> Apple’s engineers should be left to come up with a solution
That’s precisely what we’re trying to avoid. Every company coming up with their own version that is definitely totally superior to the other companies’ and thus incompatible
And who says it needs to be compatible? Companies design what they feel are the best/better components for their products. If consumers want to have a "standard" connector that works with multiple devices, they have that with the many Android OEMs that choose to use USB.
But I don't see why the government should be forcing companies to use a standard when it has no clear connection to safety of the product.
