I mean, yeah, but there’s no need for OP to lie about Apple swapping ports every generation.
I use 10 Apple hardware devices currently, and have owned well over 100 since my first Mac 128K in 1984. I’m a sucker for Apple shit.
I kind of have to agree with the spirit of previous poster’s point. Apple does do annoying shit with port formats.
Between the four MacBooks in front of me, only two share the same main power format—and, of course, one of those can’t get enough juice from the other’s PSU.
Have two different formats for my iPads, and my partner’s iPhone and mine don’t share a format. That’s not remarkable, but the timing of the various iOS port format changes was frustrating, as certain devices made the port jump at the same time that their brethren did not.
I would finally note the rather large bouquet of different Apple wall-warts we have collected, also in two different formats, and a variety of wattages.
Finally, a lot of Apple’s cables have tips that seem purpose-built to fall apart, meaning even more trash in landfills.
Apple swapped MacBooks to USB C in 2015
2018 was first USB C iPad.
Unless your partner is using an iPhone 4s, they have a lightning port. Not sure why you’re saying they’re different.
Again. Not every generation.
