    that’s a possibility, but i feel like that’s a really shitty excuse especially for newly manufactured phones, apple only just recently stopped shipping charging blocks with their phones, i believe they still ship cables though.

    It’s like committing to funding 300 billion dollars of coal power plants, only to have natural gas become a big deal in 5 years and then pivoting to natural gas, i feel like it’s just, normal.

      There’s more to it than just the cables, there’s all of the companies that integrate with their phones. There are a ton of accessories for iPhone, and they probably have contractual obligations to maintain compatibility for some amount of time.
