Apple gonna Apple.
Are they really this spiteful? Wow
A $5 Pen drive transfers data faster. Some day, Apple will be able to figure how to do this in a multi hundred dollar phone. Need more MBAs.
This is why companies like Apple are malicious.
So - in your opinion - any company shipping a USB 2 device is ‘malicious’?
Apple was forced by the EU to stop using their old and worse connector
So they’re complying, but they’re purposefully limiting the less expensive phone as a malicious compliance to that
Pretty simple really
So lightning cables offer transfer rates of 480Mb/s - USB 2.0 offers 625Mb/s. You are cross that they swapped out Lightning for USB on the main models and use USB 3 as a differentiator in the Pro models. Fair enough, but that’s not ‘malicious’. It’s not even malicious compliance.
USB 2.0 is also 480Mbps.
You obviously don’t get the point. Educate yourself on Apple and USB-C, please.
It doesn’t sound like you actually have a rebuttal.
You mean the Apple that provided more than 20% of the engineering force that developed USBC?
Or the Apple that released the first USBC laptop to market?
That Apple?
Or the apple that fought against USB-C for their phones since basically forever and now implemented it with USB 2? Yes, this one.
More like standard capitalism. The usb c connectors are not slower then the lightning connectors so its not like they made it worse. They simply refused to make it better.
A bit like Nvidia continuing to maken better gpu chips but refusing to have them release with a more VRAM.
If course in a way, all for profit-companies are malicious. Extracting surplus value from workers and such.
so very apple to punish it’s own users because they have too many old components they need to use up, but if you’re paying for PRO you get actual 2023 modern USB.
so very, very apple.
Bro what modern it’s USB 3.0 lmao
USB 3.0 is already 15 years old.
the adaptor is usb3, the controller interface limits you to usb 2.0 speed. what part of the article was hard to comprehend?
Oh good, the weekly “Apple is the worst company in the world” post.
Apple makes sure there’s no shortage of reasons why we have these weekly posts
One last little ‘f you for making us do this’
Whatever, still better than lightning.
It’s funny (or sad I guess) that the current generation of laptops are back on mag chargers (I forget what they’re called) instead of USB C. There was never a time when both iPhones and MacBooks used USB C charging.
you can use either the magsafe or USB-C PD, both works
Sorry, should’ve clarified I meant the one that came with it in the box
The cable that comes in the box is MagSafe, but the power brick is usb-c
Sorry, should’ve clarified I meant the end of the cord that comes in the box that you’re meant to plug into the laptop
Haven’t used that charger since day 1 of receiving my work MBP M1. I just plug it into a Thunderbolt dock that supports usb-pd
they don’t care because apple punishes the poors at every opportunity anyway. soldered on ram & ssd’s on their laptops for fucks sake
I know it sounds awful but on the other hand Linus explains why it’s like that in this video https://youtu.be/7KuLMe6KSVQ?si=DAdNH3JlZ4HShIYZ
Not trying to justify it, just it’s good to know why.
Welcome to the Android world where even good smartphones worth 400 $ only support USB 2.0
My phone is 6 years old at this point, was only $350, and uses USB-C.
USB-C is a connector and, by itself, says nothing about the protocol in use. That’s the important part.
My cheap android phones have had usb3 for like 5 years =\
Most Androids still only get USB2.0, but not the ones that are in the price range of the iPhone.
Edit: Feels like I’m back on Reddit with people not reading my comment, I just said that although most units of Android phones are budget to mid-range, mine being a mid-range (Poco F3), Android phones anywhere near the range of an iPhone in Cost is USB 3.0+
Apple:
We had two children. Conner (yay! so handsome!!😍) and…erm, ugh…Billy. We don’t play favorites! Conner gets driven to private school, plays lacrosse, and has a tutor. Billy takes the bus to public school across town, has a sack lunch, and we broke his legs when he learned to walk because he was smaller than Conner.
You’re literally describing every product line ever.
Wait til this guy finds out about CARS
