Amusing. What do you want me to cite (not site) here? The three common types which indicate no single accepted standard? You know what they are. The different charging protocols? Do your own research there.
OK, so it's a puzzle. There are exactly three different connectors. I have listed two of them repeatedly: USB micro-B and USB C. You're saying there's a third and you want me to determine what it is. I can guess either mini-B or that Apple shit. If you mean mini-B, then I will argue that it is an accepted standard that is dying a natural death as it should and as most standards do eventually without governmental intervention. You might say it's not an accepted standard, I say it is. Whatever. There can be more than one standard so long as everyone knows the difference.
If you're talking about the jack on iPhones, then I agree that it's not an accepted standard, at least not accepted by me, but I still say it's between Apple customers and Apple. In fact, if the real problem here is with Apple using a proprietary connector, then I wish everyone that feels that way would just say so. Open the window wide, stick your head out, and shout "I don't want that connector on my Apple phone and I'm not going to take it anymore!" One can say the name out loud in public without fear. Don't complain to your parents or the government in hopes that they'll make things better. Go stand up to the bully and tell them what you want. I don't really think this is all about Apple, but then I don't really know.
In any case, do we agree that the only
proprietary connector out there is on Apple phones?
