Then if that is the case, there is no reason for this regulation.
Expound, please.
Take the Lightning cable, it can be made by third party manufacturers. What is the point of the regulation if the connector can be made by anyone.
They won't stop at this, then they will have laptops go to the same connector. Whereas Apple has magnetic connector, and that to my knowledge cannot be made by third party vendors.
Laptops already have all the same connectors.
Magnetic connectors are also not proprietary. If you can find them on eBay, anybody can make them.
The slippery slope argument is not a real argument.
This entire argument is over a niche connector. I don't think the regulation is necessary, but once the question is posed, there is no real argument against it. This is a losing battle for all of you attempting to. I don't have a dog in this fight, I'm just following logic and so far my minimal effort is winning the argument. The only thing that will stop this from happening is large sums of money being distributed to the proper pockets, otherwise known as business as usual.
