Apple is All About User Experience

Apple insists that user experience is paramount! No expense is spared ensuring only the finest materials and technologies are employed to ensure absolute perfection!


Consider the Apple USB Cable:

     

Apple iPod / iPhone / iPad Connector - Proprietary circa 2000 design that was out of date before it was released. Pins typically fail within six to twelve months. Easy to knock out of alignment; occasionally hard to get positive lock. Internal parts made of plastic to avoid excessive wear with connected device. Reminiscent of recent Fisher-Price designs.

           VS

   

Blackberry Micro-B USB Connector - Industry standard that just works. 

Enough said.
