As Apple should had Micro USB long time ago since 2012 and Iphone 5 they should have long time ago USB-C their only problem is they refuse to cooperate with what people wants but they always do what profits more.
Since Apple is greedy company fueled by even more greed its very unlikely to see them they going for USB-C.
But its gonna finaly happens.
I was really thinking they will make 2 separate models USB-C version for European market and Lightning version for the rest of the world.
Since this will confuse even more i am pretty suprised company like Apple agreed because they always skip things which doesnt makes any profit like adding chargers or earphones into the box. They ditched even Simtray for US market and soon they will start their own network for texts and calls.
People forget to live like 50-100 years ago forget to think like 50-100 years ago and soon they will forget to have controll over their life living in a permanent dreams like in Naruto movie after being catched by divine tree and put into a world of own imagination far away from any and every reality.

      "pushed to buy new cables and discard the old ones" - why are they using USB-C on iPad then... It's exactly the other way around. All my devices are USB-C but I had to buy their patented cable to be able to charge my iPhone and AirPods.

          Hopefully Apple uses the introduction of USB-C on IPhones for creating the ability to show contents out of the file app, Office apps and other stuff on 16:9 external monitors without black bars at the bottom/top on the connected monitor. Maybe USB-C can be a door-opener for having a kind of desktop mode available. Having a physical interface with a much better transmission performance might open new options on the "productivity" side on IPhones, where those devices show dramatic gaps (especially in the light of ridiculously high prices).

              They'll finally adopt USB-C but likely with some extra tweaks, so to keep profiting from weak fragile cables

                  Remember the time when apple kept shipping iphones with garbage 5watts charger instead of 10watts when their phones can actually charge faster with the 10watts chargers.

                    Apple is always late. Innovation is almost zero.

                      they will somehow find a way to make other cables none usable with theirs.

                        ..they could do this long time ago..
                        If am smartphone manufacturer I would do as each country asks ..
                        So if Brazil wants chargers I would let them have it ans no fighting like little boys in sand pit...🤷‍♂️ If EU wants it have it .. If usa government doesn't require not needed .. Simple but Apple must be stubborn 🤷‍♂️

                          As a consumer with 8 Apple products, I can tell you that the Lightning cable we have been forced to use is garbage. Literally, I don’t know why we were forced to use this limiting technology other than for capitalist greed?

                            Apple if u are unhappy just upgrade lightning to lightning 2 🤷‍♂️ simple and make it usb 4 speed equivalent

                                I would not be surprised, if they change the connector to USB-C, and clock it down to USB 2.0, in order to be "consistent" with their standards ;-)
                                Otherwise they could have clocked up the current lightning port, if they really had wanted to...

                                  potato4k, 26 Oct 2022When lightning was established, USB-C didn't exist yet... moreWhat I mean is that Apple could have worked with the USB Implementers Forum (they are already a member) and developed an open to all Lightning standard. If that had happened USB-C today would have effectively been Lightning. But Apple wanted it all to themselves.

                                    Better late than never. Thank You European Union

                                        Also the ewaste part is ironic from Apple to mention, because THEY create ewaste by having the iphone use lightning, but my mac, macbook and iPad use USB-C.

                                        Not to mention my other non apple devices that use simple USB-C.
