I remember the complaints when they moved away from the 40-pin to lightning.

Are apple consumers more prone to this complaint than the rest of us? Since I've had cell phones I've moved from USB-mini to USB-micro to USB-C. Every time it was a better change. This is just as many as apple is being asked to do except now they get to benefit from all of the 3rd party cable manufacturers.

I think most tech-illiterate consumers are iPhone users. That’s been my experience in the US at least. If I started talking cable wattage or data transfer speeds to my aunts and uncles they would immediately glaze over.

I still hear people complain about the switch from 30-pin to Lightning. People who aren't into tech are extremely resistant to change
