They most certainly do not, my FaceID worked flawlessly with all of my glasses, invluding sunglasses even when I did not set it up with glasses

Sure, I’m willing to eat my words on that one, for some reason my memory said 6a 2.0

Yes, the choice being the respective SoCs not needing 3.0 support because they were intended to be used with lightning connectors.

Doesn’t that run M2 SoC?
- Comment on Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report 1 year ago:
Someone else commented that the SoC literally lacks the capability to run above 2.0. If this is the case it would be very hard to call this even scummy adjacent.

Yea, well, there you go. Pretty much straight up supports my original claim. If they need to full on change the SoC why in the hell would they fork up to support thunderbolt on iphones.
- Comment on Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report 1 year ago:
Two factors. Do they still have lightning hardware sitting on shelves? Do they need to design to fit the iphone form factor? If the answer is yes to either of these, designing for TB this release cycle seems non-sensical when most people only use the cable to charge their phones.

I think that is most likely a lot of what drives that divide, but this almost certainly the case for the port. Some shit undoubtedly is software locked, and that is in fact scummy, but new hardware will always be more expensive than hardware you have already designed and maybe even have lying around.
To get thunderbolt in there they probably need a new board specifically for the iphone, while they can just cram in the lightning version with a new solder job and call it a day.
At the end of the day 95+% of the people who will use their phones will only use the port for charging anyway.

I mean, it’s not like it matters much. Most of apple devices actually expected to transfer data over wire are on thunderbolt already aren’t they? Frankly I’m a little surprised they switched to C on 15 already, iirc they could have still released this cycle on lightning according to EU regulation (I think it only comes in effect end of 2024, right?) It comes to me as no surprise that they use up the controllers they had for lightning before they roll out thunderbolt. It will probably be 2.0 for base and thunderbolt for pro this cycle and likely thunderbolt for all next cycle. That would be the apple m/o.

ITT people pretending this is a spite based move, when realistically it is probably cutting costs by reusing the same hardware they used for lightning ports just soldering on a USB-C port instead of a lightning one.

Because they are probably using the same controller, just rewired to usbc, there are videos of this modification being done aftermarket.
- Comment on I'm looking for games with unique or experimental game design 1 year ago:
Toribash is a unique take on fighting games, where you control the character in freeze-frames by adjusting actions on the character’s joints (relax, hold, flex, extend), then executing those actions. You can make singleplayer sequences or fight other players one on one - you get X amount of seconds per move simultaneously with your opponent, then the movement is resolved and you have another action round.
Omega Strikers - I’m not sure if this fits the bill entirely, but I think it is relatively unique in what it does and I have been playing the heck out of it since release, so I’ll plug it. It is a mesh of MOBA and table hockey, the game plays in 3v3 - 2 forwards and a goalie each team. Controls relatively standart for MOBA, the goal is to get the core (puck) into the enemy goal. You can also knock opponents off the sides or damage them making it easier to knock them off.
