More like a profiteering move from Apple to not adapt a common standard

I'm 100% sure Apple soon will introduce a new feature, and you'll only be able to get benefit out of it if you use an Apple type-c cable

Just because it was the first at something, doesn't mean it was the best solution. Lightning still has far lower transfer speeds compared to USB-C and the non reversible microUSB connecter has been far replaced by the C type and still Apple won't adapt that standard. It seems they finally will be forced to do that because the laws are coming for them

Another thing is, i had the usb c i think, since 2016 with my old dead and burried Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra and i never ever had even one issue at all... I love it, fast and convincing 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Darknoor, 18 Jun 2022I said "firsts" I never specified anything revers... moreUSB-A is around because it's much more wide spread, more robust and even repairable. If it's loose, you just readjust the metal spring parts and it'll hold connectors more securely again. You can even jam those thin USB drives under the plastic within connector and it won't complain much other than not work.

SShock, 18 Jun 2022Which one? I don't remember a SINGLE reversible connec... moreI said "firsts" I never specified anything reversible.
And I never had an issue with a port that is not reversible. I mean, USB A has and still dominates and it won't fit the first time even if you position it right XD
Not a big deal nor a deal breaker.

Grey Wolf, 18 Jun 2022This will be a sad day for the end consumer. Because knowin... more1) They are already using Type C for the iPads
2) They already support the OPEN Qi wireless charging standard
3) Lightning was introduced when the sucky microUSB was the norm. And to be honest, I still don’t have any devices in regular use that use USB C. My old MacBook is still USB A, my iPhone is Lightning, my budget iPad is still Lightning, and my external drives are USB A. My headphones use the Lightning to headphone jack adapter. It will be annoying for some Apple users, namely those who don’t upgrade their tech to the latest every year. That is why Apple wanted to drawn out this transition for as long as possible (and of course, also because of the money they get from Lightning royalties). Also, Lightning is not an inferior Port, because it is easier to clean with a toothpick and more durable as it doesn’t have that flap. It‘s just proprietary that is the problem.

Darknoor, 18 Jun 2022If you want firsts the other companies have their ownWhich one? I don't remember a SINGLE reversible connector other than Lightning and USB-C. Nokia's barrel connectors don't exactly count because they had no data at all. But sure, they were "reversible".

It only good in outdoor when no rain/smog/smoke/snow/fog
It will be good in large indoor area like mall, convention center, airport, stadium.

Furthermore, the positive contact plates of USB-C connector is hidden and expose only the ground which is a better design in my opinion.
And USB-C is much more durable than micro, so at least we achieved some improvements to previous standard. Evolution done in good direction.

1) tons of people do not even have home internet, just mobile data access.
2) mmwave can not even match speeds of usb c 2.0, ley alone 3.2 gen 2
3) even in developed nation like USA, home internet of 20Mbps or slower is so common yet.
