Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro
Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months agoI didn’t know what ultra wide band was because i never heard of it and…wow! Are you seriously comparing a very high tech stuff that only started to being added to high-end smartphones since 2019 (i still don’t know what it’s for) to apple forcefully crippling the speed of usb to what it was more than 10 years ago ? That’s whack ! I can’t even start to understand your thoughts process. Other famous company did something that can be considered similar if you tilt your head hard enough ( to stop blood from flowing to the brain that is ) so see the company i love isn’t fucking me sideways like y’all are saying. WTF ?

It seems to be that you are misunderstanding the entire tech concept. There is no “downgrading” the A16 chip from last year’s pro model is the USB controller. They simply aren’t upgrading that chip.
The comparison was not about a cable vs wifi. It was about the chip on the device as that is the crux of the situation.
No need to be rude or insulting with the blood flowing to the brain comment. Again this seems to be fan boy attitude to shit on “the other side” and be insulting to win the argument. I have no stake in this other than pointing out that people are freaking out and getting upset because they didn’t redesign the phone and architecture for $X to increase the speed of something almost no IOS user even uses.
An honest question, do you actually use your cord the transfer data from your phone or tablet? Personally I never use the cord on my Galaxy Tab, It easier to use Wi-Fi and a shared folder on my NAS.

Glad to know the chip from thei last year flagship phone can only handle a tech that’s more than 10 years olders. Truly a marvel of technology.
Sorry, went overboard there. I had a shitty day and i had discussion with a friend that defended apple like his life depended on it and just dropped the “you just can’t afford it argument”. That plus, my hate toward apple for being the origin of every shitty decision on the phone market like no replaceable battery ,no earphones with the phone, forcing Bluetooth earphones…etc
Absolutely. Everyone i know does.

Ahh. Totally understand that kind of day man. Truly I do and what an ASS for making that kind of comment. That can not be defended in any way. Sorry that kind of crap got dumped on you today.
Yeah the lightning cable only having USB2 speeds sucked since it was never upgraded.
I completely agree with your assessment of the “innovations”. I remember the conference they got ride of the 3.5 mm headphone Jack and they said “the courage” to do something bold. Bwahahaha. It just means everyone needed to buy an adapter for the accessories.
In terms of using the cord I guess I am the minority then. Sorry for assuming the other way around.

I think you’re probably in the majority, just maybe not people you run into on Lemmy.
I personally don’t have any family members who ever transfer data with a cable from their phone that I know of. Even at work, I would say only a minority do (although the age demographic is skewed older, so just understanding the phone itself is a big deal).
Also if you google number of people who use physical connectors to backup data, you get a flood of results asking if it’s even possible lol

Understandable.
