The fine seems a little crazy to me but maybe that is how you motivate a large company.

It is silly that you can buy a device and not be given a way to charge it in the box. And Apple seemingly randomly changes charging ports regularly. In a normal world customer outcry would have forced this issue.

But it is Apple and they care not a whit for their customers.

I have noticed that those who complain about apple the loudest haven't ever owned or even used anything made by apple.

In fact, for longer than USB-C.

Right. There have been exactly two ports in the history of iPhone.
