iPhone 13 and 13 Pro Unboxing and Honest First Impressions

[TracesOfArsenic]

…he said, as iphone 13 breaks all sales records because what people really care about is battery life and cameras, and not the nonsensical half-baked “features” that samsung and google keep adding and then losing a year later when they found out nobody wanted them…

Battery life and cameras are big draw cards, I don't disagree. They're also easy wins, which USBC is too but Apple makes too much money from the MFI program so they won't do what's best for the consumer and give them one cable to rule them all. It's a half baked and inconsistent approach because they sold everyone on USBC as the future and the "pro" option yet none of their phones have it. WTF Apple.

Apple makes chump change from mfi. If that was really their motivation they would have kept all the ipads with lightning. The reason they don’t have usbc on iphone is because it makes no sense to make everyone change their connectors for the 1 or 2 years left before the phones go full wireless.

Just a quick one. When your phone throws a hissy during an update or similar, without connecting to a Mac how might you recover things?
