Apple: EU can't make us use your stinking common charging standard

Re: Waste...

I agree the lightning plug and port seem to be a LOT more durable than micro USB. I have had no failures at the strain relief (I go OTT with it, even factory cables will get the ole heatshrink treatment). But micro USB will quit working if you look at it sideways. So no, apple don't do everything wrong. I am just, by nature, a hardware hacky type person, and their use of a chip where one isn't necessary, and use of proprietary connectors, rankles.
