    Ha. I like the vga part but the part that makes your usb - c connector look like an old fashioned proprietary apple lightening connector is just too much!

            I know, I had to look at it for a while but the side edges in the pictures are rather sharp while a USB connector would have a completely round edge…

      No, how about DVI that looks like HDMI? Hold on…

      Explaination: basically HDMI is patent-troll-guarded version of DVI with some additional(and useless or actively harmful) stuff

      You could take the screws out of your iPhone and glue them onto the knobs, it’ll void your AppleCare though.

      Leave a factually incorrect, unprompted whataboutism about socialism or communism in a thread criticizing capitalism and I bet you could rival this comment count.

    A power plug, but the three-prong ones like we have in the UK. The two lower prongs would appear to be plugged into the phone, and the top prong would just hover uselessly above the phone.

    Bonus points for following the shape of the plug properly and having the cable come out of the bottom of the wall wart, so the phone can never lat down flat while it’s charging.

    Terrible ideas:

    • Garden hose
    • NEMA 10-50 - each “prong” could be a different connector
    • CCS
    • USB-A
    • Quick-connect air coupler

      The first one reminds me of this classic

      cable with an HDMI connector on one end, and a water hose connector on the other
