If it was hardwired you would need to buy a whole new kit…
And does anyone even know the tech specs to know if an existing cable is capable of providing the power the device needs?
USB C cables can provide more than enough if made properly. No way this device exceeds those specs.
Nah, Apple will gladly take your money for a replacement.
And I have no idea of the specs, but I've seen some truly power hungry laptops that charge with USB-C.
No… but you agree as well… what? A battery with an attached cable kit would cost vastly more than just a replaceable cable mate. Atleast Apple didn’t go that route, of course they want your money, they could have taken more by not having a replaceable cable at all…..
The pack charges with USB-c this cable goes from headset to battery pack and could provide more power or even data than what usb-c does. So atleast it’s replaceable instead of being hardwired and needing to buy a whole new kit to replace a damaged connecto/cable.
USB PD* can, not usb c. It uses the same connector, but it’s an entirely different standard, but you wouldn’t understand this if you just think I’m a troll…
Yes, it’s called being a realist and understanding how the world works, it’s the opposite of being brainwashed, like you are for hating Apple for no other reason than to hate. They suck, I never said otherwise, but it’s funny how pointing out what should be painfully obvious makes me the troll… right………
I don't "hate" Apple. I "hate" people dumb enough to defend a corporation that systematically milks them. When it comes to Apple itself, I simply don't give them my money.
I’m not defending them, I’m pointing out what should be obvious, but of course Lemmy just hates Apple, so it’s seeing as defending them….
People don’t like the truth, it’s that simple, but I’m not defending them.
Not lemmy, any sensible person.
