Reply to comment by CyberJokerWTF in Apple could bring USB-C to AirPods and Mac accessories by 2024 by athin_explorer

Apple doesn't care about "next year", they're all about the "now" and the assumption you will buy again in 12 months or less

I mean at this point isn't a forgone conclusion that Apple fans will definitely buy Airpods Pro 3 next year and praise Apple for switching to USB-C. lol

They'll update the case for the Pro 2 before they release the Pro 3. They already did this for the Pro 1.

In fact Apple invented USB C.

The fact that it has been on Android phones by years is irrelevant, they only copied Apple.

>Apple invented USB C

It takes few seconds to verify that as false statement. Apple was one of the companies that contributed to standard, they worked on USB-C connector, you may say that they were major contributor to USB-C, but they did not "invented USB-C".

You forgot this: /s

(I know Apple is part of the USB-IF which invented USB-C, but saying Apple invented it is disingenuous)

It's the typical Apple marketing scheme. It ensures there is a clear, visible distinction between old and new Apple products. That helps the cult members shame others about having old tech, which increases Apple sales.
