It’s a very complicated process, I’m not sure you’d understand.

I don’t doubt your little brain cannot comprehend these things, but if everybody is forced to use one thing, then people will work towards improving that thing. It’s common knowledge. Take a breath of fresh air and relax, don’t spam 3 comments on one reply.

That doesn’t make any sense. If all devices will use usb type c then obviously companies interested in this will invest more R&D into usb type c ports and make them faster or more efficient. And governments should absolutely be involved in what companies are allowed to do, tech companies included.

Eu did this to basically create a universal port for all electronic devices, which as a consumer I fully support.

I am an Apple user fully invested in the Apple ecosystem. I have an iPhone, an Apple Watch, an iPad, AirPods and a MacBook. I absolutely fucking hate the charging solutions this company offers. I need 3 fucking cables to charge my devices, which all belong to Apple, and an extra MagSafe cable if I want to charge MagSafe. Fuck that, they can absolutely make one cable for all devices and I can’t wait until they’re forced to.

And your security argument makes no sense, even Apple in it’s state is protected against what you’re saying. If you can’t unlock the device then you can’t allow it to connect to a computer and transfer data from/to it.

Apple’s decision to keep multiple charging ports at this point is strictly financial, they benefit a lot from forcing people to buy oem cables that cost a lot more then a regular usb type c cable that would work on all devices.

Well I hope for your sake the Apple employee had any clue what he was doing and blocked+wiped the device. If it wasn’t wiped and the thief got somehow access to it, your data may be compromised so just to be sure change your password and make sure you have 2 step verification.

Other then this there’s not much you can do and what’s done is done, delete it from your account again and forget about it.

Was your phone locked? Or could the thief access all your data?

With all the (pretty good) jokes and memes over here, Apple is honestly brilliant for doing this. There’s a true addiction for their brand on the market and I can actually see many many people using this. Broke, “bad with money” people, but many nonetheless.
