Yeah I'm thrilled about EU forcing apple to adopt usb-c. It's ridiculous they selling phones for $1k or even phones with 1TB for $1.5 with still usb 2.0 transfer speed.
And will be nice to use one cable to charge everything else and use cheap off-the-shelf Usb-c pendrive instead of MFI compliant pendrive or not needing to buy some dedicated dongles.
- dagmx 3y agoUSB-C is not necessarily USB3, it’s also not even necessarily data. I don’t know why people who care so much about usb-c support also happen to keep making that mixup. The EU only mandated the port not the data portion. There’s tons of devices that use usb-c (android phones, other devices) that are usb-2 or no data at all.
- prepend 3y ago> usb 2.0 transfer speed. I haven’t transmitted data over a wire to my phone in 10 years. I think the usb-c switch is just about consolidating all the different connectors and saving consumers money. Lightning was created though because there was no good cord standard. MicroUSB really sucked. So it’s not that Apple is a jerk or anything, they just didn’t change when a decent standard emerged.
- the_overseer 3y agoNever used cable to transfer anything from a phone. Just for charging. Don't like it? Don't buy it.
