If iPhone 12 mini had USB-C, I would have bought my first iPhone in years.
I really wanted the iPhone mini size. But my phones, laptops, and headphones all use USB-C.
I've tried an iPhone in the store every year for ages, and the software doesn't seem like a net win. But the size is a huge draw.
- AuthorizedCust 6y ago(I am author of the article that was shared.) I hope I am not whining too much about Lightning in my article. It is annoying, but in the end, it just means I need to have a cable dedicated to the Apple phone in my bedroom, car, and in my battery backup charger. I can manage. But it would still be nice if I could just stock a single type of cable. The iPhone 12 is compatible with USB PD, which is nice. My Lightning cable plugged into my USB C brick means fast charging. But why be USB PD compatible and not just go all the way?
- mikelward 6y agoIt's not a dealbreaker, but it is a tiebreaker. Having one charger and one cable in my backpack is really nice.
- AuthorizedCust 6y agoAgree 100%. More cognitive load, more hassle, more complexity, for absolutely zero benefit. That to me is more than tiebreaker, but I agree not dealbreaker.
