Glenn FleishmanI, for one, welcome our new USB-C overlords
Epiphanic Synchronicity@glennf Yep. I’m glad the EU finally made them do the right thing, which Apple should have done on its own six years ago when the iPhone X was introduced
@EpiphanicSynchronicity I don’t think the EU made them do anything—they could have shipped an adapter starting next year and been in compliance…but I think it’s the right evolution. Six years ago was way too earlier for USB-C infrastructure and acceptance.
@glennf Why? There was already infrastructure and acceptance from years of USB-C use on flagship Android devices, and it had already taken over on MacBooks. There were rumors that the iPhone X would have it and a lot of people were disappointed when in didn’t happen.
I think you can make a case that the X would perhaps have been *a bit* early for Apple (which is sometimes a leader and sometimes a follower in adopting new technology), but not *way too* early.
