But the resident expert told us they'd never do it. We must be seeing things. |

Maybe they realized soldering unobtainium SSD chips into $̶5̶̶k̶ $8K Macbook Pros and serializing every part inside an Iphone is more profitable than selling cables? |

Yep, the EU won... --- Quote ---iPhone 15: Apple forced to ditch lightning charger --- End quote --- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-66778528 Presumably it won't be worth their while creating a lightning connector version for other markets so it will probably kill it. [OT warning] In other news (I just spotted it while digging out yesterday's story) France has halted iPhone 12 sales today over excessive emissions, with a potential forced recall if they can't fix it (presumably within the limits of s/w). I guess the rest of the EU will probably follow suit. Sounds expensive for a 3 year old device... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-66795168 [/OT] |
