“Your honor, the apple vision pro was specifically designed to be used inside a small sailing ship.”

Unfortunately "USB-C" means nothing. It just describes what type of connector to use.

I mean its gpod enough,no? Tp be able to force apple to not use proprietary charging. And i assume data will also be a thing on their products, whether or not it uses the full speed capabilities of usb c dpesnt seem to matter.

Last I read was that apple was going to throttle their usb-c ports being used with non-apple blessed cables. And those cables are supposed to be pretty spendy, as they're going to be "apple taxed", I mean certified as apple is calling it. I hope the EU puts the smack down on them for trying to create such a loophole in interoperability requirements.

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. It’s pretty much the definition of unfair competition, I mean Apple makes cables and artificially hampers competitors cables unless they pay some money?

Maybe the fines are too low so far if they test us like that.

"USB-C" really only means "that flat oval shaped connector" and absolutely nothing more. The plug and cable and connected devices define what USB standard is used. You can deliver anything from "charging only USB 2.0 low power" to USB 4 with 240 W charging and 80Gbps data transfer including 8K@60 DisplayPort tunneling via USB-C.

You just said it means nothing, then explained what it means. Why is it unfortunate that apple will need to put UBC C on the single device that still doesn't have it FROM THEIR OWN LINEUP.
