Better than the several I've encountered who do the same but without the turn signal.

Those poor court stenographers

They were well aware of it, even contributed to the design

Challenge it where?

Texas State courts?

US Supreme Court?

Good luck

Fair, but most midrange phones have at least USB3 as well, no?

I don't actually know for certain, but I can't imagine why they wouldn't.

Apple literally contributed to the design of USB-C, it's not as if they had no idea it existed or it was some sort of reactionary design in response to Lightning

I once had the opportunity to just sleep as long as I needed ... as in no alarms or anything ... for an extended period of time (a few months).

Yeah yeah, we all lived through the pandemic too, you aren't special :-P

Businesses don't need the working class silly, they take on the burden of employing them out of the goodness of their hearts.

He may have eaten that billionaire, but it was for the good of the people so we're gonna let this one slide

If only they had the foresight to predict the needs of their customers a year or two in the future.

Or maybe they just went with Lightning because they could take a cut of every product using their proprietary connector.

If it’s all about pumping up Lightning, why did the iPad leave it?

Because Lightning is too slow and low-power for the functionality they felt necessary for the iPad.

You can't do real video output over USB2.0, charging current is limited, and you can't effectively use it for data and charging at the same time outside of limited configurations.

Your mistake is overlooking the fact that Lightning is woefully outdated.

iPhones have been able to get away with it this long by doing most everything wirelessly and convincing users like you that it's somehow better to have a slower, less powerful connector on their phone.

They couldn't get away with the same limitations on a tablet.
