Dawn of a new fucking era

I hope this happens, lightning should've died way sooner, good fucking riddance

Press X to say good fucking riddance

I remember the days when every fucking phone was a special snowflake and had a different charger and let me tell you I don't miss that shit

>yfw this rumor meant that apple replaces the usb-a connector with a usb c connector on their cables

but magsafe was smart just implemented horribly

>>59292447
Magsafe was a good idea that they fucked up the implementation of.
Lightning was a good idea that was just USB in a different form that ended up breaking more often than microUSB.

Maybe one day everyone will adopt the universal wireless charging standard and then they can put wireless chargers on everything

Lightning is great for building clusters, I've heard from a friend that some relative had run a game with shared ressources from two MacBook

>>59292723
>iPhone clusters
Wat?
But yeah, most versatile connector by far. Sad to see it go, glad to see, after two decades, all phones using the same plug.
>Welcome to the age of M.2++, same connector, different features. On every. fucking. phone.

>>59292709
But then you'd have to find a discrete way to plug in your couch.

>>59292776
Run the wire out the back of the couch and plug it in

>>59292775
Lightning is not dead, it simply won't be used on iPhone anymore. It will stay on Macs.

Anon, you realise macs have never used lighting, right? They use USB-C.

I also don't miss the days when phones didn't have 3.5 jacks but oh well I guess

Yeah I had to buy a special adapter to plug a 3.5 jack into my LG chocolate

Boy, it sure was stupid to not put a 3.5mm jack on phones amiright?

>>59292776
>But then you'd have to find a discrete way to plug in a large piece of furniture that will usually conceal at least one set of sockets
It's like you haven't been paying attention to how sockets are laid out in rooms nowadays. If you compare them historically, you can see that this has been following trends closely over the course of the past fifty or so years. Even if your building is old, it has always been common to have a small light source like a table lamp or floor lamp beside the sofa and the layout shows this.

So useful, so brave. Have Apple gotten the Bluetooth headphones to work properly yet?

Now there's a fun thought. Anyone who put money into making a lightning headset will be fucked. That probably won't foster good will.

Apple has never had any problem fucking over it's partners, and any company who made strictly apple only headphones was run by dipshits.

No doubt apple will put some sort of twist on it so you can only use your iphone with apple made usb c plugs.

D-D-DONGCEPTIONNNN

the real reason >>59293491

they're not changing lightning they're probably changing the other end and then mac users can insert into the new laptops without an adapter

or its USB C adapter for the EU

And they aren't using microUSB so I guess that failed.

The AirPods are fine. I use them daily.

>>59293265

Basically nobody made Lightning headphones.

Apple lets you use any valid USB-C cable to charge the Macbook. Companies like HP, on the other hand, require proprietary power adapters to charge their USB-C laptops, despite using a standard connector.

Is Apple changing cables again? Why can't we have wireless charging? At least give me a cable that does come apart. I loathe this company. I swear I will never buy another Apple product.

>>59292447
USB-C is cancer. MagSafe and Lightning were so far superior to it.

Magsafe was literally shit made for literal retards.

>>59298796
get a load of this fag
This is the only connector that lets you connect anything you want.
Shitty phone charger, bigass macbook charger, a PCIe adapter if it has Thunderbolt underneath
Your shitty magnetic "I'm so inept that I trip over cables all of the time" cable and your shitty "my special snowflake" cable can't even compare.

>>59298844
USB-C is just as weak as Micro B. It needs to fuck off, not be shoehorned into every product.

>usb cables that can fry your device

>shitty magnetic
you're cute but magsafe is admitted by pretty much everybody to be brilliant and useful

>Lightning or micro-USB

I don't like proprietary, but the Lightning connector is 100x better than micro-USB. I've never broken a Lightning connector, not I've gone through a half dozen micro-USB plugs because something always deforms and the connection is no longer solid. I'd rather pay the premium for a well made connector than have to buy several inferior ones.
