### 1/5 — They don’t care about updating for people with USBC iPhones

*2024-11-15*

Don’t offer support for the original tentacle on your website if you don’t plan on updating to work with new iPhones 
They will just offer you a coupon for the new ones. A slap in the face to the original adopters of their products when they were an unknown company.

### 1/5 — Does NOT work with iPhone 15

*2024-01-24*

Does not support iPhone 15 with USB C. This renders the legacy boxes useless if you can’t control the settings. Update needed.
