    The new cable, that is included in the box, is C to C, both male, so there is literally no issue. Apple is just butthurt that they had to ditch lightning.

    And probably they want to redirect the anger of iPhone buyers from them to the EU.

      And 9to5 mac is butthurt too? Like… I still have two iPod classic cables and they are not going to the landfill. They will replace the one I use when it breaks. Same will happen for these, you will give them along to whoever still has a lighting jack until they break.

        The lightning phones could only use 2.0 speeds. There is no change to the hardware except for the form factor of the connector.

          And that is the problem. If Apple was truly selling top end hardware they should have used a USB-3 or even a Thunderbolt 4 port and possibly a truly fast charging experience, but again, they don’t want their customers to use their usb-c ports for anything but charging because that would lower the value of iCloud and they like that subscription money now.

            Fast charging and data transfer are two different things. The iPhone must comply with USB PD at least 100W.
