This shit should be illegal. Apple got smacked by the EU for this exact practice. Do we think that will applied evenly?

USB fourm should sue them for using the USB name and not bring compliant

lol, then they'd have no time for anything else. usb-c is so complicated that basically nobody is compliant.

Time for USB-D.

My suggestion is a ridiculous round plug where the bottom three/four contacts are a standard 3.5mm audio connector and then you have like twelve extra (narrower) contacts at the top.

A TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS jack.
