It really should be 3.0 speeds but its not any slower than the lightning cable so it’s pretty much the same. Just a universal charging port instead of an iPhone specific one.
“ the company will limit the transfer speeds on the base model iPhones to just 480Mb/s, the same as Lightning and USB 2.0.”
Don't buy products from Apple or Microsoft. It's not impossible, it's not even difficult
Can't wait to find out it is just a software or hardware throttle and with a simple fix get full speed. The small repair shops still going to be busy.
~~I don't really care, I'm just glad it'll be USB-C. The only thing I use a cable for on my phone these days is when I rent a car that doesn't have wireless Carplay....and I forgot my wireless adapter.~~
I mean, fuck Apple! I can't believe this shit! Outrage! Gnashing of teeth! OMFG those bastards!
While you wont often run into the need, it'll become a real issue if you ever end up needing to do a physical backup on a device with near ~1TB of storage used.
Apple's propriety Lightning cable may offer cross-device compatibility
I may need to see the math on this. I thought the only devices it worked across were ones apple decided it would within its own offerings, specifically after renting on its decision to NOT let them.
It's less "hands across America" and more "stop hitting yourself" while still not playing nice with others.
Please show me where I'm wrong.
Not surprising tbh, loads of mid-range Android phones do that. They'll implement USB4 in a year or 2 and maybe be the first to implement it in a phone, then talk the biggest game about it at their developer conference like they invented USB or something.
It's pretty cyclical at this point, they're saving a talking point for later
I haven’t used a cable to sync my iPhone for a long time. The speed does not matter to me unless they give us free tethering via cable. Ever since I got a box of wireless chargers to scatter around the house I don’t think I have used a cable.
The few good things Apple has contributed to the world (libcups) are far outweighed by how much bad they do. Change my mind.
Edit: Ok, emotional response, it looks like this is just a rumor. But I still stand by what I said. Fuck Apple and their shit software.
