Non-Standard connectors for charging devices, etc.

Most the industry have went with the same charging connection. Apple does not to make more money selling chargers.

I write iPad/iPhone apps and they are very closed about what they accept or reject and get annoyed if you want explanations.

They make cool things. But their attitude is bad at times.

The Galaxy S3 is a cool phone.

But they have a cult following. If I was Apple I would release a new model every 3 months. And the same people would line up to get them.
