EU law says they have to convert the whole line of iPads and iPhones to USB-C for all models released after 2022. So when they passed that law Lightening died.

I live in a world of “open standard” yet still proprietary cabling. Because the best part about open standards is everybody has their own.

Still lots of budget USB 2.0 micro and USB 3.0 micro-B devices out there that are effected by this too. Not to mention USB 2.0 B or USB 3.0 micro B…. Stupid USB people haven’t done anybody any favours.

Yeah the folks up at the USB standards offices got drunk with the guys at Intel one night and decided to bet each other who could put out more “standards” than the other in a year. Not sure who won but I certainly know who lost….
