All this shows is that Google (or ABC) is ridiculously overpriced.

Are you kidding me???
Only because Apple annoys the F'n S#!* out of you every time you turn your device on with their relentless pop-up windows until you just capitulate out of sheer anger and frustration. 

Honestly, its forced complience and a big steaming pile of bullshit. It's one of the worst policies of Apple and Tim should be tarred and feathered for this crap. Steve Jobs would never in his life allowed this kind of crap that ruins the user experience.

This article isn't anything to be proud of - its just stating how many people Apple made completely misserable before they caved.

This is not a new connector, and it is apparently nothing Apple themselves intend to use. They've merely certified it to be used for "Made for iOS" Lightning adapters and accessories. It's in use by various manufacturers as yet another standard USB connector. https://arstechnica.com/apple/2017/02/no-apple-isnt-developing-an-all-new-port-for-accessory-makers/

Don't understand why these writers don't check for facts either.

"...independently confirmed by AppleInsider..."


Oh wait, they did! Allegedly... 😂

Why do you think we didn't break the story? We were more interested in completeness and checking on it, because the sensationalized bits smelled bad.
