As long as they use the same as everyone else natively, that's fine. Supplying an adapter to micro-USB isn't really good enough, they shouldn't have been allowed to get away with it.

What I find odd about Apple devices is their reluctance to charge if attached to a non Apple plug.

Maybe when everyone else catches up you'll see a single cable, until then any phone sold with micro usb should come with a lightning adaptor.

I haven't found a single correctly rated USB plug that failed to charge an iPhone.

Your arguments are baseless and as it's always the same tripe.

Thanks for being an example.
Surely you can't be oblivious to your own comments? you just absolutely proved my point.

You might want to check the different chargers for different MACs, the PC world hasn't changed the power for 30+ years .. kettle lead all the way and before you quote different laptops have different charges .. they tend to be from different companies.

Your argument about labour is mind numbing you both accept Apples lies and what's worse, you justify it by saying well other companies do it..

For the last 15 years or more I've used a Kettle lead in my desktop Mac's so what's your point? Other than making yourself look a fool.
