Am I missing something? That’s Apple’s proprietary connector, all right. But it’s not “old-fashioned” in that it’s still currently used for new devices (at least for iPads in the US).
Left: USB-C connector
Right: Apple Lightning connector
And USB-C has the wires on the inside (which then goes inside the port on the device). So, unless I’m mistaken, they weren’t trying to look like anything other than the VGA part, because this connector wouldn’t work for anything other than an Apple device…
I believe the joke is calling Apple old fashioned for still sticking to a proprietary cable and/or calling proprietary cables old-fashioned in general. But also, Apple will be switching the iPhone cables to USB-C next gen iirc, so maybe it’s also old fashioned that way?
Apple has already switched their whole lineup to USB-C as far as I can tell, currently replying to this from my USB-C iPhone 15. Even my AirPods are USB-C.
That one is a rectangle inside a rectangle. The one in the OP looks like a capsule shape inside a rectangle, more like a usbc connector, so i assumed it was an intentional add by the the person who made the thing as another layer on top of the joke.
But yeah it could also be just someone trying to be clever while whining about usbc not being adopted by iphones sooner, and the icon is off because it’s designed to be made with 3d printer without a high enough level of precision

Thanks to EU regulations.
EU, I belive in you!
I believe in EU!
look at the vga connector again. it has a little icon on it that looks like a usbc slot
You mean this? That’s on every VGA cable…
