Mozilla is “extremely disappointed.”

    To be fair, USB-C didn’t exist when Lightning was introduced, and it was vastly superior to Micro-USB.

    It doesn’t really have any reason to exist now…

    Agreed with your other points though!

    I have an old iPad that I try to reuse for another purpose and all the locks to stop me to keep using it make it such a pain in the butt, when the alternative is simply to enable developer mode on an Android tablet.

    Thankfully I remembered when buying a laptop and skipped the very enticing M-series hardware, because in 5-7 years that thing is a brick destined for the landfill.

      Hmm, I wonder why that was?

      Lightning is a proprietary computer bus and power connector, created and designed by Apple Inc. It was introduced on September 12, 2012

      Design for the USB-C connector was initially developed in 2012 by Apple Inc. and Intel.

      So Apple helped develop USB-C but failed to integrate it into their products for a decade. Now, why would they do that?

            Obviously it would be updated? Why would it be obvious when Apple hasn’t updated it at all, it was introduced in the Iphone 5 where it had USB 2 speeds, the Iphone 14 also has lightning connection and has… USB 2 speeds.

            10 years and no update. Seems more like you liking Apple to mucb to think rather then us hating them too much.
