Ha. I like the vga part but the part that makes your usb - c connector look like an old fashioned proprietary apple lightening connector is just too much!
Yeah I’m not entirely sure, but it WOULD be possible to print a sticker like that
Am I missing something? That’s Apple’s proprietary connector, all right. But it’s not “old-fashioned” in that it’s still currently used for new devices (at least for iPads in the US).
Left: USB-C connector
Right: Apple Lightning connector
And USB-C has the wires on the inside (which then goes inside the port on the device). So, unless I’m mistaken, they weren’t trying to look like anything other than the VGA part, because this connector wouldn’t work for anything other than an Apple device…
I believe the joke is calling Apple old fashioned for still sticking to a proprietary cable and/or calling proprietary cables old-fashioned in general. But also, Apple will be switching the iPhone cables to USB-C next gen iirc, so maybe it’s also old fashioned that way?
Apple has already switched their whole lineup to USB-C as far as I can tell, currently replying to this from my USB-C iPhone 15. Even my AirPods are USB-C.
Huh? Both my M1 air and iPad Pro only use USB-C. Do some of the iPads still use Apple’s lightning? These are the only two apple products I own, so I have never had any other connector. Except for a couple random items (stupid mouse), everything I own can use the same charger. Packing and traveling is so much easier.
There’s a lot of iPad Gen 1-9s out there. Not to mention iPods and older iPhones…
look at the vga connector again. it has a little icon on it that looks like a usbc slot
It’s progress! I believe that’s the only regular iPad that has ever come with USB-C. Thank the EU, which required it! Gens 1-9 had the proprietary Lightning connector…
