In a stunning display of entitlement and privilege, students across the country are protesting Apple's recent switch to USB-C. The students claim that the switch is a plot by Apple to sell more chargers, and that it will force them to buy new accessories for their devices.
"I'm so mad at Apple right now," said one student protestor. "I have all these Lightning cables, and now they're useless. I have to buy all new USB-C cables, and that's going to cost me a fortune."
Another student protestor complained that the switch to USB-C is inconvenient. "I have to carry around a different cable for my iPhone and my MacBook now," she said. "It's so annoying."
The students' protests have been met with ridicule from many people, who point out that USB-C is a superior standard to Lightning. USB-C is faster, more versatile, and more widely used than Lightning. It's also more durable and less likely to break.
"I don't understand why these students are so upset," said one tech blogger. "USB-C is a better standard in every way. Apple is doing us a favor by switching to it."
But the students don't care about logic or reason. They're just mad that Apple is making them buy new stuff.
"I'm going to protest until Apple gives me a free USB-C charger," said one student protestor. "I'm not giving up until I get what I want."
In the meantime, the rest of the world is moving on to USB-C. Apple is just the latest company to adopt the new standard. And the students who are protesting it are just making themselves look like fools.
