> It's further ironic when it's made by Apple, the company that changes connectors every 2 years.

That's definitely not accurate, the 30-pin connector was introduced in 2003 and wasn't replaced until 2012.

You forgot thunderbolt, mini-display port, hdmi, micro-dvi, dvi, adc (their own spin on dvi), the two different flavors of magsafe, multiple flavors of firewire, usb-a, and now usb-c.

They did skip DisplayPort though.

Apple's not a company that thinks about the past much.

Those are for different devices though. The iPhone is only on its second connector, just like Android.
