I wonder how much shorter the max cable length can get. Let’s find out!
there’s no cable now, just two connectors stuck together
Infrared all over again, fml.
I’m sure that any docks for 5 will only be 300$ or more…
If only they worked as anounced…
That’s pretty typical. 55" LCD TVs were $20k when they first came out, 256MB of RAM was hundreds of dollars when it came out, 128GB hard drives were hundreds of dollars when they came out. Someday, this thing will be dirt cheap and ubiquitous but not now.
That feeling when your laptop overheats because the USB port is consuming 30 watts. :-/
Already, I need to place a desk fan pointed on my laptop to keep it cool when it’s connected to the docking station via USB.
Is your dock powered by your laptop? I didn’t even know this was possible, all docks I’ve seen have their own power supply and actually offer PD to the connected device, not the other way around.
We need a more robust connection more than we need a faster connection.
All USB/thunderbolt variants feel like they are a sneeze away from snapping. It’s one thing if yiu are connecting things that aren’t meant to be moved around, but damn do they feel flimsy for mobile devices that could get bumped around.
How long until we get back to screw in connectors?
It would be pretty easy to make a locking mechanism for a standard usb-c cable. Like for example a slot that’s the size of a usb-c connector, and after you put the usb-c cable connector through it to plug it in, you then rotate the slot 90 degrees to lock the cable head in place.
120Gbps mode would be incredible for eGPUs.

Thunderbolt != USB-C

USB-C is just the connector, fam, you’re comparing apples to oranges

No offense, but I think there’s a gap in your knowledge. I’d love to fill it in, but to be honest, I don’t quite know where it is, so I’m going to go back to watching Godzilla, and I wish you a good night.

Lol, the iPhone 15 will get USB 2.0 like the rest of them.

It is a purely logical conclusion if Apple actually wanted to make this feature good like the rest of its competitors who have been giving usb 3.0 on their phones for more than a decade already. But Apple needs to milk us for more iCloud revenue, so this probably never will happen.
Apple users wish
