      Man I really laughed out loud when they said “USB3 allows for 20x times faster speeds than USB2” during the event. Of course it does doofus nobody uses USB2 anymore

        Is this an Easter technology community? Because you just got downvoted aggressively for making a pastel color joke.

          He got downvoted because the title involves the word “Apple” and his comment wasn’t negative.

          I miss r/AngryUpvote… I appreciate the EU forcing big tech to do things that should be done but are “less profitable”, but I got to admit there’s limits to what a government should and shouldn’t regulate.

    as always, Apple is on the top when it comes to innovation. Their newly invented “USB-C” (the C stands for “cool”) connector looks very solid and soon we will probably see the android copycats steal that connector and put it on their phones, too.

      hot take.

      When did Apple claim to innovate USBC? Was it when they said that USBC has become the standard and so they’re adopting it? Or was it the rest of the presentation where they didn’t mention it at all?

    I’m not gonna buy it anyways since I don’t like iOS, but I really appreciate that this will make it easier to bum charging cables off my family members.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    We’ve been waiting for the day that the iPhone would switch to the widely used USB-C standard instead of Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector.

    USB-C is good news, but if you were hoping for a totally new iPhone 15 design, well, that’s not happening this year.

    The iPhone 15 also has an OLED Super Retina display, which supports Dolby Vision content with 1,600 nits of brightness.

    The biggest noticeable upgrade to the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus outside of the visible USB-C and Dynamic Island changes is an improved camera system.

    The iPhone 15 also includes a second-generation ultra wideband chip, just like the new Apple Watch Series 9.

    Apple is launching its latest iPhone 15 models alongside a new Apple Watch Series 9, which includes an upgraded chip with improved GPU performance, a second-generation ultra wideband chip, a “double-tap” feature, and more.

    ‘The Dynamic Island’?!? WTF?

    Is this something related to a network TV Action Sports reality show?

    Perhaps a contested patch of guano near the Philippines where China is building an illegal military base?

    Or a new nature documentary about Hawaiian volcanoes?

      No, i had watch a video showing it to figure out that it’s just the fancy way they make their UI of iOS use the camera cutout intentionally. It does dynamic stuff and makes it feel less like a static island. They’re really scraping the barrel with that one.

        I mean, it is better than just having a hole punch as other manufacturers have done. But they definitely have way overmarketed it.
