God damn it, now I have to overtly say that “no, I don’t want anyone touching my phone charger”

(The law is good, but this is just an unintended consequence of that 😓)

    You can still say no, because it’s not an iphone charger. You aren’t required to and they aren’t entitled.

    I still do cause most iUsers I’ve encountered don’t understand standards. Once one of them said " yeah but it’s USB c? " to which I replied yes but the version for pixel phones. He didn’t insist.

    You can say “sorry, I don’t have chargers for Apple stuff.”

    “Can I use your wall socke…”

    “None of them are for Apple stuff, either, sorry.”

      That’s so mischievous, that would drive someone insane trying to troubleshoot the issue. That being said, I feel like we’re above the idea of creating walled gardens.

    Don’t worry, Apple saved you here. While the plug is technically a USB C, it must be an Apple charger to properly charge their crap-phones. Anything “less” only allows very slow charging.

    In my experience I have more iPhone chargers stolen from me than anything else. iPhone users are cheap, can’t even be bothered to change to non-default ringtones because they cost money 🤣
