It’s not the same phone, because it has USB-C. I wouldn’t have paid 600€ for an iPhone 14, but this one looks somewhat compelling to me.

Now the 20% performance increase from last years becomes 10 and you have basically the same phone as last year. Good job to ensure people preorder.

But it uses the same connector as every other device I own, which is the biggest selling point of this year’s model. The performance gains are completely wasted because the 14 was already faster than needed for any usecase.

I honestly have no idea why iPhone users put up with those cables for so long.

Because they had to if they wanted to stick with the iPhone.
Really though, fuck Apple. This change wouldn’t have happened without the EU forcing their hand.

Lightning was the biggest reason I switched to maining an Android, altho I’m v happy now that I’ve switched

Me neither, the 30-pin cable was a pain!
Seriously though, I bought many of my Lightning cables before usb-c came out, after usb-c I bought universal cables. Most Apple stuff was already USB-C so it made sense.

Dord Iphone have their version of DEX? I could see the need for power if more people use their phones as a desktop computer. I think we’re not too far away from the day where laptops will just be a screen and a dock for your phone. There is no reason to have a laptop if my phone can do 95% of what it can. I hardly use my personal computer as it is.
