Seems a little early doesn't it? I know the iPhone 15 and 16 have a USB type C, but don't they still sell devices that have the lighting port?

I mean if you’re buying the apple version sold on their website a 5x market value instead of an off brand one that’s on you.

The off brand ones are noisy and sounds like shit, the apple one was worth the money over that shit.
