On: The Hidden Worlds of the Klein Tools TI250 Thermal...

[causi]

I've got enough useless e-waste in my closet that requires the obsolete 30-pin iPhone connector or whose abandoned app has long vanished from the app store.

USB isn't likely to go anywhere. I bought my Seek Compact four or five years ago and all it took was a two dollar micro-usb to type-c adapter to keep it running on my newer phones.

Still depends on the developer keeping the app available and runnable on modern devices.

I'd say it's even odds which will expire first, the app compatibility or the non-replaceable battery in the standalone unit.

Problem is there is no open-source drivers for these "appcessory" devices. User has no control but to obey app distribution and developer.
