They cant sell there own apple charger for $100 if market is full of $5-15 quick chargers and cables cost only $1-2 :D

                                    Finally, Apple switch their original creation to the most improved and standard version. Apple could've develop further with Lightning but no, they can't make their Lightning port be capable for USB 3.1 speeds, Thunderbolt and QuickCharge 3.0 & 4.0 compliant.

                                    Apple can invent a way to bend the OLED to make All-screen phones possible but they can't improve their own port.

                                      So apple failed to develop own batteries which supports quck charge and also failed to develop own quick chargers.
                                      Now they will use USB-C.
                                      Their phones are not made for a quckcharge and the battieries will inflate imminent due to overheat.
                                      Good job apple.
                                      Regards your very nice android fan. :-)
