Not to say I am game with it but at least the newer ones don't trip anymore when it's damp...

#102Wait wait wait, they advertise the iPhone as waterproof but still void the warranty and won’t fix it if their waterproofing fails? We lost the headphone jack for this?
My android pixel 7 reported water ingress in the usb port during a hike to kinder scout in the peak district (UK). It was raining lightly, but mostly there was a very thick fog / mist / drizzle that didn't really fall from the sky or land on you, rather it enveloped and coated you such that you were soaked.
I'd only removed my phone from my waterproof jacket pocket on two occasions to verify GPS location as I was still using a laminated map and compass.
This weather descended on me in about 10 minutes, I did not choose to be soaked.
Sounds like taking an iPhone camping in parts of the UK where the weather can do this is now an absolute no.
The pixel was fine btw, didn't stop working, and as soon as the air was less like soup it told me the water had cleared. Wouldn't want that to have been a warranty voiding event on a newer device though (I'm probably already out of warranty).

Water resistant is not water proof.

Nope you can connect four:

#106Possibly not related, but my past two Samsungs have had this feature and it drives me crazy. Usually they seem to trigger when using non standard cords and from 0% battery life. This means that I get a very loud warning sound triggering when trying to charge my phone from a battery pack or borrowing someone's cord. Oddly, charging when on (ie not completely dead), this feature doesn't trigger the alarm. I really disl…
Funnily enough, my Sony Xperia 5 III does this if I plug in a Thunderbolt 4 cable. Charges extra-slowly, and complains about liquid in the USB port. It's probably a not-entirely-compliant USB implementation on the phone.
Any TB 4 cable or just a specific one?

Water resistant is not water proof.
A cop out is not warranty. If your phone can't deal with water you probably shouldn't advertise that it can.

#109Earlier quoted context omitted.
Do you have to use that displaylink software with terrible framerate and latency compared to native? I tried to get 3 monitors working on a work Mac with a new triple DisplayPort dock and had a terrible time, I went back to my Linux desktop since I can easily get smooth 165hz native performance on three monitors
I have a 4K monitor connected via usb3 displaylink and it gets 60fps.
i find the latency is pretty bad even though it’s 60fps

What do you mean? I have 3 connected to mine
The M1 only supported 1 external monitor.
Air, the Pro does 2 or 3.
