It looks like Apple had USB 3.0 speeds on early Lightning-based iPad Pros. The Lightning to USB 3 camera adapter’s product page doesn’t mention anything newer.does it now ? i'll be honest i didnt know
kinda recent though isnt it ? compared to usb-c 'simplementation
If the outside party is the elected government of a region then companies don't have a choice. Governments can compel companies to act in what they perceive to be the common good, companies might not believe in environmental regulations are in the best interest of the consumer but that doesn't stop governments regulating them.
Why would they suddenly become worthless? There are still plenty of devices that use them and the devices out live the cables. Even if they make a switch for whatever reason they aren’t suddenly going to stop making new cables.
The last time they did this the result was that nearly all devices confirmed to micro USB and the tech world got a little bit easier. That was back in the day when every old style mobile came with its own unique charging plug and socket. So not always a bad thing but point taken.
They actually only cost a small fraction of the national administrations. EU bureaucracy is comparatively quite lean.
It’s smaller.
Then that in itself is odd. So if a device is wireless it doesn't have to have a USB-C port but if a device is wireless and does also happen to have a port it must be USB-C? That is just silly.
Well, many people don't use wireless charging. Carrying a cable or using a device while charging is far too convenient when compared to having to carry a wireless charger or using the device while placed on it.
That's why I think a few common sense additions, such as regular review of the standard and requirement of input from industry (so they can pitch what they think is the best new tech) would be useful.
Would it really be that bad? Except for charging my iPhone, I don’t use the Lightning port for anything nowadays. And even charging I often use MagSafe now. If the Lightning port on my iPhone broke tomorrow, I think I could manage okay for years without ever getting that Lightning port repaired.
It absolutely does since you said you want Apple to be forced to use the inferior USB-C port.
The f. You certainly don’t “have to” click Accept Cookies, you have the option to do so or opt out, and that’s the point. To have a choice and opt out. If you don’t make use of that choice speak for yourself not others. I opt out of all cookies as far as possible and am great full for regulation like this. It’s not perfect, but of course it isn’t. How often have we done this? Never. You know, people learn with time. Regulators are just people, too.
You have no idea what you are talking about. I was born in Europe, currently live in Europe. Just going from different Scuko supporting countries, to Italy, to France, to the UK you have different plugs, different sockets with different amp ratings. You end up with 1-3 adapters just to switch. And voltage is not even the same. The EU is a joke. They want communism back, everybody be the same, the party dictating what is and isn't allowed. Planned economy will not work.
I do too though I think they should make the reject all button easier to find or not required at all. Rejecting cookies should be the default and you should only need to opt in for features that require them.
Apple would lose its revenue steam from selling Lightning accessories.
And the consortium gave us USB-C, an inferior physical connector with multiple “standards” so you can’t easily tell what a cable or port actually supports. We literally know what happens by commitee and it’s worse than what Apple did with Lightning. And they literally had Lightning to use as a model and STILL got it wrong.
That’s something else, but something I guess all can agree on.
