I’ll give it a try. Parallel to 25-pin serial to a gender bender to 9-pin serial to gender bender to ps/2 to RCA. The big thing has VGA coming out and on the other side some kind of BNC connector to coax, 10base2 maybe, then a bunch of coax types ending in a 6.35mm audio plug.
Getting rid of ports is the least of their foolery. To “fit more phones per container” “eliminate package waste” and for other touted “green” reasons- Apple has declared their new ten phones won’t ship with buds since people have their own or tend to buy upgraded ones.... but.... they redesigned the charging systems for USB 3 fast charging... to lightening... as opposed to.... I don’t know... switching to USB C ports and eliminating the waste of proprietary charge cables? That smells like it’s all BS driven by profit to me.
Of course.... the rabid and often somewhat ignorant rabid anti Apple crowd, who has also been complaining about apples proprietary chargers for decades on- of Apple actually did switch to a universal connector they’d probably just hate on that and day it’s a way to sell you all new accessories and docks. So it is what is is I suppose. At least with “wireless charging” you don’t necessarily need a model specific cable, just a compatible wireless charger; and most accessories no longer use a hard connection to the phone anyway- preferring Bluetooth nowadays.
