#812I 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.
It's not just the announcement videos, it's also all of the WWDC recordings. Technically they're pretty good, much better than the api documentation, but just deeply unsettling.

#813USB 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.
Sounds like the A16 just doesn't have the I/O block for USB 3. They are using the chip from the last generation for the base model. Though to put this in a realistic context, I am curious what percentage of iPhones have ever, over their usage lifespan, made a data connection over USB. I suspect that percentage is low single-digit percentages, and -- again speculating -- I would wager they are almost always by users w…
I'm a techie apple nerd and I've never made a data connection over usb. Just use google photos/icloud drive/air drop to transfer data to my desktop computer

#814Curious 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.

Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#815Honestly 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…
USB-C means you’ll still have different cables with different speeds for different devices but now they’ll all look the same.
I don't wish to waste even a single minute of my life thinking about this.

The only thing worse than Apple fanboys is anti-Apple fanboys projecting.
No one is going to claim this. The fact the Pro gets 10Gbit USB 3 _is_ interesting (particularly for anyone using the phone for video), but certainly not revolutionary or genius.
Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#817This is honestly the saddest thing I’ve read in years, maybe even decades. Tech is such an shitty abyss right now, ten years ago people got excited because of truly revolutionary features , like cameras that were better than $1000 digital cameras, 4G that made the internet not just usable but fast biometrics that actually worked, on a phone, in your pocket, like holy fuck that was mind blowing. We’ve gone so far down…
I fail to understand your point. What kind of feature do you to be excited to see in a product that is 16 years old?
Do you think the and thing when you buy a new dishwasher, a couch, a chair? That it’s mediocre?
Smartphones are not the future anymore, there’s people starting university soon that always had one, and never lived in a world without the iPhone.
Also, besides arguably the first few iPhones, Apple never distinguished itself from the competition with the technology it uses, but by the quality of its offering, which is why bending phones or poorly designed antennas are more important for them than having the newest tech available half a second after being commercially viable - that’s what Android OEMs do to differentiate.
I know that for me, personally, having a new iPhone with USB-C is a must have feature, which is why I have my iPhone 11 still chumming along.

#818> ”It comes with one USB-C to USB-C charging cable - not sure if it is a data cable, also.” All USB-C cables must support USB 2.0 480 Mbps data transfer, at minimum. There’s no such thing as a USB-C cable that doesn’t support data.
Of course there are, they’re sold as “privacy” or sometimes “security” cables. To be clear, “juice jacking” is not a thing anymore, but people are still foolishly worried about it so there’s a market. https://www.amazon.com/PortaPow-NA-USB-C-Data-Blocker/dp/B08...

#819USBC is a golden example of "good" regulation. Thank you EU!
And with it goes millions of cables to the landfill

Think this technique is often used to prevent the presenter from swaying side to side.
