      especially shitty lagdroids

      Thanks for transporting me back to 2013 for a second. I didn’t realize anyone was still doing the iPhone vs Android flamewar nonsense lmao

      they promised to support lightning for 15 years

      Citation needed - couldn’t find a single source corroborating that

      And honestly who gives a fuck about iPhone vs Android in 2023? It’s just a phone…

        In September 2012, Apple announced the Lightning connector with the promise of being a “modern connector for the next decade.”

        Link to 9-5 Mac

        They specified 10 years (and I believe they said this because of the huge backlash of switching from the 30 pin connector) but I don’t know if they were truly saying it was going to last 10 years. Either way I’m glad they’re switching and I’ll probably turn in my 12 Pro for USB-C even though this phone is fine as is. Just hate carrying extra cables when I go on vacation and such.

        Also don’t get the iPhone vs Android “war”. When I tell people I’ve gone from Android to Apple to Android and settled on Apple people think I’m crazy.

          Lmao that definitely sounds like a completely binding agreement and definitely not equivalent to one that companies routinely walk back

          “Don’t be evil” “Netflix: love is sharing your password” etc.

            Exactly, but I do wonder if the huge backlash from before was maybe a thought in the back of their mind. But I would bet it’s mostly getting licensing fees from MFi.
