(Ultra low volume) Apple is forced to adopt USB-C in all iPhones by 2024 - video blog

If I did a sound check before uploading this one, it wouldn't have been so drowned out by the ambient noise.

That aside, I can imagine the amount of e-waste (electronic waste) this is going to produce if people don't think about just getting a USB-C adapter for their existing lightning cables. Those cost between $1 and $15 (depending where you get them from, eBay is lowest, local store is highest).

Then again, most aren't going to be rushing out to buy the latest apple devices. Long-term support allows the use of their device for several years.

As for my use-case scenario, I'm on the fence about an apple device, or just sticking with android. Already have a few devices sitting around waiting to take this one's place, so no need to go for the latest-greatest.
