It's dumb for the government to regulate this. If people buy Apple products then have fun with their proprietary bullshit, no sweat off my back. We certainly don't need laws against it.

Standard charging cable is very useful. I would welcome this

Ah yes. I know best, so lets use the force of government (i.e. guns, cage, fines). You realize that is commie shit?

I don't disagree that it would be useful, but hey, I don't have to worry about that because I don't buy CrApple products. Problem solved.

OP is an actual commie that wants govt to control it all.

You are just hindering innovation and giving a group of non-tech people control over tech.

The Lightning cable was the basis of USB-C connector design.

Lighting cable is shit, usb c is better but apple wouldn't wait. It's not hindering progress:

In protest, Apple claims that the proposal would stifle innovation, but that was shot down by Anna Cavazzini, the chair of the European Parliament’s consumer protection committee, who pointed out that if something better than USB-C emerged, the rules would adapt.

Currently there's basically three types being used? C, micro-b, and lightning? What a complete waste of time and money.

If it is being used, it is not a waste. The government has no reason to regulate this.

This is being used as a gateway for more regulations for something else they desire.

I'm saying what Apple is doing is a complete waste of time and money, since there's only three major types of connectors being used.

What is the waste of time and money is the government trying enforce a charging/data port requirement.

Let the company decide what is ok for their product.

Government enforced monopoly on computer cables? This is some grade-A jewish bullshit. Let me guess, it's sold that it's going to save the world or some nonsense like that.
