It was a piece of shit, always. Doesn't matter if it was technically better, it was not standardized so fuck lightning cables forever. Good riddance to seriously awful bullshit rubbish
As someone who has had 2 small fires started in their cup holder with that so called "technically better" cable I will never understand how apple was ever able to market an exposed contact charging cable in the first place.
Wow, hadn't heard about that but it makes sense. Yeah this thread is way weird. So many people simping for a cable.
Do you approach your life with such black and white emotional reactions? Fuck nuance, details, and critical evaluations, amirite? Bad guy good guy hurrdurr.
I'm not going to argue why standards are good, that's self evident. Sorry you're blind to this.
How's this for nuance? Apple made billions of dollars by just choosing to be dicks. That's the honest truth here. Simp all you want.
Standards can be good, it's not black and white, and dismissing the technical merit outright is batshit insane. You lack critical thinking. It has nothing to do with any other meaningless term you want to throw around.
Right the person looking to advance society with standards can't think critically but the person who sucks off apple against logic is a brain master.
Your lack of assessment is even more evident. I never one mentioned the company. You did.
Lol yeah that's how it works
