    Ah yes, pushed hard for by … not even using it themselves.

    Get their dick out of your mouth before you speak. It’s unsightly.

      It was the only port in MacBooks since 2016, what is it if not pushing hard 😂

      Or you think that they should have changed port in 2016 in phones, upsetting all the people with already a lot of lightning cables and accessories since Lightning was ahead of competition when it came out. Yeah, that would have been a dumb idea. Glad they waited myself

        That argument literally does not make sense.

        Do you not think people would be upset for the MacBook only having usb-c ports? They could have had both, but since the lightning port is so bad decided it wasn’t worth it.

        And if they could completely remove it on the MacBook, why do you think they wouldn’t be able to do so on the Iphone?

        So what, you are glad you got sucked up onto their proprietary ecosystem even more, even though better alternative cables existed for years and years?

        I also surely hope all new cables are ahead of the competition when they come out …

          Nothing was proprietary bar the Lightning cable, which was better than the competition at the ime. Could they have added more ports in the MacBooks? Yeah, they fucked up. They made it right with the latest Pros. With the phone it made sense because there was already an ecosystem around lightning, it would have pissed people off as it will now a bit. Apple isn’t perfect but isn’t that uber closed walled garden either
