    This shit should be illegal. Apple got smacked by the EU for this exact practice. Do we think that will applied evenly?

      Apple was arguably different. They pushed the lightning port bu you still had third party accessories using that or even cables.

        lol, then they’d have no time for anything else. usb-c is so complicated that basically nobody is compliant.

          Time for USB-D.

          My suggestion is a ridiculous round plug where the bottom three/four contacts are a standard 3.5mm audio connector and then you have like twelve extra (narrower) contacts at the top.

          A TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS jack.
