I hope Jonathan is feeling better!
Me too, and what happened to him?
@@MrSamPhoenix 💉
Thanks Travis for keeping this amazing channel up.. sending love to Jon..
iPhone15 is out and we miss Jonathan. But I'll watch this guy if Jonathan vouches for him!
I almost prefer this guy. Wish he would get some more license on the channel. Jonathan seems to have fallen out of love with tech and drifted towards music. Which is awesome for him following his dreams but sad for me cause he made the cleanest reviews.
The last bit of the video when you connect it to CRT 17 made me smile so hard :) I don't know what I was expecting but surely for it to work made it feel like a full circle to the early days!! Great work my man! Hope Jon gets well soon
Great video! Love the variety of devices! Prayers to Jonathan, but great job Travis!
Great Job Travis!! Loved this video and the end with the CRT mirroring men ! Keep it up!
Sending good vibes to Jonathan ❤. Feel better soon man, when I watch your video reviews in the past, it’s part entertaining, informative and also just overall very chill and fair. Hope you bounce back soon. Take care man.
it's crazy how a lot of people, including myself, have been wanting USB C on iPhone for the longest. I recently switched back to android because I missed all these features. I'm glad iPhone finally got it. now more of us get to share the same charger. USB C is so convenient!
Love how even though Jon wasn't here it still has the usual vibe!
Rubber doesn’t act as a heat sink. It’s an insulator. It actually prevents heat from leaving the device inside at the rate it would without the rubber. Some of the devices that didn’t work because the iPhone doesn’t provide enough power should work with a small dock with a larger battery plugged into the other USB C charge port. At least, it does with the devices I’ve tried it with.
thats facts
Way to hold it down, great video.
Great video! This is what i actually wanted to see! So many USB-C devices that do actually work! I hope Jonathan is feeling a bit better. Wish him the best for me! And thanks for keeping this great channel up. Love the high quality video's you guy's make!
Much love for this channel, the team and of course Jonathan!!!
The Backbone works! Nice! Thanks for testing all these devices btw, takes all the guessing out of it when we go to buy the products.
Okay .... USB C has been a long time coming haha ! Crazy to see how much this thing can do
Great Job Travis!!
Fun experimentation. Good to see content from yall!
Nicely done.. very helpful
Very nice and polished video! Thanks. I am definitely going to reference this when I eventually buy a USBC iPhone. 👍🏻
Great job 👏🏽
Sending love and all the positive energy to Jon!
this type of video is so holiday 2017 this is dope, good job Travis 👏👏👏
All the best to John. Positive thoughts and good energy.
Great job, Travis! I hope and prayJonathan to get better 🙏
i support Jonathan ‘ Feel better bro 😎
Thanks for keeping the channel going ❤❤
This unlocks a lot of potential. It's crazy. I can't wait to see the weird setups people come up with.
Very informative video, loved it!
This is the kind of test I was waiting for.
super helpful. My geek is overwhelmed with excitement.
This was awesome to watch!
Great video. Super useful information.
Yo great job. Love the vid
So much variety just with a port change. This shall open up newer avenues for iphone users. You've tested so many devices. Thanks for taking the time to show the world a possibility with usb-c connectors to iphone.
Okay that apple studio display crt 17 is super unexpected. I like watching these videos of people trying a bunch of different usb c accessories but that display just wins my attention here.
This is awesome!!
Sending love!!!
The CRT at the end was the cherry on top! 👌
Here to support Jonathan with a like comment and best wishes. Great job Travis!!
The amount of times I'd want my Ally to charge my iPhone will be never lol
Awesome! Just in time to get some accessories for my iphone 15 pro max. Will definitely keep supporting this channel, no matter whom is presenting. Hope Jonathan feels better too!
Hahahaha!! That old CRT display part is priceless!!
Great job!!
Killing it Travis!
That old CRT to Iphone 15, that VGA to usb-c is another level
Great video thank you :)
Feel better Jonathan!
This is awesome
Loved the video thanks mate. For the usbc flash drive, is it able to record ProRes directly to it? Or i need the SSD like Samsung? Thank you for your time
Great video! I’m curious, does the phone simultaneously work for charging, display mirroring and Ethernet with the right dock? I’m trying with a Targus dock at the moment and I’m able to get an Ethernet connection, charge, connect flash drives, and audio out but no display mirroring.
Question: whats better the belkin dock pr the apple hdmi adapter? When it comes to connecting to monitors and input lag???
Super useful, thanks! One thing I've found and enjoy is using an HDMI capture device like the ElGato CamLink 4k (I have a generic one) and using my phone as a video monitor for my Fuji X-T3. I bet some new apps will come out that REALLY make it look great and maybe even record. All of my Rode USB-C devices that used to require a "special" Lightning cable now just work with the USB-C port like Android. Super convenient.
Im curious if it will be possible to use an adapter to use hotspot data to output to an ethernet jack for use on a PC, or even a router.
This one for Jonathan. Amazing video, very fun.
Hey Mate, do you think it would set up with a keyboard, mouse, and display and be usable for basic tasks like getting through emails and using the files app?
awesome video ❤
just curious to see if you can connect some of the power hungry devices that weren't working using the usb hub and another power source plugged in to the PD (power delivery) port
Have you tried dumping footage from a card reader to hard drive? Curious if I can dump footage remotely without a laptop.
for the audio recorder, if you plugged that into the hub and powered the hub, it would work as an input and take the draw off of the phone
Very comprehensive video
Hey are they any USB-C adapters for cars that require a USB cable to connect to Apple Car Play?
first time viewer ...now subscriber. was confused on channel name vs Travis showing the stuff. :). Read other comments and saw Jonathan is offline - Feel Better. Enjoyed the testing stuff answer a lot of my question for the USB C on my phone. Thank you.
Hope BIG J is feeling better! Lots of love
That Studio Display holds up incredibly well, even through a camera and KZhead. Damn.
Hi you can use USB dock which supply power if the device you want to use needs more power
How about Mix pre as an audio interface? With other power options?
Get well Jonathan. This guy is doing a great job too. cudos new guy.
I closed my eyes and I hear Jonathan. The inflection, word stress, enunciation, etc sounds like him.
Great possibilities that the iPhone now offers. Is it also possible to connect an SSD for video recording and an external microphone in parallel? Does that have to be done via a USB switch?
I never thought about that
Hi thanks for sharing this video, it is helpful. I recently bought iPhone 15 Pro that has USB-C connector. I wanted to connect Zoom PodTrak P4 via usb-c cable to iPhone 15 Pro usb-c and use the Zoom P4 to talk and listen to phone calls with headphones and xlr mic connected to Zoom P4. Do you know if this is possible?
Hi. Does anyone know which belkin multiport hub was tested? It looks like they sell a few that look similar and of course it doesn’t list compatibility for the iPhones. Thanks.
Excellent taste in music my man! First Disturbed then Polyphia! “Playing God” by Polyphia is an absolute masterpiece.
Yes ! New video time
You should have tested if the A7iv does live preview with capture one
Could you use the iPhone as a display for the ps5 via hdmi ?
Any concerns with the backbone related to the USB-C? There is a small tilt because of the camesas.
Nah this is a great video can't lie! Now I realize I should be able to transfer photos from my camera to my phone quickly!
super convenient. when I had iPhone, I had to rely on the SD card reader and I hated pulling it out, plugging it in to the reader, plugging that into the phone, then taking out the card and reinserting the card into my camera. when I switched to android, I loved just pulling out the cable and transferring photos straight to my phone without having to remove the SD card. 😎
we still cant do direct impoirt or export videos or photos from the pc to the iphone without itunes?
This is the game changer, that got me to upgrade from my 12 Pro Max. I use my iPhone 12 for vlogging, and the process for transferring video files to my PC has been migraine inducing, to say the least. To be able to just plug an external drive into an iPhone, and have it not only show the folders on the drive, but to be able to transfer files back and forth, is what the iPhone should've been all along...
Take that Lightning Port!!!, goodbye and RIP 😂😂😂
i hope someone can answer me. i have an ordinary otg usb c flash drive. the iphone 15 pro max does not recognize it. does the phone need a specific type of flash frive?
Xbox one controller works thru usb c cable to my m1 iPad Air. Wonder if it’s a limitation of the iPhone or if it’s user error.
That CRT 😮😮😮😮
How does rubber act as a heatsink? Since rubber is an insulator won’t that actively work _against_ heat dissipation?
U didn't try a batter pack I have seen that some battery packs the iphone charges the battery pack instead of the battery pack charging the phone
Stay Strong, and get well soon Jonathan. ❤
Hope Jon is doing well. sending love. thanks travis for helping out.
When moving files back and forth with the T7 Shield, it only works on mac and ipad only or pc too?
@SirJonathanMorrison Um, I won an iphone pro max or something? LOL
I would have 2 more questions concerning USB-C and/or bluetooth connectivity though and maybe you could help me to solve that out.. 1) first, the interest I could see in it is the fact that (as I already do with my iPads) I can plug in a USB C / USB A adapter which itself hosts the sound card that lets me dictate with the microphone specially designed for voice recognition, attached to the pipette on my respirator. I have muscular dystrophy and typing on my iPhone - even the Mini - is proving increasingly complicated. I'd like to be able to dictate more easily on this device, as I do with the other devices in my Apple ecosystem. Will the port make this possible in your opinion? For the same reason, and since voice recognition is resource-hungry, I'm thinking that the new chip could perhaps be an additional asset in terms of recognition reliability. 2) however, and this will be my last question, even with iOS 17, I still can't get my trackpad to work as an iPhone control interface, even though the menus seem to allow it (just as it's possible on iPads). Do you have any idea why this might be? You showed on your video that it was possible to use an external bluetooth mouse to control the iPhone. Did you have the chance to test it with a Magic Trackpad too? As a matter of fact, without being able to control it, there's little point in being able to dictate more easily on my phone...
7:57 my USB-C backbone needed a firmware update to be able to work on iPhone 15 pro Max. The only way to update it seems is to first connect the backbone to an Android phone with the backbone app installed and wait for it to refresh the firmware.
The backbone website says you can exchange it if no access to Android device.
Hoping Jon feels better soon!
If you put the battery pack on the back of the MixPre-3 and connect it via USB-C it will work as audio input to the Blackmagic app for recording sound on your iPhone 15 Pro Max. You have to select the audio input in the Blackmagic app. Imagine a boom mic connected to your MixPre-3 that is connected to your iPhone. Now you have a professional sound input to your iPhone. WOW!
This works too, without latency, in the event you wanted to play without a computer. Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII 88-key Weighted Keyboard Controller.
I want that tshirt!😊
Try the monitor and keyboard and mouse at the same time through a hub
I never really cared about the iPhone switching to USB-C. This video just changed my mind!
what about the Switch Dock?
I like the direction iPhones are going
I hope jonathan is feeling better! Praying for him ❤🙏❤️
I love Travis
