Apple confirms the iPhone is getting USB-C, but isn’t happy about the reason why

The Verge[^]:

Greg Joswiak said “obviously we’ll have to comply” with the EU’s new USB-C rules while criticizing them for e-waste implications and inconveniencing customers

They would rather have everyone else switch to *their* connector

Because Apple never "inconveniences customers" :eyeroll:

I have to wonder how much money Apple has made from charging cables and such by changing their interface with every new version of the iPhone.

Apple's Lightning cable has been compatible with all iPhones and iPads for a decade or so
