Why do people keep saying about CPU being the similar to the iMac? G3s in Macs were available at least a year before the iMac.
LoL I’m talking about lighting connector for iphone, why would you bring up android,odd?So if I sell million or billion of anything it automatically makes it a standard or just forced acceptance. Let me know how a Lightening connector is "standard" on Android phones for example. If it is so good, maybe Apple should offer it up to other vendors licensing free. It should have paid for itself by now with MFi royalties right.
Look it upI thinking you are misrepresenting the word "standard" in this context. Nice try though.
So the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, OnePlus 8 Pro, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S21, Google Pixel 5, etc with USB-C is not IP68...hmm.
USB-C is a tiny minority, I think you are thinking it wrong. USB-C is on many Android phones, on many Chromebooks, Windows products, Apple MacBook/Air/Pro, Apple iPad Pro/Air, etc. Care to measure how many products Lightening is on.
It has nothing to do with lazy, if I travel for example with one USB-C and one Lightening cable and for whatever reason one cable gets lost, damaged or does not work that means I will have to purchase another USB-C or Lightening cable. Now if I had two of the same cable such as USB-C, the chances of this happening is very remote. Plus there are options of length, vendors, etc for USB-C vice Lightening.
Do you get your oil changed at the dealership with their special oil or do you shop around in a free market?
ur making my point for me

I have an iPhone 8 Plus (Lightning) and a 2020 iPad Pro 11" (USB-C).Funny lighting is more waterproof and better in every way than usb-c, but odd people still call for usb-c, make no sense,
I have an iPhone 8 Plus (Lightning) and a 2020 iPad Pro 11" (USB-C).
I can plug an external flash drive on my iPad Pro with no adapter and no need of external power.
On my iPhone I need an adapter AND it also needs to be plugged on the wall at same time otherwise I get a warning message: "Cannot Use Accessory. This accessory requires too much power"
On my iPad Pro I can also charge my Apple Watch on the USB-C port.
Suggest to re-read my comment.LoL I’m talking about lighting connector for iphone, why would you bring up android,odd?

Android handset internationally has around 74% market share while Apple has around 23%. Granted there is a mix of possible USB micro and USB-C connectors on those Android handsets which still exceeds Apple’s Lightening connector. Now it’s your turn.Look it up
I was not in the market to sell anything to begin with so what is your point, I was using it as an example.I don’t think you will sell a million of anything
Glad to hear someone using critical thinking, yet these supporters for Lightening connector fail to recognize that there were iPhones prior with Lightening that were not water resistant.Thank you for stating the obvious. I have an iPhone 7 plus and a few other Apple products (iMac, iPads) and it really burns me up when Apple (or any advocate for Apple) spouts absolute nonsense. To make a claim that the USB-C standard doesn't allow for as high a level of water proofing as the lightning implementation is either a) an outright lie that someone figures they can just get away with, or b) requires a LOT to back up that claim with links to technical papers. Either port design is just a receptacle with wires ultimately with some active electronics on the other side of the wires (both in the cable itself and in the devices the cable is hooking up to obviously). I work in electrical engineering, though not at this device level, but nothing I have learned would justify a claim that the two ways of making a cable don't each offer ways to make as waterproof of a connection as you want (and here I mean water not damaging cable or device, not necessarily being able to operate the connection under water or in the rain).
But what is obvious is that Apple's design is the inferior one because they put the "spring part" of the connection (the part that moves and ultimately wears out) in the phone as opposed to in the cable. That decision was idiotic in my opinion and I have no idea why it was possibly made other than to force us to pay more for repair vs. buying a new cable with fresh "springs" or to shave a mm of the phone thickness which annoys me greatly as iPhones are already too thin (I'd much rather have a bigger battery and stronger chassis).
The 120HZ Display on the iPhone 12 is the feature I mostly want. The larger batteries are also another thing.
There were IP68-rated Androids way before iPhone was even waterproof and they were using usb-cFunny lighting is more waterproof and better in every way than usb-c, but odd people still call for usb-c, make no sense,
If mini-LED comes to anything I will definitely skip that generation and wait for the non-light-bleed version. Local dimming solutions can be kind of OK on movies (until you get to the credits) but I don't think it would work pleasantly for window-and-text displays.So after 9 years waiting for a decent mac I’ll buy Macbook Pro MiniLED this year and next year it’ll be display-obsolete
C is more marketable. With Apple, there’s not much beyond that for justification. People can now buy 10’s of thousands of usb c products on Amazon, from companies they've never heard of, with unknown specs, that stand a very good chance at least partially not working. All centered around a chaotic “standard” that changes monthly. Oh, and it’s quicker, for the 3 or 4 users that need fast I/O on a phone for more than publishing screenshots of speed tests.Funny lighting is more waterproof and better in every way than usb-c, but odd people still call for usb-c, make no sense,
How the heck is it "impossible" to plug in a USB-C cable in the dark? Lighting and USB-C share the same shape.USB c isn't as good as lighting, impossible to plug in dark
USB-C can reach USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds. Lightning is limited to USB 2.0 speeds. There’s a 20X difference. That’s huge.Funny lighting is more waterproof and better in every way than usb-c, but odd people still call for usb-c, make no sense,
Burn-in with OLED is a thing of the past. It isn’t an issue these days.OLED over MicroLED / Mini-LED / QLED? Oof, good luck with the burn-in.
