This is an apple_enthusiast community. Why are there so many Apple hating trolls on here? Is their life really so harmed by the existence of Apple that they have to spend every waking moment trashing them on an enthusiast community? I feel sorry for them.
This just showed up I’m my feed, I could care less what you use and I’m a android user who never been in a android community. I don’t like corporations playing games to skirt laws though
The vast majority of the code is WebKit, which is the same across platforms. The UI is a small amount of code compared to WebKit, and even then I’m sure there is a lot of sharing between the iOS and iPadOS versions.
Do you really use USB-C to transfer data or to charge your phone? It’s been years since I used it for data, so I don’t think that’s a problem, in a world where cloud is becoming the norm.
Even back when I used android (I switched earlier this year) I found it far faster and easier to move data wirelessly than over a cable, even a USB-C. First I had to fight with my computer and phone to connect to one another… Or I could just upload to box on my phone, refresh on my computer and move the file.
Funny enough, I did so just last month. At first I tried it over wireless but it was far too slow. I was moving dozens of GBs of video to my phone. I do that whenever I’m prepping for a plane flight.
You’re being downvoted, but you’re right. The majprity of apples users will not use the port for data. There’s a couple use cases, but they’re all niche
That’s my point, maybe it wasn’t clear enough. I think people that need to transfer a lot of data often to and from their phone can justify taking the Pro model (photographers, video makers, etc)
The chip in the iPhone 15 is an upgrade from the iPhone 14. It just doesn’t do what you specifically want it to do. Perhaps you should buy a different phone.
While true, it’s interesting that the SOC in the “pro” models have started adopting a “pro” branding for the first time.
So it’s quite likely that they will give the equivalent processor minus the “pro” features to the base model next year. I am betting that USB 3.x is a “pro” feature.
But that’s exactly why last year’s 14 Pro came under so much criticism for its slow wired connection: the phone itself supported capturing high resolution, high framerate, high bitrate ProRes video, but didn’t have a way of quickly transferring directly over a cable.
But also, even regular photos and video can take up a big chunk of space, and having a non-cloud option for practically backing up the contents is helpful.
No, they tend to use last year’s Pro chip in this year’s base model. The A16 only supported USB 2.0 speeds last year in the iPhone 14 Pro model (despite the iPads showing us that Lightning does support USB 3 speeds), and it’s what’s in this year’s iPhone 15 base model.
The A17 supports higher speed through the USB Bus, so there’s no reason to hold that back for next year’s base model.
The thing that’s notable this time is that the pro chips are branded with “pro”. This absolutely means that next year the base models will get the same chip except it’s stripped of some features and its “pro” branding. The question is which features. I am betting it’s USB 3.0.
So it’s quite likely that they will give the equivalent processor minus the “pro” features to the base model next year
Actually… that’s unlikely.
This year’s “Pro” processor is fabricated on TSMC’s 3nm N3B process that has very low yield rates - Apple is apparently taking up 90% of the global production capacity for N3B fabrication even though they only use it with relatively low volume “Pro” chipsets.
They’ll surely have better yields next year, but it would still be nowhere near enough to put them in the mainstream iPhone models. TSMC has said they have a new process (which will require new chip designs) online now, and that’s what next year’s mainstream iPhones will use. Manufacturing might have already started (for a late next year launch date).
