Ha. I like the vga part but the part that makes your usb - c connector look like an old fashioned proprietary apple lightening connector is just too much!
Am I missing something? That's Apple's proprietary connector, all right. But it's not "old-fashioned" in that it's still currently used for new devices (at least for iPads in the US).
Left: USB-C connector
Right: Apple Lightning connector
And USB-C has the wires on the inside (which then goes inside the port on the device). So, unless I'm mistaken, they weren't trying to look like anything other than the VGA part, because this connector wouldn't work for anything other than an Apple device...
look at the vga connector again. it has a little icon on it that looks like a usbc slot
You mean this? That's on every VGA cable...
That one is a rectangle inside a rectangle. The one in the OP looks like a capsule shape inside a rectangle, more like a usbc connector, so i assumed it was an intentional add by the the person who made the thing as another layer on top of the joke.
But yeah it could also be just someone trying to be clever while whining about usbc not being adopted by iphones sooner, and the icon is off because it’s designed to be made with 3d printer without a high enough level of precision
