Apple Apple ” the new iPad Pro is the lightning connector for charging the device and replaced by a USB-C port. Not very useful if you than now, different chargers must meezeulen because your iPhone still continue to be a lightningpoort. That was also Indian billionaire Anand Mahindra, who complained did on Twitter.

Apple is known to already like of connectors and ports to exchange, so the consumer cost will be hunted, because that adapters need to buy. That extra cost would not be a problem for the CEO of the Mahindra Group, whose capacity is estimated at 1.5 billion euros. Still annoys also the strategy of the techreus, which to him requires the purchase of an additional charger and new earphones. “More junk on a trip. Nice strategy to increase sales of accessories to boost, but it does not surprise me that more and more people in their old models to keep”, tweette Anand Mahindra.

It is not clear whether the businessman in a painful way behind came and at a certain moment, had to determine that he is not a charger, had for one of his devices. It is in any case remarkable that he was committed to the sales strategy of Apple to interfere.

Apple has indeed built a reputation which this kind of adjustments. The charging port for the iPad is already the third version. Also, users of the MacBook Pro were in the past frustrated, when Apple origin made with the much-vaunted MagSafe connector. And the introduction of MacBooks with only little useful USB-C ports, ordered the customers to get extra adapters and cables to buy to connect external devices to connect.

Apple would this year also with the iPhone the lightningpoort replaced by a USB-C port. Always the newest and most expensive device to purchase is therefore also a solution to minimise the “clutter” to draw.
