The point is when a new incompatible plug happens you have to replace your existing accessories, and accessory manufacturers have to choose which hardware is supported, or everyone has the dreaded adapters.

I'd rather have one adapter that fits between all my old and all my "new" devices than 99 competing standards with no adapters whatsoever.

HN commenters have spent years complaining about Apple's adoption of usb-c, except in the single case of it being forced on iDevices, where it is clearly the only thing that could possibly be considered.

Almost every "universal" device I go out to buy today requires a usb-c adapter, despite the apparent prevalence of usb-c Android devices?

Ipods do not have USB-C.
