I have an ottocast for wireless CarPlay and it works pretty well. It can take 5 seconds to connect but better than wired.
Got a tip for us?

If this is legit, I'm SO HAPPY that they're getting rid of that high gloss finish they've used for the last two generations. I never liked it and always thought it looked tacky as hell. I also imagine it's a fingerprint magnet.
In a way the non-Pro iPhones looked more "premium" because of the nice matte finish!

sure if you looking at circa 2010, nowadays usb-c is pretty ubiquitous even on cheapo androids.
I slap on a magsafe battery to my 20% iPhone and it effectively becomes 70%. no need to go back to the hotel or drop the phone into the backpack with a cable sticking out.
wear and tear is minimal. infact, if you fast charge daily, you're wearing out the battery just as much as wireless charging.
my experience: airdrop is faster than lightning due to lightning being stuck at usb2.0. so no, lightning doesn't really have a benefit there.
ok, in that case your anecdotal doesn't prove anything either then lol
Is wireless charging bad for smartphone battery health?
Wireless charging can definitely have an impact on battery life, though many factors must be considered.www.androidauthority.com
did you even read your article?
"All things considered, you don’t have to worry much about wireless charging affecting battery health. Even if your phone does somehow get dangerously hot, modern battery management systems can communicate with the charger to either reduce power output or stop charging altogether. After all, the same protections exist for wired charging too."
and congratulations, you understood my point: anecdotal evidence proves nothing. sorry, what's your argument?
cable is not faster to get your phone enough juice.
if you're at 20% while traveling out in the city, you either have to drop your phone in your bag connected via wire to a battery or go back to the hotel room for 10 minutes.
magsafe: slap on battery in 5 seconds and I get effectively 50% extra charge. magsafe battery is faster.
and since wireless charging is everywhere (my table/my car/coffee shops/airports), i top off my battery effortlessly so less worry about running low.
10 minutes? try 5 seconds. grab a magsafe battery and you effectively added 50% charge in 5 seconds.
who said I need to charge in the car?
whenever i get in the car, I usually control my music via bluetooth so i take out my phone and set it near the center console which has wireless charging.
i rarely get it down to 40% daily and often end the day with 60% battery.
That is a Thunderbolt 4 Port of course . Iphone Pro 15 will feature and does it not make more sense for the PRO models to feature M1 or M2 processor like it is with the iPads . Pro iPads feature M1 or M2 .. the other iPads feature A1 processors ...
My bet is we see iPhone 15 Pro with M2 processor and support for Thunderbolt 4 and even Apple Pencil and then we have a iPhone 15 Ultra that's a rugged iPhone 15 Pro ..

I have both USBA-C and USBC-A adapters to use on some of the cables I still have. Both are Anker brand I believe.
Exactly, I don't know why people are taking this picture as if it represents the final design of an iPhone 15. Most likely it is a fake, but even if real, it can be a prototype.
M2 processors will not make it to the iPhone, they have higher power consumption and would drain the iPhone quite fast. All in all, they're rebranded version of the A#X processors that used to be included in iPads.
That's fair, I do agree a battery pack could be pretty useful for someone who needs it. Personally I can usually make do with the built in battery or a fast charge top-up if really needed, otherwise I prefer to slow charge.
The main reason I didn't upgrade to the iPhone 14 this year was because it didn't have this port. This is long overdue.
you ignore the whole premise that it "depends"
Apple recommends avoiding temperatures higher than 95° F or 35° C and states that the ideal range is much lower than that at 62° to 72° F or 16° to 22° C.
most wireless chargers don't do that.

Just an adapter:
USB-C to USB Adapter
The USB-C to USB Adapter lets you connect your iOS devices and USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) enabled Mac. Buy now a apple.comwww.apple.com
But you need a USB-A to USB-C Cable. I don't think Apple sells that cable. So would have to use a third party correct?
I don't care what the charger port looks like lightning or USB C as long as it works.
Connecting an iPhone to a Mac wirelessly has never been reliable. I use a cable for backups and transfers. If they removed that connector one day I hope they have FULLY fixed wireless backup and sync to a Mac before then.
The problem I have with USB C is now work colleagues will want to grab my charger to charge up their device without asking me permission. Those Android users are always looking for a charge at others expense. They don’t even have the decency to put it pack when they are done or they keep it their space like it’s theirs.
