It won’t be long before they come up with a video saying they’re doing this for the planet and definitely not being forced to lol

I can already imagine scrolling through the product page: “Game changer”, “Closing the gap”, “Unifying the charging experience across all your devices”, and so on.

Best case scenario is that Apple feels like they need to own the forced change and instead of just USB-C, they actually upgrade to some form of Thunderbolt 4 (which also happens to be shaped the same / is compatible with USB-C) and pretend they did it for innovation’s sake.

This would still allow Apple to sell their expensive cables and flip a long-overdue forced adaptation to an actual improvement since Thunderbolt 4 is so goddamn fast.

Just like how Apple's cases are almost fully made out of recycled aluminum: Sounds so green but doing the opposite would be stupid given that recycling aluminum is much cheaper than sourcing "new" stuff.

Make sure you have backwards compatibility to Micro USB as well, wouldn't want my ~13 year old MP3 player with 1GB of space to feel left out now do we?
