Well they are going to force people to bin all their lightning cables for this new one.

Even within the apple ecosystem those things are annoying and a waste of space. I can charge my laptop you can charge an iPad from USBC but phones and AirPods need lightning when the port is basically the same size. So I have to carry an extra cable everywhere.

Ridiculous. I’ll take throwing them all in a landfill if I never have to use or see one again.

Thank the gods. I have exactly three of these things and keeping track of them is a pita, and expensive to replace. USB-C cables ... I have an entire bin of them.
