"USB-C only" = "Think different"

[csurfr]

Mindless drivel (especially the bolded parts), all missing the point, not even worth pointing out all the flaws in your argument. USB-C is the future yet they still included a 3.5mm headphone adapter for their iPhones, go figure. But you keep splashing the cash on your dongles/extra cables.

And yet you keep crying about it on the internet. I could care less what you think about my "argument". It's not a debate. Apple went with USB-C. Use it or don't. Buy the adapters or cables or don't.

You can only charge the iPhone by attaching it to an USB port. USB-A or USB-C are supported. So I don't know what other options are there. These two ports are "right ports" to charge the iPhone. No adapter in the world will help you with anything that is not USB.

For USB-A ports you need an USB-A Lightning cable or an USB-C Lightning cable with an adapter.
For USB-C ports you need an USB-C Lightning cable or an USB-A Lightning cable with an adapter.

There's no other option.

With that in mind, please explain to me how an USB-C port is not the right port to charge an iPhone?

Sigh.

Someone commented that the MacBooks don't have the correct ports to charge the iPhone considering the cable supplied with the iPhone is lightning to USB-A. You even went as far as calling them a troll and suggested they were uninformed:

You can charge your iPhone (fact), they included the right ports. You are either uninformed or trolling.

As it transpires, they are correct. You cannot charge the iPhone with the MacBook Pro without the use of an additional cable or adaptor.

To you, this means the MacBook Pro does have the correct port.

You can only charge the iPhone by attaching it to an USB port.

Incorrect. Almost anything that outputs power will charge the iPhone. The cigarette lighter in my car, the power outlets in my house, the USB ports on my old PC, an old car battery etc. etc.
