The lightning cable is DEAD. Thanks to the European Union, Apple has to swap standards to what the rest of the world has been using for years. But if you want the full BENEFIT of USB-C, you might need to shell out some big bucks for the iPhone 15 Pro…

The $1000 phones problem is kinda like suddenly everyone is using a Ferrari as a daily driver. This new incredible chip will be 90% used to doom scroll pictures of friends and family
98%*
..and of the 2% maybe 5% will actually game on it.
That's something that I can't wrap my mind around. Most people just use phones for scrolling social media, yet they are more than willing to shell out four figures for a device to do that on. I get most people aren't tech savvy, but when a $300 Chomebook can perform that same task, but with a much larger screen and probably better battery life, you'd think people would smarten up to buying flagship phones all the time.
Doomscrolling? Are you about to go on a murder spree or something?
Yeah, $500 is too much for a phone for me, even though it's something I use daily. As someone who doesn't game or hardly takes pictures on my phone, none of this new stuff matters to me.
The fact that Apple had a huge part in the creation of USB-C should have been enough of a reason for lightning to have died sooner
They put it on their macs before windows OEMs did too, which makes it stranger. I dunno, they must have over over over spent on RND for it, i don't see why they didn't change from lightning to USB C like 5 years ago.
Apple said Lightning will be the port for the next decade. That's why they kept it for exactly one decade. When Apple does stuff, people get extremely annoyed. Every time and no matter what. That's why Apple is playing really really safe here and that's why they kept it so long and not changed it after only 5-6 years.
@@Winston-1984to sell lightning coords
You forget, apple likes money
@@Raja995mh33 They put USBC on their other products years ago, including mobile devices like iPad. There was no reason to keep lightning on phones for this long other than to charge for cables.
It's funny how lightning began life as being one of the great advantages of being in the apple wall garden and proving competition is good for the space (forcing the adoption of usb c over micro b) You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain
Yep and it appeared because USB-C was simply not ready.
Yeah yeah, just defend anti-consumer bullshit.
@@random_profile_4046how is that defending anything???
The only advantage lightning had over usb-c was that it was easier to clean when lint and dust got into the port.
@@commonname571more accurately the only advantage USB-C has over lightning is the extra conductors (and it being open to anybody), but my point was lightning was both an improvement over apples own 30 pin and USB micro b and at it’s introduction it was by far the best SFF connector on the market
the double tap finger gesture for the apple watch isn't new. I haven't watched the keynote so idk if they actually advertised it as "new" but I've been using it for 2+ years already. It's an adaptive gesture so its function is contextual. I mostly use mine to pause/play media, it's SO freaking useful. A couple weeks ago I was doing house work (painting mostly) and had dirty hands or was wearing dirty/wet gloves. I had my iPhone playing through a bluetooth speaker and anytime i needed to pause, just double tap my finger to my thumb and boom, music paused without touching a single device with my grubby mitts! It's freaking awesome. And there are way more gestures too with clenching your fist/tapping fingers but I only use the simple double tap otherwise it gets a bit overcomplicated and less useful But yeah sick feature (but not new lol)
if i understand correctly the gesture now works in standby and the user interface looks more nice.. thats the „new“ thing. all the old watches dont get the new interface and it only works turnt on. The functions seems to be the same between both versions
Always a vibe to watch Linus talk about Tech when I'm not buying anything
Yes
Well, just USB-C cables down the line.
Well.. in theory yes. But at least me who have kids. And now new fangle school every kind should have a ipad in school, that they only use for 3 years, then its sent home (for a fee).. we got.. well quite a few ipads at home now. Never bought any (well techically we bought them out from the school)
The one piece is realllllllll
True 😁
The thing with phones rising in pricing significantly is, I no longer feel the need to get a new phone every other year. I held on to my Galaxy S9+ for 4 years, and I plan to do the same for my S22+
When phones hit $600 I felt the same way. I looked on in horror of when I had to upgrade while rolling with a nexus 5 for 8 years.
Same! I write this to you now on my S9! The only reason I'm going to replace it is I cracked the screen back in August. I'm just waiting for the new models to launch
Until the battery swoles or reach end of support.
I'm using iPhone 13 Pro Max from 2021 and probably gonna use it for 4 more years or until they stop giving software updates. Gonna get my battery replaced next year though as it's health is deteriorating.
I kept my pixel 3 for 4.5 years before moving to the pixel 7. I plan on using that one for the same length of time, so I am on the 4-year upgrade cycle right now as well.
I always check back on this channel to wait for in-depth explanations like this. The Pro it is.
Would be interesting to know if the VR video recording format is specific for the Vision Pro or if it might be useful with any VR headset and video player.
Can't wait for the aftermath of the "new port" on third party Type-C cables with putting USB 3.0 behind Pro/Max only - Thunderbolt's initial introduction & USB's "SuperSpeed" existential crisis name changes weren't confusing enough for consumers it seems. Maybe this will be a good reason to revisit the cable tester with MFI Type-C cables?
We definitely want to do more cable tester content - LS
@@LinusTechTipsnice
@@LinusTechTipscan you test expensive audiofool cables?
As a cable fabricator, there is a lot of specifications that goes into the cables. They are not the same. By companies not supplying power that's tested with product, they open "the box".
I'm fine with lighting, I was for usb c though but the problems out came the convince. I had S21+ for a year and that connector got flakey enough to the point where even a wind could interrupt the connection. No matter how expensive the cable was. And who does file transfers via USB anyways? 😅
LTT actually covering a myriad of features that the main Phone reviewing channels completely ignored.
Well, sadly most phone review channels are just shills repeating some quick talking points. Even MKBHD, whom I mostly respect, is absolutely biased when talking about Apple products.
@@gd8838too right there, bud. It hurts the consumers in the end.
Tbh I’m yet to find a phone review channel that actually, you know, does a proper review. Phone review channels are a very low bar as far as quality goes.
Considering that most people just buy a phone because it calls, texts, and scrolls through social media, I think most phone reviews tend to appeal to the lowest common denominator and thus never have any actual technical details.
Kinda hard to go hard on phone when the tech is kinda same, boring slab pc outside of niche tech like folds/flips/cool gimmicks
WOW Excellent review, this is what i am hoping to see on your channel, Everyday tech!
What I'm interested in is the spatial video recording. I'm sure most people don't care about 3D but if it works well enough and doesn't degrade the quality of the video I'm all about it.
I am honestly surprised they didn’t pull one of their famous « I shall avoid that new European policy at all cost » by simply removing the charging port. I was so convinced the magnetic feature of their MagSafe wireless charging was built for this very precise reason. Hope USB-C is here to stay now!
From slow usb2 speed 480mbps lightning cable to 10gbps usb c. Now Iphone can have android charging speed circa 2017.
@@fynkozari9271 5+ years to implement the same features as most Android phones is the Apple way.. But hey at least the Pro models got decent transfer speeds!
@@infernaldaedranope, the EU law DOES NOT require a charge port. They could have gone fully wireless.
@@infernaldaedra I agreed with you at one point, till I started using a wireless headset to listen to audiobooks at work, which we weren't allowed to do. After years of the convenience, I can no longer stand wired, unless I'm stationary, like at my PC anyway. So I essentially never even desire to plug in headphones to my phone anymore.
if you're using apple wireless charging you're just to lazy to start a fire 😂
I'm stocked that the A17 Pro has ray tracing acceleration, not because I care about ray tracing on a phone, but because it means they'll likely add ray tracing acceleration to the M3 processors.
I'm stocked too
AC Mirage and RE4 on a mobile phone is insane, and very telling of a future where any game that runs on Metal can run on your phone. Stoked to play No Man’s Sky natively on my phone lmfao.
I also hope that due to competition android users also get these improvements way earlier due to apple pushing such things.
@@gutzbin Phones are surprisingly powerful new phones are often substantially faster than a couple years old or even cheap new office laptop.
I’m more hyped for metalFX up scaling actually being used in games (genshin impact). It looks better than FSR right now.
More like the EU fixed the problem
I still can't get through one of your vids atm over all the stuff that's been going on. But good luck with the reboot, I really do hope you rebuild LTTs rep
I wonder if Apple engineers are actually uploading OS image in USB 2.0 speeds, that's really slow and will take a lot of time to test any changes
They probably use wifi and small patches.
@@varno That would be an impressive feat to have bootloader with Wifi capability that can load OS image without verification, that would be a really nice ground for jailbreak
@@Gastell0 i guess they flash the nand in production, before it's soldered onto the board
@@Gastell0 oh, no the os images are probably signed with a dev key, and dev devices probably have an exception to that chain of trust, the ios devices are impressively locked down. But a minimal kernet with a wifi driver is on the order of 10s of MB. I don't work there, but knowing what is public about macos internals, that would be my guess.
@@0q2628 That's not what I meant, when you're developing an OS or some component or software, you're pushing the whole OS or some components to the test device, typically over direct connection from developer machine to test device over usb connection, if it's usb 2.0, it will take forever each time
Problem with A17 Pro is that next year's base models will not only get a one year old processor but a cut down version of it.
Sounds like something Apple would do.
Probably a non pro chip. I think by doing so it creates a bigger feeling of innovation and progress when the base model inherits some of the pro features
Yields get better on chips over time, especially with new die casting at 3nm. It makes sense to put a higher-end chip in a higher-end model.
And you will still buy it 😂
So the problem isn't with the chip itself, but with Apple. Just being pedantic... but I do agree
I wish I could be excited about the CPU / GPU performance - but unless they’ve done something to improve heat dissipation I fear it’ll only last a few minutes. I hope I’m wrong. Would be really cool to have LTT do some phone gaming tests with a long duration to measure throttling. I’d be curious to see if apples newer chips last longer not because they have better heat dissipation, but because they have more overhead and can run more efficiently.
The phone is made of titanium, and their copper heat syncs they did like a metal fusion method to fuse them to the chassis. So, in THEROY it actually should work pretty well.
@@NelsonBlvd :) there's a for the public solution. just double down on niche. the new norm.
@@NelsonBlvd honestly it seems like a waste to make a consumer phone out of titanium, when aluminum or recycled plastic would do just fine.
@@NelsonBlvd Isn't it only the outside rail that's made of titanium? They said the inside is still made with aluminum.
@@andrewlalisand then some Boeing will crying that they dont have enough titanium for aircrafts...
This was actually a really good and balanced video LTT! Nice!
I find it interesting when people get rid of a perfectly good phone in order to get the latest model. I try to use my stuff to destruction.
Why hate on those people. You do you. And let them be. Everyone has different lifestyles. And people have different reasons.
i still have a working Galaxy S6 (from 2015) i would not consider it a viable "daily driver". then again i don't buy a new phone every year either, more like every 3-4 years
@@Lord_LindaThePhilosopher I said it was interesting, not that I hate anyone xd
i'm stuck at galaxy s9 since there is no better phone after that. mostly downgrades, removed headphone jack, sd slot etc. i mainly use old hardware for this reason. because it is just better
There's a very high demand for old gen Iphones in so-called developing countries and trade-in offers can sometimes be so good that it's actually cheaper to upgrade. So yeah, you can get the latest model with a good offer and your perfectly functioning old-gen Iphone will be resold to someone who will be more than happy to use it. It's basically a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Raytracing and AV-1 decode (and hopefully encode too?) on the M3 will be sick
(Somehow I missed the "on the M3 part" of the comment)- They would have said encode if it did. It's 100% just decode
@@Hobo_X He's talking about the next generations desktop class M processors. If the IPhone gets all that than they will surely give the Macs a hell of a lot more oft it.
And there are normal gpus and apps that support AV1 now. For example Arc, RTX 40 and DaVinci Resolve. It's revomlutiomn, Johmny!
you ready to lose a lot of battery life ray tracing uses a lot of power
@@WRo1901 Arc and RTX40 are not "normal gpus", that's high end and cost as much as the phone... and DaVinci is Software, which is obviously less performant then a "on-chip" solution... ffmpeg can encode AV1 for years already, so software has never been an issue.
Yoooooo! That exact lift desk was given to me as a gift as they needed something that held heavier items, was such a score!
Only issue I have with usb-c is the non standardization of power delivery, i cant just use any usb-c block or cable.
You can, but it might charge a bit slower. Every cable should be able to do up to 30W. iPhones can't do that anyway, but for even faster charging you need special cables and bricks
I'm a cyclist and the Apple Watch seemed pretty cool but 1. I don't have an iPhone 2. Garmin watches cost less or the same and for the niche that I'd use it for, they have basically all the features... but as a standalone device The gesture thing would be a great feature though to not have to let go of the handlebars
i guess the watch is "feeling" the muscle movement under the skin, and when you are grabbing the handle bars, maybe this could falsely trigger the gesture
Garmin and even Polar watches don't even come close to the look & feel and overall user experience of an Apple watch, and I say this as a ~600$ Grit X owner.
My guess was actually the opposite, that you don't accidentally trigger it while grabbing the handlebars but instead don't even have to let go of the handle bars to trigger it intentionally. Guess someone needs to test it. Also now that you say it, you might actually accidentally trigger the action when switching gears or braking. Btw pretty sure the apple watch, like many other smart watches and heartbeat sensors uses light to shine through the arm and look at movements in veins and muscles, they probably use that for the gestures aswell.@@0q2628
And a garming 530 is million times better than any watch
@@RandomUser2401if you want another phone on your wrist, you buy an Apple Watch. For everyone who doesn’t, but still wants a fitness watch, there’s garmin. I owned a few generations of AW just to realize the constant notifications and managing two phones was exhausting.
That double tap feature (plus a few more cool hand gestures) already exists as part of the accessibility settings (go look, it’s there). Apple’s just bringing it to the forefront now.
They probably improved it a lot. That why they never made it mainstream.
@@nocivolive huh? I dunno how they can improve on it: it works pretty damn well already. And it isn’t mainstream because no one knows about it. It’s hidden right now in accessibility settings. In fact, I only know about it thanks to another KZhead channel showing it off some time ago.
Yes, I always use it to take selfies on my iPhone, stop timers on the watch, etc.
I can’t thank you enough.
@@nocivolive That's also my guess. It works OKAY now, but if they're bringing it to the forefront, perhaps they improved the actuator sensors or ML model or something. I get a lot of accidental triggers with it with the Accessibility option
WatchOS 10s cycling features might actually rival names such as Garmin and Wahoo with just how easy and well made it is. It also helps that Strava automatically imports your workouts to their app, which is good because almost every cyclist uses Strava. My only gripes about it is the fact you cannot start a workout on your phone, only on your watch. And how theres no map intergration. If you want directions you need to have the app open on your phone instead of your stats, or use the watch for directions (which is actually pretty good, but not perfect.).
Regarding the faster S9 in watches at around 9:10: Having a fast processor in a mobile device is also beneficial for battery life: If they can go back to sleep faster after completing computations faster, you'll save a bunch of watts here and there, extending your battery life.
Even after all these years I still find it more than a little amazing that I have a more powerful computer in my watch and in my phone than I did in the actual computers I used throughout the 80s and at least part of the 90s. We live in interesting times.
@@mavfan1Ja. Discrete components set them apart.
@@mavfan1 I would say the difference is two things, 1. Generally the components are all on one Chip. 2. A lots of the components are configured just for that type of device and there are components that aren't in traditional computers. (For example, there being Gyroscope and accelerometer in your watch or phone, 5G Antenna, etc.)
@@mavfan1he meant there's more computing power in his watch, than there would have been in a ZX Spectrum, say. I suspect you knew that. In a technical sense they're all computers, but there's a very big difference between one you can play Elite, Exolon or Saboteur on and a watch. Now... if we could plug our watch into a mouse, keyboard and large screen that could be fun.
Pick any smartphone from the last 10 years and it has far better performance than any pc in the 80s or 90s and even early 2000s
Yeah too bad they don't let you do anything with all that performance... You are limited to mobile apps. Imagine if they had included thunderbolt instead of usb2 and you could use a usb-c dock to turn it into a computer (like Samsung dex but on steroids) and actually use all those CPU and GPU cores + metal API and carry all your computing in your pocket all the time
As someone with an Apple Watch 8, Double Pinch is already buried in the accessibility settings. But it doesn’t work quite as fluently as I want it to, so I’m excited to see what the next update brings.
I’ve been using it for about a year now (and love it) so I thought them calling it “new” was a stretch
I've been using it on my se and although not perfect, it works most of the time
Apple Watch 6 user here. Same with me. Buried in accessibility.
I gotta say for how fast you guys put this video together, it's very well made and full of great and relevant info!
I've been scraping by for years and years and I still have my iphone 7. It's had two new screens and a new battery. Last month I landed my dream job so this morning I preordered the pro and I cannot be more excited to have a phone that doesn't immediately overheat running instagram

I’m guessing it’s gonna still be super similar to the S23.
@@skylovescars69420same, but i really hope not.
@@skylovescars69420 There's not a lot to innovate now, smartphones are now at the point where 90+% of users don't care about increases in speed, gaming power, storage, camera capability, etc. I guess the next big 'advancements' will be improvements to folding phones and extending the battery life to over a day. But I don't expect any other major alterations to the design of phones.
2TB storage
@@Jake-rs9nq The speed/power will increase very slowly in a way that users don't care from one year to another(also because not much functional change happens), but once it increased enough after some years that power that accumulated over the years may enable new things that wouldn't have been reasonable to implement a few years ago because because the power wasn't enough. And that function maybe something many people will care. I'm hoping they will make the concept "use your smartphone as a desktop pc "mass compatible. Android maybe by cooperating with microsoft to implement a very windows-like UI for the desktop mode. Many causal users won't bother buying an extra desktop for home use when they can just buy a monitor and hook up their smartphone and use it like a classical desktop for web browsing and writing, with all the UI-comforts of a classical Desktop (Samsung dex still has many flaws)
You can already double tap on your Apple Watch. You just have to enable it and accessibility. You go to settings, and then accessibility then you scroll down and you turn on quick gestures. That will do everything that that double tap does.
I didn’t catch the detail about the non pro line using USB 2.0, appreciate it!
The thing you missed is they names their chip A17 Pro. thay means next year the non-pro models not only will be getting 1 year old chip hut also a cut down version of it (A17 bionic, basically non-pro).
No ray tracing and AV1 decode, possibly lower benchmark scores too. Iphone 16 may just be 15 with a "new" one year old chip.
I think they'd keep av1 because it could cut their streaming costs for appleTV but im betting on them removing the usb 3 controller at least for the cut down version
I haven't seen any KZheadr comment on this yet, but it definitely seems like it.
This right here is why you shouldn't be an apple fanboy. All you guys get hoodwinked once a year lol
why is ray tracing on a phone no apps have any suport for it. but yes it sucks that they sell you in the base model last years tech at todays prices. @@unholydonuts
The gaming side of things was interesting. It does look like Apple is gearing up to becoming a heck of a lot more accepting of game devs coming to iOS/macOS/visionOS.
who would want to be seen with an Asus gaming phone? They are so cringe
Honestly, all this stuff about games being ported to iPhone makes me wanna buy a backbone one
@@paulotremba4688yea gaming phones are just silly. Like it'd understand if there were actual games to play and not pos mobile games like genshin and all that trash.
Plus people need to stop complaining about charging speed and learn to keep their phones at a good state of charge. Besides, fast charging harms the battery in the long run. Even the measly 20w or so charging apple allows now drains peoples battery health to 90% or so after a year of use (see a lot of 14 pro max’s around 90% health while mine is at 100%). I go out of my way to only use 5W charging for my 14 pro max, and have never found myself running out of battery. I typically use a USB port on my PC which can only output 5W max, or the USB port in my car which is also 5W. A old 5W wall wort would work too tho if you have one. Charges plenty fast imo and I also always keep my battery between 20 and 85%
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 im so glad someone says this about batteries. I have a program that keeps my m2 air battery at 80% charge when plugged in. Also my 14 pro max is at 97% health and i use wireless charging 95% of the time. I charge every other day or when my battery is 50-65% charge
6:31 Ironic how he held up a samsung note 9 as im about to upgrade from a note 9 to an iphone 15 lmaoo
I've been a PC / Android (and Symbian before it) user for all my life but honestly for the past few years each year it feels more and more like everyone is playing catch-up to Apple across all their Products, and they all work great together which is less than what we can say about the larger Android & PC (Windows or Linux) worlds. I'm still not switching to the Apple ecosystem but it is becoming very inviting.
iOS software is still severely lacking, so there is that. Also equivalently priced Androids have competitive hardware and build quality.
" F I X E D " is a big word for Apple.

Feels like the segues were supposed to be switched. "No matter which segue I do" followed by motion gray that can do multiple work positions "green, like this segue" followed by Ugreen
We can see how much they used that week off to “slow down and catch all of their mistakes”
They never have their sponsor segues match their sponsors.
I may have phrased it wrong. I don't think it was an actual mistake, just that it would've been funnier if they were reversed. Linus's segues are usually pretty out there.
Saw the release info before but you did shine light on a few items so good video! Other than that... 1 video ... and 3 ads (I think.. possibly more). I really suggest reducing those but yeah I get it more money, more money.... Anyway glad you seem happy in your videos and are back to your old self! Take care Linus :)
They had the double tap pinch gesture on the previous ultra by going into the accessibility menu if anyone has the OG ultra and wanted to use that feature…
USBC is leagues better than micro USB, I'm just glad USBC is the standard now.
Not even comparable. MicroUSB was never a good invention, and probably should never have existed in the first place. It was utterly embarrassing how prone to failure the ports were.
Microsoft hasn't been the standard forever. Not sure why it's relevant to this video.
It's always weird to me when people complain about micro USB being fragile. My current phone was a cheap model from 2017 and I've been using its micro USB port daily (several times a day, even) for 5 years now and it's still perfectly fine. I've worn out a few cables, though. But I'm also like, unreasonably careful with it. I'm unhealthily attached to my phone.
bot@@companyoflosers
I despise micro B. Still use a couple devices that have it. An old xbox one controller and Bose BT headphones from 2021 (Bose put a 2.5mm audio jack on the damn thing too REEE! 🙄 ) When it’s time to charge I gotta go look for that highly inferior cable
The 14 pro max charges at 27W, I’m sure the bigger 15 also charges at more than 20W. It’s annoying because apple doesn’t officially list charging speeds
I also thought this, so many channels just report on the 20W number but I have a Anker powerbank which shows the output and my 14 Pro Max also reaches around 27W.
That still seems plenty fast, there's diminishing returns pushing these crazy charge rates. Better for the lifespan of the battery too
Can charge in 30W. ONLY IF U HAVE A ORIGINAL APPLE CHARGER 😂😂😂😂😂
@@hugosorolla9478 Not true, I use third party cables and bricks and it charges at about 27W just fine.
@@hugosorolla9478wrong, any USB C Power Delivery charger and lightning cable. iPads also charge at over 30W since ages btw
All and all Apple seems to be focusing on innovating in the chipset department. Sure other brands have features that Apple adds later but when it comes to the performance of their chipsets and the integration between hardware and software the competition isn’t able to compete. The iPhone 15 Pro is very compelling. I have the iPhone 12 Pro and have been wanting a phone with a larger screen and larger battery. I’ve also been wanting telephoto zoom and have been wanting USB C to be added for the past year. The pro max seems to check all the boxes… but I think I’m going to wait and see what some hands on reviews say. Very good review. I agree with all of your takeaways from the event and am excited to see what more performance Apple is able to squeeze out of their chips! The A17 Pro chip seems like a mini M1 chipset. Basically a computer processor in your pocket! If Apple can nail down the thermals we may see an actual M1 chip in an iPhone lol. Or maybe they will call it the Mi lol. Apple is often first in a lot of ways with their products. The power of their chipsets is another huge step that should push the entire mobile industry forward. Within the next 3-6 years I bet the entire industry will see a HUGE leap in performance that hasn’t been seen in quite sometime.
The only thing I liked about lightning connector was its strength. My Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G USB-C connector is a little weak causing charging and data transfers to be a little problematic for charging and external storage transfers.
For context, my Note 10 had it's port chewed out by other brands of cables and the insignia brand can loosely hold the phone by it's port. My Note 20 can be hung of the insignia cable and fished out of a couch with that brand, and it has done so consistently for 2 years.
i find this hilarious because my sister and friends have broken a ton of their lightning cables and I, an android user, broke only one.
@@eianfederle2715 You are not understanding the problem my phone is broken not the cable.
The programmable action button is super cool, I love that feature on the Galaxy Note 9 I'm using now (technically remapping the Bixby button)
I haven't used a cable for data since ios got over the air os updates and added backups to iCloud. This is probably true for most users, especially the non-pro/max/ultra (whatever suffix they are calling it) model ones. Lightning was basically a precursor to the USB-C design. It was amazing compared to its contemporary, mirco-usb. Lightling lasted about the same length of time that the 30-pin dock connector did, they were due for a change. I still say the USBC cable ecosystem is a mess. They never adopted clear labeling or color coding of what a given cable's capabilities are. 480/5/10/20/40 Mbps, 4/8k dp, 30/60/100/240W power. And the more capable cables linked thunderbolt have very chunky connectors that are awkward sticking out from a phone by up to an inch. I just wish the USB-C cable people would actually use the standardized logos on their cables, but almost no one does.
Would sure love the airplay back on older macs, to be used with iPad Pro for Procreate
The New USB-C on the 15 Pro Max also outputs monitor with upscaling for gaming.
I was thinking that with all these gaming handheld, Apple arguably has the best option for a handheld chip but practically 0 chance of it becoming a thing.
Sadly true tbh. They already have native support for PS and Xbox controllers, they just don't have the games or userbase for it. However, if they ever actually properly invested in it, I could see an 11" iPad Pro with an M* processor being an absolutely unbeatable portable gaming device. I'm tentatively hopeful that something will change though as this is the second year in a row they've focused on the gaming aspects of their various devices. If they do end up purchasing Disney, I wonder if they'd consider entering the gaming market with their own IPs..?
Gaming could be such a great showcase of the power of those tiny little chips. It's nice to see Apple finally see that as well and put some effort into it. I mean, if they actually manage to deliver and RE4 Remake looks and plays nicely on a phone then they'll make one hell of a statement.

9:50 Double Tab was already an feature on Apple Watches it was just called „assistive touch"
FINALLY. Ive been using it on my Series 7 for years now and now everyone's talking about it like so evolutionary new thing like ????. im so confused its like apple just actually advertised this feature instead of burying it in the accessibility settings lmao.
Yeah and I use it all the time! I like the hand clench gesture better though.
@@MTM358 i do prefer the hand clench gesture but the double tapping has been more consistent for me for whatever reason lol
@@MTM358 yea hope they don’t kill it
@@jotec1290 They won't, it works fine on Watch OS 10 release candidate. Plus it's an accessibility feature, and Apple is big on that and wouldn't want the backlash by removing it.
6:13 "Supporting older devices." I have been using the iPhone XS this last week (running IOS 17 beta) and other than the battery life and aging cameras I'm perfectly happy with the speed and especially the size of the phone. I'm genuinely considering buying the 13 Mini and rocking that for a year or two. Edit: this phone is FIVE generations old this year
Even after a year I'm still excited about my 13 Mini. I bought when it was no longer just a rumor there will be no Mini any more, so why wait? The phone isn't getting any younger, although I switched from the original SE, so I was due for an upgrade for quite some time :-) I hope to have it also for like 5-6 years.
I bought my daughter a 13 mini when it was new. I wouldn't recommend it. The battery life is really bad. It's better than the 12 mini, but still really bad. I regret getting that one instead of the regular 13.
Have been on my XS since it dropped and besides the battery lacking, I have absolutely no reason to upgrade. Speed, cameras, display, everything is satisfactory.
You are worried about battery life on the iPhone xs but you wanna upgrade to a mini ? 😮
how is the battery not shit at this point? every phone i’ve owned has a basically unusable battery after 2 years. My current phone is from 2018 and i’ve already swapped the battery twice
Am I weird if I like lighting? USB is fine but was always glad I don’t get aggravated with which side of the lighting plug is in. Always drove me crazy with usb 2
Apple managed to do USB 3.0 over Lightning in 2015 on the first gen Ipad Pro. The USB 2.0 limitation always was deliberate.
Im interested to see how they score in repairability since that was an underrated feature of the iPhone 14
Said something about trying to make it even better.
The 14 has terrible repairability, all of the parts are serial locked and AASPs can only replace the screen abd the back or else its a whole unit
@@jacksong6226still scored better than Samsung S series according to iFixit
I thought it was ridiculous when Apple highlighted the usb 3.0 controller on the chip (which is a kind of awesome chip in terms of the gpu). But, now thinking about it, there likely wasn’t a 3.0 controller on the chip from the pro model last year that is going in the base iphone 15. I wonder if they will bump the base to 3.0 and the pro to thunderbolt next to around.
If they keep the same trend of the non-pro models getting last year's pro chip, then the iPhone 16/Plus should get get A17 Pro with the USB 3 controller. Hopefully they bump the pro models to Thunderbolt at that point.
I suspect they'll bump the features up when they want to make it seem like they did something amazing which is how the average Apple customer will view it. They always think Apple invented a new thing :)
Just wait on USB5 or USB4.0x2.1+UltraGigaSpeed_40gbps lameusbforumnamingscheme, then maybe Apple will force the base model Iphone 16 for USB-C support superspeed, and hoping a desktop mode features on ios when plugin to monitor or a dock.
It's also kind of stupid how the latest iPhone won't support the same speed as your latest MacBook but limit transfer speed instead. The USB2 in the iPhone 15 is completely embarrassing in comparison to any other smartphone with USB-C. But the point that even the iPhone 15 Pro Max will limit transfer to or from your MacBook doesn't make any sense. I think the regular iPhone should have gotten USB3 and the Pro models should have gotten USB4.
@@TheJackiMonster USB 3 can be 5, 10 or 20 gbps and USB 4 is 40 or 80 gbps. So there's lots of room for them to move. Honestly 80gbps is probably pushing it, and not really worth worrying about too much. There is an issue with the cables themselves. They get pricey if you want the highest power + highest data + length from USB 3/4 and they get thicker. A three meter cable is great if you're in bed and want to be charged, but you wouldn't want it for transferring data at your desk obviously. I think they'll weaponise it though and use it to push adoption of the next gen Mac laptops and desktops/M3 chips along with iPads and iPhones of course. What makes practical sense on your phone to get all your video/photos off after a holiday so you can do the modern equivalent of making your family look at a photo album is another matter. Anyone used to Lightning is going to be blown away by the Pro Max though. Same with charging speed potential.
Hopefully Samsung "copies" that action button and brings back the Bixby key with built-in customizable options. The Bixby Key on my 2017 Note 8 was a super handy shortcut button via the Button Mapper app; press once to toggle vibrate mode, press twice toggle flash light, press and hold to use Bixby quick commands. I continue to enjoy the same flexibility on my new Note 9 (couldn't settle for any of their dumbed-down "upgrades" in 2023) and won't be pruchasing any Smartphone without it.
I think lightning disappearing will also lead to less confusion in USB-C… eventually. There’s gonna be a revolt once the “it just works” iPhone user crowd finds out the clusterfoxtrot that is the USB specification; hopefully the USB consortium is forced to simplify and mandate the goodies that are optional.
Usb-c is just so confusing, like you said wish they made things more clear to consumers. Each cable could have a different data transfer rate, charging rate etc… Wish they had some color coding or something.
there is already a system for that, it is called Thunderbolt 4 it is basically a quality stamp for the USB-C connector that says "I got USB4 + a list of other features"
There's no excuse to not include USB 3 on the base model. The only reason they keep USB 3 exclusive to the Pro is obvious. They're trying to upsell you the Pro models.
I have used the file transfer of my phone maybe once a year during the past 6 years. As long as the charging speed is adequate (which it isn't) the usb transfer speed couldnt matter less to me...
There's no need for USB 3 on the base model and building it in the last years chip would increase cost. Get your tinfoil hat off.
@@HtoTheB you pulled the thought right outta my head
Seems more likely being tied to the last gen Pro chip they're using which doesn't have a USB 3 controller. Creating a new chip and not being able to use stock of the old one just for faster USB speeds on a non-Pro device doesn't seem too reasonable.
In all fairness, I barely use USB transfer on my iPhone, and 90% of people will never use it, so it doesn’t matter too much
USB c is great for when I eventually upgrade, but my 14 pro max has been sitting on a magnetic charger as needed. So beyond that the upgrade is underwhelming.
Lightning cable 480mbps usb2 speed. Usb C 10gbps, at least 20X faster. Iphone 14 battery health deteriorates fast, did Apple compensate u in the battery lawsuit? Btw wireless charging is wasting energy.
Yet iSheep are all convinced this is some crazy new upgrade and they have to buy it! Lmao...this phone has looked exactly the same for like 5 years now and the only updates its gotten was slighly faster proccesors and cameras.
@@brokentradgedythere’s litterly a whole video explaining the updates to the phone, lmao. There’s a whole new button on the phone, for gods sake.
@@fynkozari9271 Sure, and I will use all that when? I doubt many people plug their phone in for much more than charging. Anyway it’s nice, just not a huge upgrade. I bought the 14pm because it was the first phone that seemed like much of an upgrade since my 11.
Whilst overall i think moving to USB C is the right move, I've never had a lightning connector fail on me (yes the cables themselves weren't great) but I've had loads of USB C connectors fail because they've gotten clogged up or quality from 3rd party manufacturers was crap.
I dont think that lightning was too bad, although I will agree that it over stayed it's welcome. I think that the iPhone X would have been a great time to switch to usb c
People bitched and complained non-stop when Apple switched from the 30-pin dock connector to Lightning in 2012. Imagine if Apple had switched to USB-C after only 3 years with Lightning. But yes, Lightning definitely over stayed its welcome. Should have switched around 2019. Lightning was superior to ANYTHING that was out at the time in 2012. Micro and mini USB suck bad in comparison, they could only charge and do data, no audio or video, and micro USB is very prone to breaking. I'll even go as far as saying the 30-pin dock connector was superior to micro and mini USB, it could charge, transfer data, and do audio and video.
bruh i wrap my charger around my 7+ like a christmas present to get it to charge. its good riddance
I think physically Lightning is a superior design, it sits secure and always have a satisfying snap when you plug it in. USB-C is loose in almost every USB-C phone i own, while my 3 year old 12 pro max the connection feel brand new. @@charminbaer2323

I'm using a Samsung galaxy s10 I fix it myself, and it was very easy to replace the screen, only the battery replacement that was a little hard because of the need of root to zero the cycle counter. It's from 2019 and this thing is a machine supporting hdmi output, usb 3.0, and a full desktop environment making it also work as a computer, but there is only a few apps that use the dex environment, and it can also share It's battery with wireless power share
Im still rocking my Galaxy s8 since release, still fast enough for everything.
The EU made Apple fix the problem they created and then Apple did the same thing again
If the EU made Apple fix the problem only for them to do it again, is it even a problem for Apple?
Now it would be nice if Apple could make it so you can download an entire folder from ICloud Drive. They've never done this, so I use One Drive from M$ to upload my pictures from my phone and download them to my computer. Plus Apple has that weird HEIC format for pictures. Older computers don't recognize it.
HEIC isn't a weird format tho agree that older devices don't recognise it. It a open format which is really go in terms of storage optimisation while maintaining the efficiency of the image

I am a tradesmen, so with the iPhone, I get plenty of dust/dirt in my charging port. It’s easy to clean with a lightning port. I’m scared with the new type C style that I won’t be able to clean it without damaging the center of the charging port.
You could buy a magnetic detachable cable(like apple MagSafe in macbooks)
From the way they framed the USB 3 announcement for the iPhone 15 Pro, it sounds like the iPhone 15 is stuck with USB 2 because it runs the older A16 SoC. Since that design was done years ago, they couldn’t just sneak in a new USB controller in response to the EU regulations. edit: yes Linus acknowledged this later in the script. And per the WAN show that was edited into the script in script review by him, so that explains the delayed/inconsistent acknowledgement of this idea :)
I kinda understand why they didn't change it yet. People don't like change. My husband and I both have Android and his parents both have iPhones. One time he let his phone die when we were over there and I had a car emergency on the way home (he was coming back later). They thought that micro USB was the same as USB C and were so insistent that they had a cable. They did not. They also recently installed an outlet with USB A ports and tell me that they have it when I plug in my USB C brick to charge things. I took a USB A to USB C cable and left it there, for future use. Whenever one of them gets a new phone, they will complain that it's a new cable (even though I have warned them several times). To be fair, they probably won't upgrade at the same time.

as linus said he suggested he should delete at 6 min mark, 6s is better than for your eyes assuming the screen is not crapped out, but PWM and temporal dithering on new iphones hurts my eyes. Think about USB 2.0 , you have to be desperate to get this.

Ive had an iphone and android in my pocket for years and never got a new iphone. I finally feel like its worth it to get the new 15 pro instead of finding a deal on the previous gen. Its so so sad im paying 400+ euros more on the same model here than in america.
its 250 now, they dropped the price a little after they raised them on the 13
They - sort of - did. They neutered the transfer speeds on the regular 15 models.
So how do you know this
@@NaraSherkothey said only the Pro has USB 3
2:09 It's due to it being USB 2 on the regular models, and 3 on the pro.
Its literally in the video
And this is why I wanted the EU to revise their law to require a complete implementation of USB-C, with USB 3 and Alt modes enabled, and also force mobile gadgets with internal storage to adhere to the MTP protocol for file transfers to internal storage. Windows users still need iTunes to interface with Apple hardware, which is cumbersome and non-portable, and transfer speeds from the PC are still soo early 2000s. I don't care how much you wanna sell your cloud solutions and sell your users' data, Not to mention no support for output to external displays using the standard adapters. It's neat for iPhone users to be able to charge with any charger and cable, but that's about it. Totally half-assed. This is a sin committed by various Android smartphone makers, too. USB 2 only on a USB-C gadget needs to die in a fire.

It’s been a great cable - far better than the plethora of (worse) standards which existed when it was developed. And it’s been supported for a bit over a decade, in that same time I had at least 7 different cables before then… Has it been time to switch to USBc for a while? Yes.
Yep, Lightning was a great connector, considering the garbage Micro-USB it competed with. Very durable and reversible plug. But moving to USB-C is good for everyone long-term.

@@michaelwatts5341"usb-c bad, lightning good, no I will not elaborate"
Good news that Lightning is finally (!) moving out! My main gripe about that is the fact that the conductors are exposed on the plug - I had a cable short out on something in my car 'between seats heap'; it melted the end of the cable and took out the charger plugged into the lighter socket... Never trusted them since that.
You left it in the car where it get insanely hot and the plastic melted since apple use a softer plastic for the enviroment :)
I noticed something that was Tim Apple as all hell. Apple was incredibly eager to tell you that _with USB3 Gen2 10G on Ip15 Pro and Pro Max _*_you can even record ProRes straight to external media! Woho!_* - What they were _not_ that forthcoming about - is that _you can _*_ONLY_*_ record ProRes to external media._
The A16 is the exact reason why the standard 15 has usb 2. the iPhone never had a use for a usb 3 controller with lightning
That problem they created made them a ton of money in the meantime.
But... they would've made the same money if they had just been supplying/selling USB-C cables. I've had iPhones going back to the iPhone 5 and I've never had to buy a Lightning cable or any kind of Lightning connector other than the ones the came with my phones, going back to the beginning of Lightning itself.

@@AnirudhTammireddy Nah, I just like when people back up weird claims. I googled "what was more profitable for Apple to keep Lightning as their phone port for so long" and didn't see any straightforward answers. Can you point me in the right direction, since it's easily searchable?
@@VegasHyruler I've had countless lightning cables die on me over the years, and had to keep buying more, so that's one thing. The other, no they wouldn't have made the same money selling USB-C, apple owns the lightning patent, so when anyone makes a lightning cable, they need to pay royalties to apple. With USB-C, Apple doesn't own it, and they only get money from selling their own USB-C cables, not literally all the USB-C cables like they did with lightning.

The A16 iphone 15 has a converter from usb c to lightning built in instead of natively being USB C. Which explains the usb 2
USB 2 was part of lighting port, it only had pins for 2.0 they would need to change port for 3.0 with more pins. Because of that older chip dies only have 2.0 USB controllers, it would be waste of logic space on chip otherwise.
