Someone said you could charge the new AirPods from the phone, but I don’t see anything about that on the AirPods Pro page. Just MagSafe and Qi and Apple Watch chargers. Too bad, that would have been cool!

So with the new USB-C, does that mean I can plug in my Xreal Air AR glasses like I do with my iPad Mini and watch Netflix or whatever? That may be the killer feature for me with some big storage if so.

The keynote showed an iphone and airpods pro 2 connected and charging via usb-c. So I assume Lightning airpods pro 2 users are screwed.

I remember the android phones and tablets able to do bidirectional inductive charge to be a nightmare to use due to misalignment of coils. Unless you want to have half of the phone weight in magnets, i'm not seeing it happening real soon.

No leather and FineWoven cases for the iPhone 14 Pro on Apple's website.

Ehhhhh $480 trade in for my 13 Pro.

edit: T-Mob offering a better deal I think? The wording is strange.

AT&T is offering $800 trade-in for my 12 Pro. But you have to sign up for the 36 month installment plan so that virtually locks you in with them for the next 3 years I guess? Still seems like a good deal since I had no plans to switch carriers.

I'm on a grandfathered T-Mobile plan so my options for trade-in are Apple ($320 for the 13 mini :rip: ) or whatever Best Buy ends up coming with. Hate to leave the mini form factor behind but I'm looking forward to a new phone.

Oh, well that is an actual advantage of USB-C I guess.

Did the iPads already support that?

This is like the first time I can recall they said nothing about an iOS. It was all hardware and very weird tbh.

No it's pretty standard. The iOS updates are announced in the spring. Everything about iOS 17 is known because it's been available to the public as a beta for months now.

The only thing they might save for the fall announcement is any specific features to the new hardware. Like dynamic island last year.

Wait, how does MagSafe work again? I remember the diagram but the one on the site just shows a plain-jane USB-C connector going into the phone. Didn't the keynote show a MagSafe connector on the phone itself? Is it a combo somehow?

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

You can at least charge the pencil with the usbc iPad, not sure about the AirPods.

It uses usb-c to plug into a wall wart. It’s just a wireless charger that connects firmly to the iphone so you don’t have situations like with the watch where it moved half a centimeter and stops charging

Yeah, one of the biggest features of Qi2 is they accepted Apple's proposal everyone use their magnet solution.

Honestly? I'd do the exact same thing - standardize on USB C imo.

I just melted in the iPhone thread, I’ve had an Apple Watch for years and didn’t know I could use the same cable. Did they just do that for the 2nd gen? Could have sworn I tried it on my OG Pros.
