New USB-C charging cables... that transfer at USB2 speeds: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-selling-new-60w-and-240w-usb-c-woven-charge-cables.2401676/ quote:It turns out the company has also made available a new 60W 1-meter USB-C Charge Cable ($19) and a 240W 2-meter USB-C Charge Cable ($29), designed for charging iPhone 15 models, iPads, and Macs. Here you stupid assholes, have USB-C. BTW, we're limiting it to USB2 speeds, unless you spend $70 on a cable. Henrik Zetterberg fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Sep 14, 2023 |

Henrik Zetterberg posted:New USB-C charging cables... that transfer at USB2 speeds: This has always been the case with longer charging cables. Anker's too. For VR headset cables, a plastic signal booster is required halfway through the cable for USB 3 speeds, too. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Sep 14, 2023 |

One of the biggest lies about USB-C is that you can do it all with just one cable. In reality there are like a bunch of different cable specs so that one cable can’t fast charge while the next one that looks completely identical can.

Its the dumbest fuckin thing, my boss just bought a ton of usb c cables thinking they would work for data transfer for our new hub/docking monitors and they loving did not do anything but charge the laptop.

I got a trade-in deal for my 14 Pro through Xfinity Mobile so I would be a bit shocked if they didn't continue that this year.

I had zero issue with lightning because I knew exactly how it would behave when I plugged it in.

I’m doing the get ready part of the pre order for tomorrow and it asked me to confirm my carrier but then I’m just kinda stuck on a screen with checkmarks and when I closed the screen it didn’t save the carrier pre check? Is that normal?

Buy new ones. Mine do the same thing and Apple refused to replace them. They weren’t manufactured within a certain window.

My only draw to the USB C change is using the same cables to charge my junk. When they brag about the data transfer speeds on a corded iPhone, who are they talking to? Who keeps huge files on their phones that need to be transferred by cable to their computers?

As expected im still between the 15 Pro Max and the Plus now. I was hoping the keynote would make deciding one way or another easier but it just complicated it all. Reasons to get the Pro Max: - Better battery life vs Plus due to processor - Newer processor - high refresh screen / Pro Motion - Base storage is 256GB, which would be nice as I have 60GB left on my 128GB XR. - garbage base 15 colors Reasons to get the Plus - $300 cheaper (if I get the 128GB version) - lighter - dont need extra camera, 3.0 transfer speeds, action button, AOD - garbage pro colors - despite 1 y/o processor, will still be huge uplift from XR's A12 chip. Thoughts goons? This is especially hard because my XR was comparatively cheap even for the middle road capacity option and it’s now at 5 full years of service. Not sure how long I’ll hold onto this next phone, considering the phone market has matured and it took apple this many generations to get me to upgrade (I used to upgrade every 2 years because the gains were huge) buglord fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Sep 14, 2023 |

Hey thread! I’ve been rocking an XR for over 4 1/2 years now, but plan to upgrade to a 15 Pro Max. I have one of these wireless chargers that I use at night for my XR. It’s always worked fine for me and my spouse’s 11. However, I don’t know anything about wireless charging standards and have no clue whether or not it will work with the 15PM (or whether it’s even a good idea to use an off-brand wireless charger with a new device)? It would be great to not have to change my wireless charge but I will if the thread experts say it’s necessary or just a good idea to avoid off-brand issues. Thanks!

You want something that specifically says MagSafe compatible and does the 15W fast charging. I’d recommend avoiding generic poo poo and go with Apple, Belkin, or Anker.

buglord posted:Thoughts goons? Hey XR buddy  FWIW, I’m going with the pro max because I figure it’s nice to have the better battery and processor as I plan to hold onto the phone for a good number of years, I hope. I would consider holding onto my XR longer - it’s been a great phone overall and the first I’ve held onto beyond a couple years. But I’ve hit the point where I pretty much have to charge the battery in the evening for a bit if I have a “medium” use day. Also, it often stutters pretty badly when doing things like opening up the camera app. I’m pretty patient but it’s gotten bad enough it’s actually annoying. When I consider the cost spread out over 4-5 years, the additional cost of the pro max doesn’t feel that bad. Good luck!

Even generic poo poo that said it did the high speed wireless charging didn’t work. I’d also recommend checking out the accessories on apples website. You can at least see what brands should work and then buy them elsewhere or find a model that better suits your needs.

Fireside Nut posted:Hey XR buddy Yeah I guess we’re identical in mindset then. XR probably has another several years of physical usefulness yet, but seemingly everything is taxing to it, even certain media heavy websites. Browsing becomes slow and before long the brightness gets throttled to 50% because it’s getting too hot. Ditto with FaceTime. And then reason why I’m entertaining the idea of the Pro Max is to ideally go a day of heavy use without charging - something that’s gonna be happening a lot on vacation this year. Sticker price is hard to swallow, but I guess $1.1k out of pocket after trade in isn’t horrible for another 4-5 years of service?

Good idea - I’ll check it out Clark Nova posted:to be clear, an old generic wireless charger will work but it’ll be slower This is good to know. So, if I were to keep the old charger it shouldn’t cause any damage to a new pro max? In other words, there’s isn’t really any difference between the old off-brand charger and a magsafe other than the speed (10W v. 15W)? Yep! Totally same mindset. It will be the most expensive phone I’ve ever purchased but I also consider how integral and essential it is to daily life now. I think it’s worth the extra couple hundred bucks in the long run (hopefully).
