I'm honestly pretty excited for the Apple world to learn how hard pocket lint is to get out of a USB-C port.

Not hard at all? USB-C has been consistently simpler for me and I’m far less worried about damaging pins. Pro tip: cut a pointed pick out of the corner of an old credit card. Works great.

Having had both Android and iPhone, I just used a toothpick on my iPhone and it never took more than a couple seconds. I find myself picking my Pixel 6 with a very fine sewing needle for like 15 minutes before my cable will seat properly.

I miss Jobs. These prerecorded presentations are soulless and almost embarrassing at times. Happy to see USB-C on the iPhone (thanks EU) and no price hikes.

I think the need for a special presentation for yearly iterative updates to a phone and watch is pretty minimal these days. Just put out a press release

Which will stay in a protective cover/case for it's life forbid you need to repair a crack.

Felt like I was watching a presentation made with AI actors. The long pauses, PR-driven language, it was all so sterile and politically correct. Very cringe.

I get the sterile feeling part but how did you make the jump to "political correctness"?

I wonder if you'll be able to connect a harddrive to the phone via USB-C and send all your photos to your harddrive. (even if the process took a Mac to help facilitate) That'd be the best feature as people have all so many photos and at this point they have to live on the cloud. But whether they admit it or not, the cloud can be buggy and it's very common to lose photos or videos if that's the only place they live.

USB 2.0 on the 15 is kind of a joke considering it came out in April of 2000. 60hz, USB 2.0, getting a bit dated. I know a bunch of people will excuse it but at that price I think it's not ideal. Oh and RIP 13 Mini, you'll be my phone until I can't use it anymore I suppose.

Has the EU legislation factored in the USB-*(D?) might come next? Hopefully it doesn't slow down adoption of new technology. The main downside instead of buying a lightning cable that always work we now have to decipher the 10 minor variations of USB-C's various speeds/power now with zero consistency in naming schemes or amazon titles.

If there is a USB-*, the EU can just update the policy for new devices with a grace period of X years. Problem solved.

I understand why they did it. But just my perspective on it, I will have to replace all my lightning cables with usb-c, and the usb-c ecosystem seems like a nightmare to me from what I have seen. This would be my first usb-c device.

This is why the iPhone was nearly the last Apple device to switch to USB-C. Plenty of people will be irritated at having to buy bunch of new cables, and they've been accumulating Lightning cables for a decade. And unlike something like Micro USB, lightning cables don't often wear out. But it is better to finally make the jump. I've never been unhappy with Lightning, but almost everything else I own has now switched t…

My brother has an iPad with the Lightning port on it, and has to get new cables every few years because they start fraying and breaking around the bottom of the connector.

And he isn't really rough or abusive with these cables either.

Where as I still have MicroUSB cables from 10 or 12yrs ago that still look and work like new.

The iphone 14 non pro addressed that problem, presumably the 15 non pro will as well. It is cheap to replace, they have a DIY kit
