    Which USB-C / TB dock with charging?

    I'm looking for a relatively simple dock for my MBP14, which has enough USB-C ports for 2 external SSDs and 1 mouse, and can charge my Macbook via a single USB-C cable. I have found some options from Anker, Caldigit, Satechi and OWC which would fit the bill, but they're all really new TB4 docks...

    iPhone 15/Plus iPhone USB-C loose - saw this coming

    Yup, I always said the USB-C port is a disaster vs. the secure and reliable lightning connector. Now it's confirmed: USB-C sucks. The connection is fragile at best: Mine is the same. Thanks, EU. You forced an inferior port on all of us. Horrible.

    Record anything else besides pro-res to USB-C connected device?

    I have a Sandisk iXand usb-C thumb drive that amazingly enough is fast enough to work with my new iPhone 15 Pro Max when recording Prores video. I would love to be able to record standard non-ProRes video and photos directly to the drive. Are any of these other formats supported?

    Cable Charger compatibility (Apple included)

    So I saw Apple has new braided USB-C cables! But the 1m cable is just 60W instead of 100W... Now, hypothetically... What if I only want to carry around one charger and one cable for iPhone, iPad and Mac... What if I use the shorter 1m braided 60W cable with a 96W charger and my MacBook Pro...

    iPhone 15/Plus USB-C iPhones seem not to be compatible with some USB-C cables

    There were rumors before the release of iPhone 15 which say that Apple made the iPhone's USB-C port only accept MFI USB-C cables, while after the release, I didn't find any clarification about this rumor. So I opened the Apple Store app, where Apple sells third-party accessories including USB-C...

    Other iPhone 15 Pro Questions

    Hi! Hopefully someone can help answer a couple of questions I have about the iPhone 15 Pro: 1. If I buy a 10Gbps USB-C cable, is that going to make the iPhone 15 Pro setup much quicker since I will be restoring from an encrypted backup on my MacBook Pro? 2. If the answer to question 1 is yes...

    Is it worth buying Apple usb-c to lightning cables?

    The cable that came with my iPhone 11 is broken and I need a new one, not only for charging but also for backups to my Mac. Because of the backups I am interested in (data) reliability, otherwise I'd certainly buy a much cheaper third party cable. Is there a difference? Can third party cables...
