>Unchecked capitalism is horrifying. If they had it their way we'd be stuck in 2002 when all phones had different proprietary chargers.

But they've had their way all this time already and we're not in that situation.

Can’t wait 10 years when our phones require twice the amount of power and we’re stuck with USB-C because of government regulations. This seems like a government overreach.

Trying to find ways that you will never take them off muhahahaha

Airpods! The cause of, and solution to, moderate hearing loss!

[removed]

bruh i just want a black pair that i can wear in the shower

And also why they’re designed to be crap and break

So give people hearing loss, then give them hearing aids, great business move

If only we were this smart in the US.

That is great then, thanks for info.

Usb-c is symmetrical along one axis, not two, so technically a barrel plug is what this person is looking for I guess?

Authoritarian nonsense

In 10 years everyone will be cursing them

My wife does the same. She got tired of guys saying shit like "you'd be prettier if you smiled honey" randomly on the street, wearing headphones in an obvious way apparently cuts this down even if they're off.

I wouldn’t know. I’ve used iPhones for years. They’re great for the most part but the whole lightning charging cable system is an absolute shit show. Can’t wait for usb c

Wait your shaft has hair?

Hmmm interesting. Ive seen that happening with Samsung phones too so it’s probably not an apple only problem

My dad got a hearing aid last year that’s an actual hearing aid and also connects to his phone automatically. Music, phone calls, audiobooks, YouTube, all run straight through his hearing aid.

This is just an advertisement for Apple. Modern hearing aids are much more advanced than airpods

People in government are stupid. Say goodbye to innovation in technology due to more regulation. What about USB-X?

You can import an audio gram for the AirPods Pro

Yeah, I know it’s not exactly the same, I thought it was similar enough though, something fitting in a USB C port but not working just because it fits.

Once they try it for a year and find thier usbc cable only broke once vs 4 times for a lightning cable, not to mention your lightning cable contacts corroding and having to wiggle and wobble the dam thing to get it to change

Regular AirPods don’t have transparency or noise cancellation.

Parts may only be a couple cents per device, but now you need different packaging, different instructions printed, you need to track and ship different products to proper places there's alot of little things that add up.

You forgot D, which is just C but you accept bribes to allow A.
