    Do you have any idea how many people are NOT going to be aware of the change and, if the sales people don’t tell them, it’s going to be a steady stream of Karen after Karen in the store. The general public doesn’t follow the tech news like this. Most of them aren’t going to be aware they’ll need a new cable if they need more than what’s in the box.

        Where in that article, other than the headline, does it say Apple is specifically saying that? It doesn’t. It’s an editorial decision.

        You’re basing your whole rant on what you read in the headline only?

            You said this…

            apple is specifically trying to get their staff to tell people that their old cables are useless e-waste, not to inform them they need new cables, but to disingenuously convince the public that regulators are the cause for the e-waste.

            That isn’t actually stated as fact or rumor anywhere other than the headline. So, yes, you were basing the whole rant in the post I replied to on a headline.
