Oh, also, Micro-B had been the primary connector for less than 10 years when the C connector was announced. (microUSB was announced in 2007, while C was 2014.) Before that, it was Mini-B (which was used on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable) which was announced in 2000. USB itself happened in 1996.
Oh gods, how long until the USB-D connector happens? I hope not for a long time. And also that when it happens, it’s fiber-optic data lines instead of copper. (Power should still be copper.)
The Galaxy S8 from 2017 was the first mainline Samsung phone to use USB-C, the HTC 10 got it in 2016, and the OnePlus 2 had it in 2015. So it’s a bit more than 5 years, and I’m not all that interested in perfect accuracy at the moment anyway.
Apple finally putting USB-C on their phones (almost a decade after everyone else, and years after they already did with the iPad) is a good thing. No more needing Apple certification for a basic cable, just the same cable everyone else is using at the same price (as long as you don’t buy from Apple themselves).
The iPhone 15 finally caught up to the rest of the world (including the iPad and MacBooks) and is now using USB-C. Despite Pastis’ whining here, this is a good thing because it’s no longer Apple-only cables.
If you think Trump himself is the only problem with the Republican Party, you’re as nuts as old_geek and billfl. (Though your current manner says you’re certainly not as much of a jerk as them. Or I guess me.) Almost every Republican politician, especially at the national level, supports the vast majority of the things that Trump does. It’s not just that Trump is a treasonous criminal jerk, it’s also that his positions (that the entire Republican Party support) are beyond evil.
