>Apple isn't good at charging.
They're pretty good at changing how you charge every few years and charging you for that change though.
- SiempreViernes 4y agoI'd reword that as: Can't agree: Cupertino constantly changes charging copling and consequently can charge for that change.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoI think mine was more nicely balanced, but I suppose the increase in alliteration may be worth it.
- drcongo 4y agoLightning out-lived micro USB, two types of mini USB and a thousand proprietary device specific connectors. What are you talking about?
- nikanj 4y agoApple bad -HN
- raisedbyninjas 4y agoLightning was put on the iPhone in 2012. Other phone manufacturers switched to micro-USB in 2009 at the behest of the EU. Apple even released a micro-USB -> 30 pin connector to comply with the law. Digital cameras, and other devices do have a habit of picking other connectors.
- olyjohn 4y agoThere were two 30 pin connectors by the way. I had to get an adapter to use my 3g iPhone on an older car stereo that supported iPods. All it did was flip a couple of the pins around.
- lostlogin 4y agoAre they? There have been two iPhone charge cables, and the original was the iPod charger. How many have been used by other companies? That mouse charger is ludicrous. Worst apple design ever?
- dna_polymerase 4y agoThe fact that there are multiple charge cables shows how good Apple is at charging.
- bierjunge 4y agoApple is great at charging? No, they are not. I have a 2019 Macbook Pro with an Intel i9. When working, the i9 pretty much gets throttled down to the performance of an i5 because the thermal design is terrible, but it's a different story. But even when the CPU get throttled down, my battery gets discharged while being connected to the most performant Apple charger (96W). An no, the laptop is not faulty, I can reproduce it with a second Macbook with exactly the same specs. And when I'm not using the original Apple charger, because I have a nice monitor with PD over USB-C, the Macbook regularly refuses to charge, not always, but every single time when I need it to charge. No other device has any issues with the monitor (tested with a Acer R13 Chromebook, Pixel 6 phone, Lenovo/Dell/Acer/Asus laptops, Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 Tablet, Steam Deck, etc.) Edit: PD output of the monitor is also at ~96W
- drekipus 4y agoYou're missing the joke. They are good at charging you money
- scarface74 4y ago> I have a 2019 Macbook Pro with an Intel i9 I have a work Arm based MacBook Pro that last at least 12 hours on battery, never gets hot, I have never heard the fan, etc.
- nikitoci 4y agoI guess that parent comment was a joke about charging money...
- wodenokoto 4y agoIf you consider a decade a few years, sure.
- Uehreka 4y agoOh it’s you! The hypothetical person who gets mad about a once-in-a-decade charger change! I’ve heard so much about you in every discussion ever about why Apple hasn’t moved the iPhone to USB-C, you’re very influential.
