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…

I believe the joke is calling Apple old fashioned for still sticking to a proprietary cable and/or calling proprietary cables old-fashioned in general. But also, Apple will be switching the iPhone cables to USB-C next gen iirc, so maybe it’s also old fashioned that way?
