And the award goes to Harry McCracken for Time, with this gem:
>Apple dumped the dock connector because…well, because it’s Apple.
And for bonus points McCracken’s article when first posted spelled iPhone, as iPh0ne (that’s a zero instead of the letter `o`) in several places (hat tip to [David Barry](https://alpha.app.net/davidbarry/post/467214)).
I can’t tell you if the review is any good, I suspect not, because I stopped reading at the first quoted line. Not only is his statement blatant trolling, but it completely minimizes the tough design challenges that went into making a newer, smaller connector. Not to mention that it allows you to plug in a cable either way, something USB does not allow for.
