Wasn't the entire purpose of Universal Serial Bus to be easy.  What seriously happened.  And agree - USB-A ain't going anywhere - and it's fast.  I don't no why they wouldn't just hop to HDMI and end this.  HDMI is universal and you can't get faster.  Name me a cable.

It’s up to 4 times SLOWER than USB-C…

USB-A is only fast compared to USB-2 speeds.

HDMI is crippled with DRM, DisplayPort is superior.

While it’s good that Apple is moving away from Communist China which continues its policy of genocide towards the Uighurs, India isn’t a good long-term choice. Labour will certainly be cheap there, but most of India lies between the tropics. In the longer-term human habitation there is likely to become extremely difficult and possibly even impossible, due to climate change.

I wish Apple would sort-out its sizing schizophrenia…
• MacBooks are referenced by Imperial measurements,
• Watches are referenced by Metric measurements.

Seriously, how many people bother-with, or even understand both, when measuring lengths?

So now that Twitter is finally being taken seriously, NOW Apple wants out? These advertisers should be ashamed. Nothing but a political shove. 

They can't take about trust and safety while trying to boycott Twitter to ensure it gets hurt. As if their tactic isn't blatantly ovious.

Only an idiot would ever take Twatter seriously.
It’s always had a low user-base and failed to grow like other social media networks. But because of its design, is ideal for unhinged rants, which is why it gets a disproportionate amount of media coverage.

These companies don’t want to ‘hurt’ Twitter. They don’t give a monkey’s about Twitter, they are simply concerned about their brand value. All companies number 1 concern is to keep their shareholders happy, otherwise the leadership can be ousted by the shareholders.
Being associated with neo-fascists of either the extreme right wing or extreme left wing of politics is bad for business as most people are somewhere in the centre. 

Bit of an optimistic launch given most of the Western world is in drought with many countries banning the use hosepipes and sprinkler systems… and it’s only going to get worse long-term.
