I don't get this argument. How long does a manufacturer keep supporting an old port because users have older devices?
The current phone does not come with a usb-c cable because it is older than the MacBook Pros and the Laptops don't come with a lightning cable because not everyone that has the laptop has an iPhone. I'm sure the next iPhone will come with a usb-c cable and then people will complain that they can't charge it with their old laptops.
> What type of user experience is that?
It's one for people who pick up the new cable and get on with their lives.
People have issues with Apple's hardware decisions with their laptops, minis and Mac Pros that aren't addressed by a cable.
One paper cut issue is solved by buying a cable and they can t get by with their lives on the new or lack their of new hardware.
What type of user experience is that?
As a side note: there's nothing wrong with usb-c. I can see why it's an improvement! But the reason apple are pricks is they didn't also throw in a single usb-a port so we can keep using the dozen devices and 30 cables I already own.
