The irony is that I have a bunch of lightning cables because I’ve been using an iPhone with AirPods for years. So when I finally upgrade, a bunch of my old cables will end up as e-waste.
Shhhhh, don’t talk logic. You can only throw perfectly working stuff in the dump. Giving it ? What’s next ? Become a communist scum ? Hell, No ! Selling it ? That would make apple poor shareholders sad…
I could. But the irony still stands that by Apple being forced to change connectors I’m going to have to go out and buy new cables. Honestly, though, I agree with the EU, this is a change that Apple should have done sooner. They were one of the first computer companies to completely dump the old USB connector in their laptops for the space saving. I wish they would have moved to USB-C across the board at that point.
From what I’ve heard, they were holding out to try to move from Lightning connectors to completely wireless charging with no ports.

or you could give them to someone who still uses an iPhone with a lightning connector. You could even sell them.

Apple also switched connectors. So apple is also evil and makes ewaste. Stupid arguments stab you in the foot.
Hey, just like 30 pin cables.
Well you buy apple products so you already had a bunch of e-waste
Is that any different from any other company that sells electronics, except perhaps Fairphone?
No it’s not any different.
