usb c is garbage. It may be common, but it has atrocious compatibility. It's less durable than lightning , and hard to plug in. Thank European socialists for imposing a worse product on everyone.

Universal Socialist Bus?
Curious what's going on with the stance of presenters? If you look carefully they all stand in a certain way, with a space between their feet that appears to be constant.
> USB-C is going to mean I can get rid of all these lightning cables Bought a Motorola G6 in 2018 for €199. It takes "fantastic" photos, and came in a "stunning new" (!?) color of black(ish). It's pretty much indestructible, runs Firefox with uBlock Origin, and it's "better for the environment" because every year you don't buy a new phone, the environment is happy. It also has USB-C, and a 3.5 jack.
Android is notorious for aging out phones much faster than Apple. You could use 8+ year old phones with the latest security updates up until very recently.

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.
> Honestly for me the best part is the USB-C. Some people predicted that new iPhone will be completely portless and allow wireless charging only, just to not having to support USB-C out of spite. I guess we'll need to wait a year or two more.
Curious what other devices people have that use USB-C? The only one I have is my Nintendo Switch. So for me, this is mostly an inconvenience having to get new cables for my phone. I'll miss Lightning.
Peripherals, usb-a is still what you usually get, just going by what’s common on store shelves. Just got a new kit at work a few weeks ago—all these brand-new devices are made to plug into A, even if the other end is usb-c. They come with A-to-c cables, or else are A-only. In the former case, I can at least fix it by just using c cables I already have.
But, overall, the peripheral world as most people experience it is still A-first. C options are usually more expensive, may be part of why.

It's too polished. COVID is over. Bring back the live demos.
Honestly for me the best part is the USB-C. Every year it's a new camera, new whatever, but USB-C is going to mean I can get rid of all these lightning cables. Not increasing the price is nice, I guess. Will have to buy more USB-C cables, though. (Technically the low highest end phone is higher, but higher spec, too). It comes with one USB-C to USB-C charging cable - not sure if it is a data cable, also. Pre-order Fr…

Now it just felt like the hardware is wasted on iOS. I still have the old Android phone, and instinctively use that rather than dealing with iOS. Next device is definitely going to be an android.
