(Some) Apple customers seem to have forgotten their role in the relationship.

(Some) Apple customers seem to have forgotten their role in the relationship.

Remember: Apple tells you what you need, you buy it and use it to continue being locked in to a proprietary hardware & software eco-system.

The world heads to a new universal standard for connectors (USB-C) #Hooray!
Apple prefers you use their own proprietary ones (a mix of them) so that you are locked-in.

The world has a universal standard for headphones (mini-jack) but Apple wants its customers to ditch that (on phones) but still use it on computers?

Why do people put up with it?
Maybe this connector stuff is a step too far?
