Remember back when Apple dropped optical drives and how the world was going to end with Apple in bankruptcy?
LOL. It’s you that’s giving misinformation. The USB-C will not fit old USB-A bricks. Is that so hard to understand?
Just when you thought this news segment couldn't be more painful, they interview Kaiann.
Your existing Lightning to USBA cables will continue to work with your old USBA bricks.
Then one day when you upgrade to a multi port charger with USBC, you can take that Lightning to USBC cable out of the drawer and use it.
send me one then! lol I wish they would have included one for first time USB-C users, but it is what it is at this point.

you can recommend all you want, its doesn't erase the fact that this is a money grab plain and simple.
Literally only 2- I always sell them with my phones new, so I've been using the same ones for years-and were talking about bricks, not cables.
you're missing the point, they're forcing a change on us without even giving a USBC brick first so we have them going forward. I know its entitlement, but its also poor business. I dont have a way to charge the phone as is- that's the point.
You maybe correct but if they do I doubt they will be claiming it is for environmental reasons.
Actually they’re not forcing anything. You can still charge a new iPhone 12 using an old USB A to Lightning cable and even an old 5w brick. It won’t be fast but it will do the job. And maybe be a bit easier on the battery. If you’re a new iPhone owner and don’t have a computer with USB C, you would only need to get a cord.
I get that it’s not ideal for first time buyers, but then they’re also not missing anything from past experiences since they wouldn’t have past experiences. I’ve never gotten rid of any of my past iPhone charging bricks going back to the original iPhone, because trading in never requires it, so I’ve boxes with old 5w chargers, even after my four kids who had a way with “losing” theirs and I had to constantly dole them out.
Govorments forcing to wear a maska, everybody happy līke hindu cows.
India has the largest cattle inventory in the world. India is the 2nd largest beef exporter, 5th largest producer & the 7th largest consumer in the world. India has one of the world's largest and most brutal cattle industries. Apart from that, stray cows in India often starve to death. No happy hindu cows there.
Saw this segment today after just finishing The Morning Show yesterday night.
These anchors are definitely incredibly charismatic, makes me wonder if I had grown up with them on a daily basis.
All the chaos, obsession and power struggles that TMS portrayed hits even more home.

Well, GMA... is GMA.
Marques seemed almost disinterested in his video recapping the iPhone 12 lineup, but we’ll see once he gets a Pro Max.

You've already said you had USBA bricks. As one of the few folks without an spare Lightning/USBA cable, you'd best pop on down to the neighborhood store for a Lighting to USBA cable if you have an iphone12 arriving soon.
This isn't a difficult or expensive problem to solve.
