Just like religious zealots will never get it, Chris, Alan will never be
able to understand Apple plays him and his fellow iKooks like a fiddle.

Apple's entire strategy is to create duplication (which contributes to
eWaste), where the cable duplication helps enable Apple profits.

Apple's strategy is to also remove functionality (like industry standard
ports which all new iPhones completely lack) so you're forced to buy them
back in a more expensive form (which, again - contributes to eWaste).

For Apple to claim they "reduce waste" is a ludicrous argument in light of
the facts that Apple's strategy is to cause consumers to purchase things
they wouldn't have to purchase if they were on Android devices instead.

Can anyone here understand what Arlen is claiming?

What "duplication"?

I've used the same set of Lightning cables through 3 iPhones and 2 iPads.

I dare you to explain that claim in concrete terms.

What "cable duplication" have I been "played" by?
