Thank fuck, the lightning charger is hot dogshit, IMO. Th lack of compatibility of iphone is annoying, particularly around how 3rd party charging cords won't work with their products sometimes.

I had an iphone for over a decade, and finally switched to android. It suits me better. I spend a lot less time thinking 'i should be able to do this' and looking for a workaround

Base model 15 will still only have usb 2.0 speeds.

It's because apple hasn't released usb3.0 specs as a new invention yet.

The Pro version does have it.

Everything to push people into buying even more expensive shit, right?
