More like standard capitalism.
The usb c connectors are not slower then the lightning connectors so its not like they made it worse. They simply refused to make it better.
A bit like Nvidia continuing to maken better gpu chips but refusing to have them release with a more VRAM.
If course in a way, all for profit-companies are malicious. Extracting surplus value from workers and such.
So - in your opinion - any company shipping a USB 2 device is 'malicious'?
Apple was forced by the EU to stop using their old and worse connector
So they're complying, but they're purposefully limiting the less expensive phone as a malicious compliance to that
Pretty simple really
So lightning cables offer transfer rates of 480Mb/s - USB 2.0 offers 625Mb/s. You are cross that they swapped out Lightning for USB on the main models and use USB 3 as a differentiator in the Pro models. Fair enough, but that's not 'malicious'. It's not even malicious compliance.
USB 2.0 is also 480Mbps.
Lightning connectors are definitely worse than USB-C, but when they were introduced the alternative was micro USB which is objectively worse than Lightning cables.
Of course, with wireless charging I haven't used an actual cable in five years so it doesn't matter that much to me.
You obviously don't get the point. Educate yourself on Apple and USB-C, please.
You mean the Apple that provided more than 20% of the engineering force that developed USBC?
Or the Apple that released the first USBC laptop to market?
That Apple?
Or the apple that fought against USB-C for their phones since basically forever and now implemented it with USB 2? Yes, this one.
It doesn't sound like you actually have a rebuttal.
Apple's base model hardware usually uses last year's pro chipsets. They've been doing this for a bit now.
If the trend continues, next year the base model will get all the newer CPUs, micro controllers, etc.
Here's the rational answer, folks. Anything else is your emotional response.
If the aim of a company is to maximize profits then every company in Apple's stead would do the same thing. Not defending it but that's the world we created.
This is why companies like Apple are malicious.
Or because the base iPhone 15 uses last yearβs Pro chip which didnβt have a USB3 controller.
A Raspberry Pi from years ago has USB 3.1. Restricting the latest iPhone is just laughable.
