They’re waiting to see what Google does so they can add the feature 5 years later and call it the “greatest innovation on any phone.”

There is a similar workaround to get iMessages on Android.

You still haven’t explained what the difference would be when ‘Bob’ plugs in his USB compared to when he plugs in his lighting cable.

“Otg cables and docks, video out etc”, like I said already, won’t cross 95% of user’s mind.

Right but what difference will it make for average consumers?

For an example: Say IPhone 15 comes with USB-C and ‘Bob’ plugs his cable into the USB port. What difference will ‘Bob’ notice when plugging it vs the lighting port?

No clue. Though I don’t see what the hype is about. USB-C will mean absolutely nothing for 95% of users.

It is a scam. The only thing remotely close is uYou+ and you have to sideload it or be jailbroken.

There isn’t such a thing for iOS unless you’re jailbroken or know how to sideload.

There is already a free way to do it.

I have the 14 PM and I mentioned how the battery wasn’t that great for me and I got downvoted to hell 🤣

It’s actually not just me but the 14 pro models haven’t been great for lots of people.

So again, if you’re not saying things like “Apple makes perfect hardware and software” prepare to be trash talked and downvoted to hell.

You’re going to get trashed and downvoted (seems you already have) here also.

Apple is a trillion dollar company and if you’re not shilling for them then you’re the bad guy.

Apple doesn’t need aggressive PR because they have more aggressive fanboys.

Dynamic island has very little use. I forgot about it after day 1.

I’ll look into it.

I’ve watched a few YouTube videos and read a few posts about people having issues with the battery life.

I actually turned off AOD along with other features. I’ve only used the camera maybe 3 times (I’m not a big camera person and don’t take pictures at all)

Went to work with 100% battery and left with 70%

Thing is, I barely used my phone because I was at work. Occasional messages, checked emails, a few phone calls and that was about it. I used it for basic stuff and I lost 30% within a 8 hour shift.

I didn’t realize that in 2023 people are paying for ringtones. Wtf!

What will USB-C offer?

I recommend iPhone 11 if you don’t need 5g

If you have about $750 to spend I’d recommend 13 pro for 5g and 120hz refresh rate screen.

I would turn off location, background app refresh and other battery draining settings. You could also put your phone in low power mode to save even more battery. 82% is low but you should make it until next year.

Apple won’t change your battery until it reaches 80% anyway.
