The chorus to "She's Not There" by the Zombies makes no sense.
Well, let me tell you 'bout 1.) the way she looked
2.) The way she'd acted and 3.) the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool - Wait! What? No mention of her voice in list
Her eyes were clear and bright - No mention of her eyes in the list
*******************************************
We're never told about the way she looked, the way she acted or the colour of her hair.
*******************************************
But she's not there - neither was the writer's brain
More songs that don't make sense might be coming....

Just listened to the song. The lyrics in question are not a list and the following line makes lyrical sense to me.
Lyrics are poetry and not required to literally make sense

But we need to make the form factor, smaller.
Of course! Every few years, we have to replace the port and make the previous type obsolete so that everyone has to buy the new thing. This form of greed is not as obvious as cheaping out.

The "Zombies" were cut from a different piece of cloth, SjJ.
If you ever try to follow the history of this band...you'll find out what I mean. They were a strange group, with many changes in players.
From what I can understand, the song's about being falling for a "Narcissist-type" who cares little about the relationship they find them themselves in. Think of them as being "emotion vamps" who enjoy the game of sucking in emotions, and give back little in return. It's a control freak who never commits to the relationship! And, we've all met one or two in our lives.

Their early stuff was typical teen love angst of the 1960s. I like their rhythm and melodies. Catching.

She's Not There... by the 'Zombies'. That's poetic right there.

You don’t have to replace anything. I am still using the charging block from my iPhone 6 to charge my iPhone 14.
If you are one of those people that gets a new iPhone every time a new model becomes available, you will not even know the difference.
As for standards, as for the USB standard, there have been 4 different versions of it, and this does not just pertain to the physical form factor, but power and data rates. Standards are not stagnant.

They could have spent some effort to keep the same physical interface if it is in their interest to do so.

But it is not. Their interest is to make the phone as small as possible, and include as many features as possible.
It does create difficulties when the ports change, especially going from USB micro to USB C. The difference in size is hardly noticeable, then you try to connect one to the other.
No, I don't replace my ANDROID every time a new model is released. I replaced my Galaxy A32 2 years ago with a OnePlus Nord N30 out of necessity. Best phone I've ever had. I don't use Apple products because I have issues with their business practices.
Okay, but it's still a PITA to get used to one version, then another. I sincerely hope C is the last one I will ever see.

Their top interest to make $
The new cell phone connector is not smaller than before. It is getting wider in each new generation. I believe practically more than 90% of owner use it only for charging the phone. Data is transferred wireless. I have 3 generation of cells and 3 generation of the darn cable. It started small, then it got small but wider, and the latest one is the fattest. This is like on the 18V battery tools, some brand would change the battery connector from one generation to another. It is the same 18V to the tool. I don't see the tool would care if the voltage were from nicad, nimh, or Lithium.
I think the new PC USB has an added pin. Too lazy to look up what for. May be for direction data to speed things up. That would be the only reason to change the connector.

Agree on both "takes".
The cell phone has become a magnet for companies plying their products while just looking around for anything of interest. Even deleting "history" does little in eliminating mining "cookies".

It really bothers me that phones are manufactured to be as slim as possible, but then you are basically forced to put a plastic case on it anyway since they are asymmetrical due to the camera. I have two different phones, one Android and one Apple (one is work-provided) and neither of them can sit on a flat surface without wobbling when touching them. That is crazy to me. Expensive, advanced pieces of tech that can't even sit on a flat surface.
