    Yeah this is straight up illegal. The FTC and EU don’t give a shit if this was “just a test” or “a whoopsie doopsie.”

    Big ol’ fine incoming for every day this isn’t fixed.

      those organizations don’t work for people. they work for corporations. if this story is true, it sets a precedent that all other tech companies will probably follow

        Are you even following the news? The EU is handing out fines like there’s no tomorrow.

              Ok, but that was probably going to happen anyway? Apple learned after people pitched an absolute shit fit when they changed at once from the 30-pin connector to lightning to never do that again. So they’ve been switching over the products one line at a time to USB-C. First MacBooks, then iPads one update at a time until now all the new ones are USB-C. My guess is iPhones were always gonna be next.
