>can’t use the new style of usb-c cable with an old style adapter

Lightning has been out for 9 years now and they’re still using it. If you’ve bought anything mobile from apple you’ve got one of the usb-a to lightning cables.

Not only that, Apple-skeptics previously highlighted how including a cable that wasn’t able to connect to the latest Apple laptops was bad design.

Just goes to show Apple is damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

tldr: No more fully-functional 3rd-party screen replacements for now.

These practices should be deem illegal and anticompetitive.
