“Spirit” was the operative word.

Your data isn’t comprehensive: Intel MB Air used MagSafe until 2017, but not same MagSafe as currently offered.

And, I meant that, among iOS devices, iPads did not switch to USB-C at same time phones did.

From cgpt, through 2021:

iPhone and iPad models did not make the shift to USB-C at the same time. As of my last update in September 2021, iPads started transitioning to USB-C with the iPad Pro in 2018. Other iPad models like the iPad Air followed suit, adopting USB-C in 2020.

iPhones, on the other hand, have stuck with the proprietary Lightning connector for charging and data transfer. As of 2021, no iPhone models had transitioned to USB-C, although the topic has been a subject of speculation and rumors.

Trump’s concern was that his face makeup would stain edges of the mask.

One of my co-workers solely interacts with Reddit through RSS feeds, and has done that for years.

For all of my suckerdom, the one Apple thing I don’t buy is headphones. Between the pre-sale engineered obsolescence and the post-sale engineered obsolescence (looking at you, AirPods and your declining noise-canceling levels after software “updates” as a new model is about to launch), I managed to achieve escape velocity to other headphone brands. Love the Sony WF-1000XM series for noise-canceling earbuds.

I use 10 Apple hardware devices currently, and have owned well over 100 since my first Mac 128K in 1984. I’m a sucker for Apple shit.

I kind of have to agree with the spirit of previous poster’s point. Apple does do annoying shit with port formats.

Between the four MacBooks in front of me, only two share the same main power format—and, of course, one of those can’t get enough juice from the other’s PSU.

Have two different formats for my iPads, and my partner’s iPhone and mine don’t share a format. That’s not remarkable, but the timing of the various iOS port format changes was frustrating, as certain devices made the port jump at the same time that their brethren did not.

I would finally note the rather large bouquet of different Apple wall-warts we have collected, also in two different formats, and a variety of wattages.

Finally, a lot of Apple’s cables have tips that seem purpose-built to fall apart, meaning even more trash in landfills.

I had a biz partner who is a centimillionaire. He has an iPhone for data, and a flip-phone for calls.

Never again. Twice I’ve been at fast-growing startups that went with Oracle, and both times it was the worst mistake the business made.

Are you concerned that there is already an app called Lemma in the iOS App Store?
