This argument always cracks me up. I have been able to buy cheap lightning cables effectively since they started making lightning cables lol. It’s not like Apple somehow locks the phone from charging, physics is still a real thing and electricity can still flow through them, even without the MFi aspects.

If you wanna hate Apple for being a massively bloated and money-hungry corporate nightmare, that’s fine, I’m with it, but do we really all think they made it to $3 trillion valuation on… fucking cables??? 😂

How much you wanna bet their parents say the same type of “this generation” things to them?

YOU SAID YOU WOULD USE YOUR POWERS FOR GOOD!

I am absolutely terrible at remembering people’s names, even mere seconds after meeting them and introducing ourselves

But I most certainly remember their dog’s name and will refer to them as “dog-name’s human.”

Well, yeah, everyone else is, too. They’re not gonna let Siri become any more woefully outmatched than it already is, so it’s either adapt or die. Microsoft killed off Cortana recently in favor of their AI program.

This is just self-maintenance, basically.
