Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report::undefined
This isn’t all that weird. Most USB-C cables sold as “charging cables” are only wired up with 4-pin USB 2.0, because it keeps costs down for a product that wasn’t designed for data.
And most people never transfer data do/from their phones with USB anyway, in a world of wireless protocols.
And it’s likely at least a usb 3 controller in it just limited to 2.0 speeds. Why even bother
I don’t really care, I’m just glad it’ll be USB-C. The only thing I use a cable for on my phone these days is when I rent a car that doesn’t have wireless Carplay…and I forgot my wireless adapter.
I mean, fuck Apple! I can’t believe this shit! Outrage! Gnashing of teeth! OMFG those bastards!
Little bit of a strange article.
First, it’s about data transfer speeds. I don’t think… anyone else in my extended family, and certainly none of the iPhone users, use a cable to transfer data frequently.
But more importantly - the subtitle of the article says that only the pro models offer faster charging speeds. Despite the article being exclusively about data transfer speeds.
I use USB-C for data heavy applications all the time. I’m running a monitor on one right now.
This means that a bunch of people are just going to end up with cables that are once again locked into their iPhone ecosystem and can’t be used for any other purpose. I find it hard to believe that this is anything but Apple thumbing their nose at the new EU regulations by intentionally making their “compliant” cables useless.
I highly doubt the limitation is going to be at the cable. They are generally known for their high quality production capabilities, meaning they would have to actively make the cable worse (and likely cost more while doing so.)
They are likely going to simply limit the controller to 2.0 speeds.
Don’t buy products from Apple or Microsoft. It’s not impossible, it’s not even difficult
I use android, OnePlus ATM. I stopped using google search since years ago and use DDG which I love and has been superior to google for years now. Still use google storage but I’d like to shift to a different provider, maybe self hosting with nextcloud
I loved Samsung up to about 5 years ago or so, it’s absolute shite now. Samsung was awesome but got complacent int heir success and now it’s all corporate bullshit. Bought a monitor that literally fell apart, spent literally over 20 hours on the phone for them to apply warranty. Samsung TVs are now spyware adservers, wtf? Samsung phones are overpriced bloatware machines that can’t be cleaned up.
For tv I’d go with LG now, I guess and I hoe they won’t fuck it up.
Even for streaming I use jellyfin now to get rid of Disney, prime and Netflix
Good approaches :D hope your android is degoogled. With OnePlus, I can recommend to try PostmarkedOS. It is a linux alpine for multiple android phones, and OnePlus phones are one of the best supported devices.
