iPhone 12 Mini With Both USB-C and Lightning Ports Becomes Latest Eye-Catching iPhone Mod

Why not? We soon have a separate app for classic music so why not a separate port for usb-c

Enough space for TWO connecting ports but GOD FORBID they give you microSD card slot or a headphone jack.

Apple's so full of it, it's disgusting.

I cannot wait to see that waterproof microSD card slot. Amazing.

My current Samsung s10e has that. My old Sony XZ1 Compact had it. Newer Sony phones still have it. It's not that hard.

Apple just wants to squeeze every penny out of you by forcing you to pay up for the higher storage phones by jacking up the price by a lot.

Yes, it’s preposterous but also triggers the part of my brain that admires arrays of ports. I can’t help it. I want to buy things to connect to that port.

 

[Matsamoto]

So now it's lightning fast?😉

A single person adding USB-C, an upgrade that Apple should have done on their phones years ago, absolutely pathetic they haven't yet and honestly embarrassing at this point.

I think it's pretty obvious that, if Apple hasn't transitioned iPhones to USB-C yet, is not because they don't know how to do it.

Would love to change my 13 mini to usb-c

oooh but the iPhone Mini ... nobody wants those. it's too expensive. blah blah blah.

But we have this as it's more than capable and shipped with top spec chipset (Both 12 mini and 13 mini).

That USB-C port is so thick that you could never design a thin folding phone with that limitation compared to Lightning. They'll probably get rid of the port altogether then.

That is awesome! Not sure how the battery life is going to hold up. Next up create a headphone jack hole.

How exactly does the addition of another port negatively impact battery life?

He did move around all the internal parts of the iPhone. I was wondering if this would have an affect of the battery life.

Now with a functioning Ethernet port and SD card slot.

And dvd drive.

Too bad somebody could invent a an attachment for the bottom of your phone that has all the ports, maybe make it part of the case that when you plug it into the case you have a microSD slot you have a USB-C a slot and a lightning slot.

 

[_Spinn_]

Very impressive. Though I would take just a USB C port over having both.

 

[XXPP]

fugly.

 

[MBAir2010]

can't we use a magnetic charger instead?

 

[MorePixels]

Soon the modders will be putting a lightning port back into the device.

 

[Bobcat32]

We need this on iPad except the second port is a display input port!! Such a shame such a beautiful display can’t be used for steam deck or anything for that matter

Interesting to see the various projects making changes to the ports of an iPhone.

I get the feeling they want people to forget that it’s possible for a device to have more than one port. They even tried it on the Mac but people kept calling them on it until they fixed it.

Don’t they still sell the MacBook Air with just a single USB-C port though? Ridiculous. I get that they want to push the boundaries and move the industry forward and floppy drives etc etc but come on.

And I’m still salty about the SIM slot.
