What a mess. Hope this doesn’t happen outside of SK.

This might be reason enough to buy an iPhoney. Anyone know if Samsung iPhoneys also abide by this nonsense?

I wonder if apple will have an alert show for users warning them about things like family sharing, subscription management and refunds not being available through apple before they make any purchases outside of the App Store 

Besides it being annoying and complicating the system, people will STILL contact Apple and demand a refund and customer service. Apple deserves the 26% on that alone. When someone gets scammed they’re gonna run to Apple for help whether they believe it’s Apple’s fault or not. I wonder if Apple could sue these companies if a scam goes through and affects Apple and their customers.

Amazing invention. The software developers didn’t know what the hardware looked like until the revelation. Crazy it all worked out. No wonder everyone was drinking and panicking backstage.

Glad one model is dated at 2006 because a lot of iKnockoff morons claim it took about 8 months to develop the iPhone. This “2006” date can at least serve as a reference point that there was a functioning model sometime the year before. I know they’ll claim it was probably from December but still I like throwing wrenches into their cogwheels. 

Wow.  Time flies.

I hope their next show will be bigger. 

Slowly cook the frog. Then you can demand they use Brazilian made displays and then demand back doors into iOS. Then EU can demand Apple use some crappy EU standard wireless tech.

So making billions of phones cables obsolete over night reduces waste. This is a plot to make someone money. It otherwise makes no sense. will they decide the next cable standard? Remember much of what’s in usb-c is from Apple’s work with Intel on Thunderbolt. Are they planning to force companies to stop forcing chrome on users and use standards instead of Google technology on their websites? Are they going to force video format compatibility so YouTube isn’t required to send quality videos on Android?

In my case yes - if the iphone was USB C I could use the same cables for both the iPad Pro and the phone.

But what happens in 2 or 5 years when USB C is technically obsolete, but they are mandatory? Governmental bodies are going to christen the next standard for everyone?! Both here and in the EU, the whole idea is complete and utter BS!

The EU impact assessment specifically tackled that issue. 

One of the goals was not to stifle innovation.

In fact it has been mentioned in various announcements by the EU and the proposals were accommodating to new standards from the outset but in a harmonised manner. 

Demanding the inventor of the iPhone use specific tech is stifling innovation. And the poster is right, if Apple were to invent a wireless standard what’s stopping these non-techies to force Apple to use something else because the iPhoneys aren’t compatible?

I don’t understand how some people don’t see the problem with governments controlling technology. The same governments that don’t understand technology.
