You need to get the pro if you want USB 3 transfer speeds, lol.

Is there a correlation between transfer speed and charging speed? If you don’t have the pro, will it also result in slower charging?

Who’s plugging their iPhone into a computer to transfer things?

Why do they keep putting glass on the back of phones?.. why?.. The last thing I want is more breakable/shatterable glass on my phone. I will never understand this. It’s a complete looks over function decision that’s just silly.

Normally I don’t advocate for plastic, but you know… plastic and other non metal materials that don’t shatter as easily exist.

My s22 has a glass back and I really like it. It feels nice, it looks nice, and although mine does have a small crack it doesn’t affect the function of the phone in any way so its no big deal.

Well google fixed it with the pixel 5, but then went back to glass :(

The short answer is reception and the long answer is above my level of understanding.

Part of it is also wireless charging I think. A metal back would interfere with that afaik and plastic feels too cheap for a lot of people these days, especially with how expensive phones are getting

I wouldn’t mind a metal back with a circle of glass for charging, but that is a very un-apple aesthetic.

That frosted glass looks neat but I get the feeling the photos aren’t doing it justice. I’m looking forward to seeing them in person.

Currently on a 12 Pro with low battery health and a damaged lightning port. Undecided if I should just replace the battery and repair the port or upgrade phones. I do like the idea of macro photography introduced a couple years ago since I take a lot of close up pictures of small mechanical watch movements, which are hard to capture on my current device. I also like the idea of a better battery life. At the same time I still like my phone and wouldn’t be upgrading if it was in brand new condition still

Yeah it’s the camera and battery for me. Chip too but I won’t be getting the pro.
