surprisal ! Apple ’s being a dick again . It ’s crushed a really great , universal charge idea , which wasgaining steam on Kickstarterbecause it wo n’t allow the Lightning arranger to be used in a gadget with multiple charging option .
According to Apple ’s licencing requirements for the Lightning transcriber — that yes , was a big dance step up from the ancient 30 - pin dock connector — you ca n’t even bundle the Lightning connecter with something that can also charge via the old 30 - pin . Now that ’s just goddamn American Samoa - backwards . Why in hell would Apple stop something that can charge all of its own gimmick ? I mean , not everyone ’s raise to an iPhone 5 – hell , some masses buy an iPad 3 intellection it would last at least a year before you made it obsolete , Apple .
In Edison Junior ’s own chief executive officer ’s wordstalking to Venture Beat :
“ We are pissed . I think they are being a crowd of arse , and I cogitate they ’re hurting their client . ”
I could n’t agree more . The only bright side to all this is that Edison Junior ’s doing the correct thing and refunding all the kickstarter backers their contributions in full , which means the company ’s become to take a striking in both card fees and kickstarter ’s own fee .
I pretend when you ’re beholden to a individual ship’s company like Apple , who have sex proprietary connectors , you ’re fundamentally screwed if it decides it does n’t like you , and your idea . But come on Apple , do n’t be a dick . Make our lives easy , and do n’t block thing like this . Otherwise we might be hale into buying theChinese knockoff or else . [ Venture Beat ]
