Apple isn’t happy about India’s demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C::Apple has urged the Indian IT ministry to make changes to its single charger rules, as adding USB-C to older iPhone models will make it hard for Apple to meet production targets for India’s manufacturing and export laws.

    Ever wonder why there’s no more reasonable sized pick up trucks in America? CAFE regulations incentivize auto makers to manufacture ginormous trucks. I am pro-regulation in most cases but there are some real stinkers out there.

      Since when? We have pickups of every size. Small pathetic compact trucks like the Maverick, Mid sized like the Colorado, Tacoma, Ridgeline, Frontier, and then all the actual pickups. There was only a short time after the Ranger went away for the second time where there wasn’t many small P/U options, they’re plenty again.

        Your small pathetic maverick today is as big as the 1990s F-150 and maybe even 250. And they had similar or bigger hauling capacity that their modern counterparts.

          As somebody that owned a 92 F150, No the hell it’s not! Not even close. The Maverick is a car with a bed.

        Glad to hear they’re making a comeback. I haven’t looked at the new truck market for a while so I wasn’t aware. I usually stick to secondhand vans.
