What integrated experience when you can't even connect your iPhone to your Mac without an adapter?
- mbreese 10y agoThere are better arguments for Apple's connectivity issues. I haven't had to directly attach my phone to my Mac in years. Sure, there are use-cases, but really, how many people plug their phones into their computers on a regular basis?
- ninkendo 10y agoI do a lot more than you'd think, usually it's because I use the laptop as an extra battery to give my phone a quick boost while I'm traveling. It also uses a lot of battery to use your phone as a wifi hotspot, using USB to share the internet connection is a lot more economical (you're actually charging the phone while it's happening.)
- wmeredith 10y agoI plug my phone I to my laptop daily, but mostly just to charge. It may as well be a wall.

- Gracana 10y agoMaybe your employer can purchase the appropriate cable for you, so you aren't burdened with another dongle. http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0X2AM/A/usb-c-to-lightning-cable-1-m http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0X2AM/A/usb-c-to-lightni...
- jws 10y agoAre we pretending that Apple doesn't sell USB-C to Lightning cables? For a special bonus you no longer have to carry two AC adapters, your USB-C to Lightning cable goes into the same AC adapter as your laptop if you wish.
- gcb0 10y agovia their "cloud". now if you refuse to give apple all your email, wifi passwords, pictures, etc, you will not have any integration. Mostly like google stuff. If i do not give google my wifi passwords then i can't get my android watch to use wifi at all! Apple is just catching up on the game they invented.
